Public bug reported:

Anonymous comments are an easy target for spammers as they can just
leave a comment.

While portfolio authors receive an email notification about new
comments, if they don't have access to the email address anymore or
don't monitor their emails closely, a portfolio page can end up with
lots of spam comments.

It would be beneficial, if all anonymous comments that are placed
publicly went through a moderation explicitly rather than the page
author having to select to moderate comments.
