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>
<li>Save and you’re done</li>
</ol>
From now on all the comments that match at least one of the configurations in “Commenters”, “Users” or “Roles” will always be auto approved.

Add one Commenter per line, follow the example below:
<pre><code>tom@myface.com

tom@myface.com,www.myface.com,Tom
tom@myface.com,Tom,www.myface.com
