 In order to restrict spam, my site uses the following settings to restrict
 the ability to comment (from /wp-admin/options-discussion.php):

 1: Other comment settings / Users must be registered and logged in to
 comment
 2: Before a comment appears / Comment author must have a previously
 approved comment

 This generally works as expected, however the second requirement appears
 to test the user's profile information rather than user ids.  This means
 that whenever a user changes either their nickname or e-mail, their next
 comment is held for moderation.

 In my view, a better implementation would allow comments from logged-in
 users with previously approved comments immediately after a change to
 whatever profile information is currently tested.

 Apologies if this issue has been discussed before, I certainly couldn't
 find that discussion.
