The merge comments module provides the option of automatically merging two consecutive comments made by the same user in the same node. If enabled this can eliminate accidental double posts as well as serve as a last ditch measure against flooding.
You can decide under which conditions the comments will be merged, what format the newly merged comment will have and which users can disable the merge comments module from merging a specific comment.
More specifically you can:
- Specify on which content types comments should be merged.
- Set a maximum time limit between two comments that should be merged (so that you don't merge comments made a month apart).
- Set a maximum character limit (so that you don't get a merged comment that is too long).
- Specify exactly how the merged comment should look, through the use of tokens.
- Give users the 'Disable merge_comments' permission. This will give them a checkbox on their comment submission form so that they can disable the merging of that specific comment.
Additionally, this module will take into account your comment hierarchy. So, if you have threaded comments enabled, they will be merged only if they have the same parent, or if a user is replying to his own comment.
