On the developers blog, when you post a comment, a message appears:
Thanks for your comment. Your comment will now be reviewed before being posted to the site.


I always get shocked, as the comment is posted automatically.

If you mean dev.joomla.org, than the posts are reviewed before being posted. If all comments were posted, it would be spam infested (almost 80% of all comments is pure spam).

perhaps you are allowed to post comments without review due to membership in a specific user group within the site's structure?

I know on my main site, all Team Members have the ability to bypass many of the checks that public, and even registered members are held to.

I don't think so! The dev site has no idea who am I. I haven't authenticated in any way.

All comments are reviewed on the fly using Akismet. Some are bocked for manual approval and others, we use Akismet to auto-approve.

Hope it makes sense.
