When doing moderation work it’s really helpful to put a user’s flagged content into the greater context of their overall iNat content, since other violations may not be flagged. In general it’s fairly straightforward to search through someone’s IDs and observations but not their comments, so we’ve a…

When looking at comments for a person who hasn’t made any, the page is a little strange. Wouldn’t hurt to add “none found”. [Inkeda9ed52dad422cce94e912b41174e8ec8d53dc233_LI]

this is neat! i hope it doesn’t become grounds for a bunch of drama as the pool of curators is so large, but overall i think it will be really useful. I peeked at Ken-Ichis and was tempted to make a comment on his moderator history but did not :D

Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this for so long!

Does this only bring up standalone comments? Because it seems like comments that are attached to IDs do not show up. Would be great if all comments showed up but this is still very useful nonetheless

Comments with IDs are not technically considered comments, so I’m not sure if they would be included or not.

I see. They essentially serve the same purpose as a standalone comment tho (to provide further information/substantiation) so i don’t see why they shouldn’t be treated the same way

I know, and it bothers me, but I don’t think there are plans to change the way they are treated any time soon. Mainly what annoys me is that since I have confirming IDs turned off, any useful information contained in an ID-comment slips by and I never know it’s there. Even a non-confirming ID somet…

It shouldn’t be extremely difficult to code that, from a logistical standpoint. Just add a check while searching the user’s identifications (however they have that set up) to see if an identification has a comment attached. If yes, include that in the comments page. I don’t know exactly how this wou…

Staff previously decided not to move forward with that feature request: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/include-identification-comments-in-total-of-comments-comment-search-etc/1563

I think someone trying to count Gerald’s comments did something like that, since we were considering ID-comments to be “comments” for count purposes. It worked all right, except that whatever code they were using read ID-comments and automatically-attached messages (like “user_x disagrees this is sp…
