SIGH
Soooo apparently LJ is now set by default to screen "non-friend comments with links". At least, mine was. If you'd like to change this, you can go here to do so: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/?cat=privacy
On the bright(er) side, it's actually kind of nice to have that option if you get a lot of spam. On the not-so-bright side, it seems to be mutually exclusive with other comment screening settings; I'm pretty sure I used to have mine set to screen anonymous comments due to spammers and trolls (at least, I don't remember changing that), and now it's screening non-friend comments instead, which is ... not the same!
