 > And what if the parent's moderation is ruled back? All children stay in
 the queue?

 IMO they need to get approved again automatically. All this would apply to
 approved children only of course. Children in the moderation or spam
 queues should stay there. And here's the next difficulty:
 - parent is approved, has some approved children and some children in
 moderation
 - then parent gets spammed, all approved children go to moderation
 (preferably with a note that the parent is unavailable/spam)
 - the user runs into a child comment that was previously in moderation and
 clicks Approve...

 So to avoid confusion this can only be done while moderation comments in
 hierarchical mode, the flat list we currently have won't work.
