Hello Support Team,
I am experiencing an issue with how the comment hierarchy behaves after deleting a specific comment (e.g., spam or troll).
The Problem: When a comment is deleted, the replies attached to it are being incorrectly re-assigned to the comment immediately above it (the grandparent), rather than remaining as a reply to a "deleted user" or maintaining their context. This confuses the conversation flow.
Example: Original structure:
-
User A (Root comment) — 2. User B (Troll/Spam) [Reply to User A] —— 3. User C (Replying to User B)
Action: I delete the comment by User B.
Current (Incorrect) Result:
-
User A — 3. User C [Now shows as a direct reply to User A]
Why this is bad: User C was arguing with the Troll (User B). After deletion, it looks like User C is arguing with User A, which changes the context completely.
Expected Behavior: Previously, or normally, the reply should stay nested or show that it was a reply to a deleted participant, without shifting the parent ID to the previous commentator.
Could you please advise if there is a setting to disable this "auto-reparenting" of comments, or if this is a bug in the current version?
Thank you.
