 When I post a comment as a guest against a Post, it awaits moderation. If
 the comment is approved and I post another comment as guest with the same
 email address which I used in the last comment, the comment gets approved
 automatically.

 I think this should be treated a major bug since the moderation is meant
 for comments, not the email address.

 Even a guest comment was approved with `abc at bcd.com`, WordPress should not
 by default approve the next comment automatically only because there is
 another comment associated with the same email address and was approved
 before!

 The moderation should take only the comment body into consideration.
