DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO POST THIS KIND OF STUFF
HERE????????????
ASKING QUESTIONS WITH YOUR FIRST POST AND ALL THAT!?!?!?

Well, yeah, it works for me... Welcome!

(And this joke would have worked better if I hadn't fallen asleep while
writing this email last night and Alan hadn't replied first...  Anyway, I'm
saying basically the same thing he is. So we must be on the right track.  I
just chose a different place to hook in.  I think mine is better since it
allows you to respect Akismet or not at your discretion. (I've not fully
tested that feature btw.) So, now back to the original email already in
progress...)

I don't see anything wrong at all with your code, but I'd rather see this as
a plugin instead of a hack of code...  You'll thank yourself later when an
update does not wipe out this "feature" because it is just a plugin.  If I
were to make this a full fledged plugin, I would toss in an edit field and
allow the posts to be entered in a config screen and separated by commas.
Maybe I'll do that tomorrow night...  

Here's the code as is....  Just save it as "TCC_ModeratedPosts.php" in your
plugin directory (Please keep the uppercase letters.) and activate it.  

(I've now tested this and it works fine and doesn't interfere with posts on
other comments.)

Enjoy! (scroll down for the code - don't forget to snip off any signature
the mailing lists adds before you safe this as a php file.)
