 * Hi guys,
 * Just started using wordpress and think its great so far but I am having a little
   bit of an issue with comment pre approval.
 * I have disabled anonymous comment posting so that the person must be logged in
   to comment. Thats fine, all works great.
 * The problem is with the comment pre approval. I cant seem to force it to queue
   comments for moderation before they appear on the site. I created a user with
   a role of ‘contributor’ but have tried most other types with no success.
 * The box for ‘An administrator must always approve the comment ‘ is ticked but
   the comments are still appearing.
 * I am running this on localhost and didnt have any issues on the install as far
   as I know.
 * Any ideas, some help on this would be great as it is doing my head in. Thanks.

 * False alarm, found out that when I was messing about with posts I posted the 
   problem post with the comment account making that the ‘admin’ for that post thus
   negating the pre-approbval.
