Hi, I don't know if it's normal but some users are abusing the replies.. how can I avoid users replying to their own comments?

Hi,
Use this hook code:Â
add_action("wpdiscuz_before_wp_new_comment", function ($commentdata) {
if (!empty($commentdata["user_id"]) && !empty($commentdata["comment_parent"])) {
$parent_comment = get_comment($commentdata["comment_parent"]);
if ($parent_comment instanceof WP_Comment) {
$parent_comment_user_id = (int)$parent_comment->user_id;
$comment_user_id = (int)$commentdata["user_id"];
if ($parent_comment_user_id === $comment_user_id) {
wp_die(esc_html__("You can not reply to own comment!", "wpdiscuz"));
}
}
}
});
