Aaron, the options you put on  bug #1567138 seem to complicate things
very much because you'll have to check in too many places whether for
comment moderation and have to make more choices. I'd suggest that when
artefact comments are allowed, they follow the same moderation
principles as the page itself. Only when artefact comments are not
allowed, nobody can comment no matter whether page comments are allowed
or not.

I often set artefact comments to "No" for decorative images or images
where I don't want any comments, e.g. a logo. Thus, the "No comments"
setting should be respected.

Of course, if we moderate comments on one page but not another, comments
could be placed directly, but that would be ok because some people would
be exempted from the moderation queue.

Title:
  Page comment moderation doesn't affect artefact comments

Status in Mahara:
  Confirmed

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.
