This is currently behavior that is hardcoded into the scripts. To change this
you will have to edit comments.pl and rewrite the logic therein to make it so
that a user can post AND moderate in the same story. Now that I think about
it, it should be a relatively simple change: In comments.pl, look on or about
line 479, it should read:

	undoModeration($form->{sid});

You can either remove the line or comment it out. This will allow all users
to moderate and comment on a story.

In the future, when we revise the seclev system (preferably to ACLs), then
there will be ACLs to control this behavior.
