Comments

Platforms: Old Reddit and New Reddit · Default: Enabled

The Comments module adds comment management tools and viewing enhancements to comment threads and moderation pages.

Overview

Comments improves the experience of reading and moderating comment threads. Most enhancements work on both platforms; some are old Reddit only.

Features

Context popup link — adds a link where appropriate to open the full comment context in an in-page popup, without leaving the current page.

Keyword highlighting — highlights any keywords you specify anywhere in comment text. Configure one keyword per line in the module settings.

Hide removed comments (old Reddit) — hides removed comments by default. They can be revealed individually.

Approve button on all comments (old Reddit) — shows an approve button on every comment, not just flagged ones.

Spam button on ham-removed comments (old Reddit) — shows a “spam” button on comments removed as ham, letting you re-remove them as spam.

Remove (not spam) on spam-removed comments (old Reddit) — shows a “remove” button on spam-removed comments, letting you convert the classification to a regular remove.

Hide old comments button (old Reddit) — adds a button to collapse comments older than a threshold, helping focus on recent activity.
