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.

This plugin was developed to meet a specific need: an organisation had members and non-members logging into 
the blogs. The requirement called for members to be able to comment without needing administrator approval. 
Non-members needed to get their comments approved before they were displayed.
So long as users are created with the correct role (e.g. “members” and “nonmembers” in this case) this 
plugin allows you to add the “Role Approved Comments” capability to any of those roles. If the role a 
user is in has that capability, then their comments will automatically be approved.
There is no administration screen for this plugin. You must use the 
<a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/capsman/" rel="ugc">capsman</a> plugin to manage the capability. The capability 
will appear as “Role approved comment”.
This plugin does not affect any other rules you have set for approvals. For example, if comments are set 
to be auto-approved once a user has already got one approved comment through the system, then their 
subsequent comments will be approved regardless of the capability setting.
