Plugin Description
This plugin masks comments so that a user can only see comments written by
himself or by an admin. Admins can see all comments.
This was written to make my trivia contests more interesting; by masking
the contents of comments from everyone but the person who wrote the comment
and admins (where “admin” = anyone with the ability to edit users), users
cannot copy answers from other users. This gives everyone a fair chance at
answering questions before the contest ends.
But, there is nothing in the plugin that is specific to trivia contests,
that’s just what I use it for.
How it works:
The Create Post page gets a “Make comments Semi-Private” option. This can be
turned on and off at any time. When a user visits a post with Semi-Priv
Comments turned on, the plugin compares the user’s current IP address with
that of each comment. If the IP addresses match, the comment is displayed as
usual. If the IP address doesn’t match, a substitute comment message is
displayed instead. The message text is configurable on the Admin pages, but
defaults to “This comment is hidden”.
You can also change the plugin to work off of WordPress user IDs, but that
only makes sense if all your visitors are registered on your blog.
