Highlight comments with a background color in the WordPress Comments Admin pages. Choose the criteria for highlighting a comment, add a note to show it with, and pick the highlight color.
This plugin is “for internal use” and only highlights comments within the WordPress Comments admin. The typical use case for this plugin is to inform/remind users about what to do for a particular type of comment. Examples:
<ul>
<li>
Comments from John Doe – Always approve unless it’s about topic XYZ
</li>
<li>
Comments from IP 12.34.56.78 – Give a personal, non-standard response to these comments
</li>
</ul>
You can highlight a comment based on the contents of the commentor’s name, email, or IP address.

Auto approve comments by Commenter (email, name, url), User and Role (Akismet and wpDiscuz compatible).
Usage
<ol>
<li>Open Comments -> Auto Approve Comments</li>
<li>Go to Settings -> Discussion and check “Comment must be manually approved” </li>
<li>Optionally install and activate Akismet (comments flagged as SPAM will never get auto approved) </li>
<li>Configure your auto approval filters in “Commenters”, “Users” and “Roles”</li>

From now on all the comments that match at least one of the configurations in “Commenters”, “Users” or “Roles” will always be auto approved.
