This setting enables you to control what should happen to non-junk comments after submission based on the status of the commenter. There are four choices:

• No one
• Trusted commenters only
• Any authenticated commenters
• Anyone

No one will hold all comments for approval of the weblog owner or other sufficiently priviliged user.

Trusted commenters only and Any authenticated commenters will hold comments for approval unless they are submitted by trusted or authenticated commenter, respectively.

Anyone will immediately publish all comments from any commenters.

Six Apart recommends Any authenticated commenters and use of the TypeKey service as a solid means of anti-spam protection.
