# Comments Plugin

The **Comments** plugin enables a robust discussion system for your blog posts, pages, and other platform content. It features a modern interface with deep integration into the Pano user system.

## Configuration

Admins can fine-tune the discussion experience from the backend:

### Interaction Features

* **Replies Enabled:** Toggle whether users can reply to existing comments.
* **Likes Enabled:** allow users to "like" comments and replies.
* **Cooldown:** Set a mandatory wait time (in seconds) between consecutive comments to prevent spam.

### Permissions

* **Comment Permission:** Assign a specific node required to post comments.
* **Reply Permission:** Assign a specific node required to reply to comments.
  *(Leave empty to allow all registered users.)*

### Display & Interface

* **Input Style:** Choose between `MODAL` (pop-up editor) or `INLINE` (embedded form).
* **Pagination Type:** Select `PAGINATION` (numbered pages) or `LOAD MORE` for a modern scroll experience.

## Moderation & Management

Maintain a healthy community with built-in moderation tools accessible via the **Pano Admin Panel**:

* **Universal Management:** Navigate to **Panel → Posts → Comments** to view and manage all comments and replies across the platform.
* **Post-Specific Comments:** View and moderate comments directly within the **Panel → Posts → Post Detail** page of any specific post.
* **Highlighting & Sharing:** You can copy a specific comment's link to highlight it for other authorized moderators, making it easier to point out specific discussions that need attention.
* **User Integration:** See exactly who posted what with direct links to player profiles and avatars.
* **Cleanup:** Quickly delete inappropriate content directly from the management tables.
