 @rperrett

 Just checked on a test post in WP 4.7.1. So commented as a guest for the
 first time with Comment author must have a previously approved comment,
 enabled in the Discussion Settings. Approved the comment in the WP admin.
 Then commented for a second time on the same post and the comment was
 posted since I was approved for the first comment, when I commented as a
 guest.

 So that seems to work as it should do, since the comment did not need to
 be approved again and was just posted.

 On the site where comments are not being automatically approved for guest
 users on those comments, is there anything being used besides default
 comments, that might be effecting how comments work on that site?

 Also what is the active theme on that site?
