This plugin is similar to Auto Shutdown but once installed and activated, the Auto Moderate plugin determines if a new comments or trackback should be moderated based on:

Compare today’s date with date of last comment
If no comments, compare today’s date with post’s modification date
If never modified, compare today’s date with writing date

The comment will then be accepted or sent to the moderation queue
