  Pending comments are now per thread, or more  
  precisely per item tree, rather than sitewide. 
  That was the original plan, and it turned out to 
  be only a little more code. The moderator (who 
  is not me) will turn pending comments on as 
  needed when conversations turn nasty.

  That doesn't happen on most threads, but it does 
  happen on some, and pending comments may help 
  fix the problem. I'm not sure it will. The 
  moderator will have to experiment to see what 
  works. But since the code was slightly 
  complicated I wanted at least to get the initial 
  version done before I left.
