An additional suggestion- don't show username on pending comments. Let the comments get approved solely on their own merit.
That should cut out a lot of concern about a ol' boys club, and honestly should do a lot to improve comment quality as well.

- hrktb 13y agoThe are discussions where user name matters, for instance when refering to the nth parent in the same thread, or when trying to bring more context to a point made previously or even retracting a comment (knowing it's the same user posting is important). We could get away with temporary user names, changing on a per thread basis for instance, but that might be heavy to implement.
