Tell HN: Pending comments are now per thread (and off by default)
For those who missed the change of plan:<p><pre><code>  pg 4 days ago | link | parent | flag

  Pending comments are now per thread, or more  
  precisely per item tree, rather than sitewide. 
  That was the original plan, and it turned out to 
  be only a little more code. The moderator (who 
  is not me) will turn pending comments on as 
  needed when conversations turn nasty.

  That doesn&#x27;t happen on most threads, but it does 
  happen on some, and pending comments may help 
  fix the problem. I&#x27;m not sure it will. The 
  moderator will have to experiment to see what 
  works. But since the code was slightly 
  complicated I wanted at least to get the initial 
  version done before I left.
