Spam Control Measures
Anonymous commenters are checked against the stop forum spam database prior to comment save. Additionally the number of urls allowed in a comment is limited, and tighter htmlawed rules are imposed limiting the type of html that can be submitted.

Moderation
Comments submitted anonymously are saved in the disabled state and are only visible to users who have edit capability on the content that was commented on.
Users with moderation ability will see unapproved comments with a unique style and an option to approve or delete the comment. A batch approval/deletion interface is also provided with each comment having a checkbox.
Content owners are notified by email when an anonymous comment is submitted, the email contains tokenized links to allow for moderation directly from email regardless of logged in status.
