comments: solution?
don't know what typekey is, but found this while trying to figure out the problem:

I have complained about the comment moderation problem a couple of days ago. With the options "Accept Comments from Unregistered Visitors" checked and "Enable Unregistered Comment Moderation" unchecked, a comment added by an unregistered user still can't be approved automatically. Since upgrading to MT 3.0D I have to approve comments by hand. It bugs me a lot.Thanks to missblackajo!!! You saved me!!! I read through a thread in MT support forum and finally figured out why my comment configuration about comment moderation couldn't work. It's due to the Jay Allen's MT Blacklist which is incompatible with MT 3.0D. After getting rid of it from plugin directory, every thing works perfectly!!! I don't mean to blame Jay. Actually Blacklist is such a cool plugin if you decide to stay with MT 2.XX. However, if you are MT 3.0D's user and run into the same problem as mine, you'd better leave blacklist temporally and wait for a compatible new version to strengthen the comment moderation function.

ok, testing this potential fix out.

So, this is now fixed. Thanks brad -- I did remember seeing this solution but have been too swamped at the time to test it, then forgot about it.
now we have to figure out how we want to do this.
right now, it's back to the way it was (as long as the prefs are set up same as the main blog)
I'd personally be fine with the typekey registration thing... less having to sift through comment spam. To me, deleting spam wouldn't be that big of a deal, except that it's spread out across all of the sites on this page, so it's hard for one person to go and delete them all.
So from an admin standpoint, I think we should go with the registration system.
the crappy thing about this in the short term is that we'll have to redo most of our comment templates on all the sites.
Any suggestions here?

Just found a pile of comments waiting for approval - the last from Will and about 10 from blackjack.
So, who all can see the approval list?

pretty sure the approval list can be seen by anyone who has access to post to the site in question (in this case, the main blog, which everyone can post to)
