 The intention is that on a non-wiki site (like a blog) you can lock all

+If you enable the [[blogspam]] plugin, comments that appear spammy will be
+held for moderation. (Or with the [[moderatedcomments]] plugin, all
+comments will be held.) Wiki admins can access the comment moderation queue

+Comments pending moderation are not checked into revision control.
+To find unmoderated comments, `find /your/ikiwiki/srcdir -name '*._comment_pending'`
+To manually moderate a comment, just rename the file, removing the
+"_pending" from the end, and check it into revision control.
