 This. We had this problem on P2s on make.wordpress.org for a few days (now
 fixed). It resulted in real people constantly submitting comments in
 duplicate, triplicate, and quadruplicate.

 I'm slating this for 3.7. tellyworth has agreed to get it ready for core
 again. Please, before -1'ing this ticket, read the whole thing. :-)

 Obviously [attachment:spam-awaiting-moderation-r10466.patch] needs an
 update for trunk. But also, I'm wondering if <> 1 actually makes sense,
 given custom statuses and alternative workflows (e.g.
 http://wordpress.org/plugins/comment-inbox/) — and given 'trash', which
 was introduced a few months after this ticket was closed. A trashed
 comment should no longer show as 'awaiting moderation', it's gotten past
 that. Maybe just 0 ''or'' spam is a safer, simpler check. (In the future,
 custom comment statuses could have a `pending` flag that we'd use here.)
