Once first comment is approved, then are all others for that author?

  Not sure if I understand the Approval function in Comments. Once an individual’s first comment is approved, are future comments for that person automatically approved? I would like to be able to approve each comment individually regardless of whether the author has posted previously.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I would like to be able to approve each comment individually regardless of whether the author has posted previously.

  That option is also available. Before a comment appears has two different settings:
  _ An administrator must always approve the comment
  _Comment author must have a previously approved comment

  If the first setting is checked, all comments will go into moderation and they will need to be approved by an administrator before appearing on the blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-moderation
