Content on threads that are awaiting moderation should not be indexed by search engines. Return a 404 status code but allow administrators to moderate the content.
checking self.thread.num_replies seems to work well if a comment is deleted or flagged as spam. However it didn't work for me when the comment was still pending. I did this: allow *anonymous to POST, then as anonymous I created a new topic, then that page had status 200 but we'd want 404 then too
forgediscussion.tests.functional.test_forum.TestForum.test_anonymous_post needs to be updated to expect status 404. Maybe other tests too, after the above change
