Feature Request: Comment Moderation UI

[indysigner]

Hey team, we really should integrate managing comments from within the CMS.

The way WordPress allows to moderate comments is ideal, where comments are ordered in a chronological way. What's more, having the following options for every comment would be a minimum requirement to manage comments in a proper way (there's more below).

Unapprove \ Edit \ Spam \ Delete

In a perfect world, we have all of the following options:

• Ordering comments in a chronological way
• Show the options Unapprove \ Edit \ Spam \ Delete beneath all comments,
• Add a checkbox beside all comments
• Provide bulk actions to trash or spam multiple comments at once
• Show the commentator's IP address and email addresses
• Add a search field so that we can search for certain keywords or links, IP addresses, email addresses,
• There should also be an input field through which we can define which keywords, email addresses or URLs need to be to automatically blacklisted (that will automatically be deleted)
• Comments that contain at least one link should be pending by default so that they won't show up unless we have them approved manually
• If we want to be really cool, we could also whitelist links to certain websites e.g. such Codepen.io, Medium.com, css-tricks, netlify.com, youname.it

What kind of backend is going to be used for comments, or is that still up for discussion?

Depending on where comments are stored, we would need a provider integration, and probably a new collection type that can handle comments in an ideal manner (they don't open, just an actionable list, for example), but that is abstract enough to capture a distinct class of use cases.
