Auto Approve Comments?

[ZipCrash]

More of a general question than anything but is there a way to automatically approve comments. Or better yet to automatically approve comments from people in a certian usergroup. This would allow me to not have to constantly administrate comments and allow users to post instantly but wouldn't allow random guests to come in and spam on my forum. If there is a way to do this and I just missed it somewhere please let me know, if there isn't please move this thread to Feature Requests.

This is a permission setting under "Auto Approve Comments"

I do not see this setting at all. I got:

SMF Gallery:
 
View SMF Gallery    
Add Picture    
Edit own Picture    
Delete own Picture    
Leave Comments    
Report Pictures/Comments    
Auto Approve Pictures    
Admin Gallery    

Sorry if I'm being a moron but I am just not seeing it at all.

Happens if the lite edition was not unistalled or another old install of the lite edition was never removed.

Attach your Sources/ManagePermissions.php and I can fix it.

[ZipCrash]

Oh yea. Woops.  I didn't know to uninstall the lite before hand because I didn't check the forums before installing Pro. I appreciate you helping me out with it.

[SMFHacks]

Fixed file attached you have more permissions now.

[ZipCrash]

Thanks alot man I appreciate it!

Hmmm sorry to be a pain but could you do the same for myself. I did uninstall the lite edition prior to installing pro but have the same problem. Thanks in anticipation

Ok thanks. That has given me two additional tick boxes under Report Pictures/Comments  and Auto Approve Pictures but no corresponding descriptions, is that right?    

Ahh just noticed it has put an additional box under All  my choices under permissions but no descriptions
