Helpful P2 comment settings

gistfile1.php

<?php

/**
 * Permit anyone to post HTML in the comments
 * Because ThunderP2 is only accessible by qualified users,
 * this is just fine.
 */
add_action( 'init', function() {
	remove_filter( 'pre_comment_content', 'wp_filter_kses' );
	add_filter( 'pre_comment_content', 'wp_filter_post_kses' );
}, 11 );

/**
 * Improve comment settings:
 * - Turn off moderation
 * - Don't require new authors to have one approved comment
 */
add_filter( 'pre_option_comment_moderation', '__return_false' );
add_filter( 'pre_option_comment_whitelist', '__return_false' );

I added:

add_filter( 'pre_option_default_pingback_flag', '__return_zero' );
add_filter( 'pre_option_default_ping_status', '__return_zero' );

The pre_option_ filters are skipped if the return value === false, so zero seems safer.

Dammit. Good catch.
