Ability to unscreen my comments by default

Title:
Ability to unscreen my comments by default

Area:
comments

Summary:
Adding a way to only screen other people's comments but leave the journal owners unscreened. (This used to be the default)

Description:
I understand why some people find the new "screen all comments" functionality useful, but I find it incredibly frustrating having to manually unscreen all my comments (if I didn't want the comment to exist, I wouldn't post it) If there's some way to set all my own comments to stay unscreened I can't find it.

The fact that I get taken to a "do you really want to unscreen this?" page makes it even more annoying, but <a href="http://dw-suggestions.dreamwidth.org/138032.html">that's already been brought up</a>.

Suggested fix: Add "all comments but mine" as an option to the "comment screening" menu in posts and Settings.

Downsides: makes the list longer. Personally I would be ok with this. If it's too unwieldy for posts I'd at least like it as an option in the "settings" menu.

I also miss the "unscreen automatically when replying" feature but not as much.

Allow selecting icon when using another account

Title:
Allow selecting icon when using another account

Area:
multiple accounts

Summary:
Allowing you to use icons by typing in keywords manually when you're logged in as one account and commenting with another.

Description:
If you hit reply on an entry when you're logged in, then click "More options", there's an "Other" link to allow you to comment with a different account while staying logged in as your main account. However, if you do that, it still shows "Icon to use" with the icons from your main account. I'd like to be able to pick an icon from the account I'm using to comment. Obviously it can't pull the list very easily, because that would need an extra refresh once you'd typed in the account name, but if you click other, could it be made at least a box you can type in rather than a drop-down, so I can type in the keywords I can memorise?

Private Message a Community to Contact Its Moderators

Title:
Private Message a Community to Contact Its Moderators

Area:
community administration, private messaging

Summary:
Allow users to private message a community account, and copy the pm to the administrators of the community.

Description:
Community administrators use several different hacks to allow members or non-members to contact the entire admin team: page-a-mod entries, private mailing lists, collective google accounts.

If communities had inboxes to which community admins had access, there would be a standard way for non-admins to contact the admins, and a way for the admins to communicate among themselves. This address would be automatically up to date as to who had administrative rights and who didn't, as outside mailing lists don't, and shared e-mail addresses can't.

I anticipate that the admins would be able to turn off the private message function completely, as is done for personal journals, and that anyone who was made administrator but had already rejected all personal private messages would still not receive copies of the community PMs, although they could, on the website, check the inbox.
