What if we changed the comment section to turn on comments for both page
and artefacts unless an artefact explicitly prohibits it and then apply
the comment moderation? Having to allow comments on individual artefacts
on a large page besides the page itself can be quite cumbersome. Tying
that in with page comments would make this step quicker and reduce the
overload when uploading files as you don't have to decide it there.

If the settings from the page are then pulled through to the artefact
and some users need to go through moderation because they come from Page
A instead of Page B that should be OK as they are likely very different
user groups.

  Page comment moderation doesn't affect artefact comments

Bug description:
  Seen on mahara.org and tested on latest master (16.04).

  When you turn on comment moderation for a page, that moderation only
  goes for page comments but not artefact comments. Artefact comments
  should be treated the same in that regard as there is no separate
  moderation possibility. This loophole can be misused by anonymous
  people to post comments on an artefact that are immediately visible to
  everyone.
