Adds lots of features to make commenting easier and more engaging. Description ----------- [](#description) This plugin adds many small improvements around core WordPress comments to make them more bearable: - Cleaner comment notification emails. - The option to enforce a comment policy. - The option to forward comments to an email address (for instance for your support team) and then trash them. - The option to disallow comments below a certain length. - The option to redirect first time commenters to a "thank you" page. - An input field on the comment edit screen to change the comment parent ID. - Links in the admin comments section to email individual commenters. - A button in the WP toolbar to email all the commenters on a post.
