Auto approved comments

[Menrath]

Quick summary

Shouldn't the comment_previously_approved option only affect previosly approved normal comments. The query used to determine the state

$ok_to_comment = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT comment_approved FROM $wpdb->comments WHERE comment_author = %s AND comment_author_url = %s and comment_approved = '1' LIMIT 1", $author, $author_url ) );

does not check to the comment_type.

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable auto approve Likes.
2. Create post.
3. Like post from remote actor.
4. Reply-Comment from remote actor.
5. The reply is automatically approved.

Do you fear that it will allow users to bypass the check by sending likes first!?
