Comments are the public conversation under a wanted poster. Use
them to ask a clarifying question, to add a small clue, or to
say something kind. For private one-on-one conversation use
Direct Messages instead.
Scroll to the Comments section below the post content.
Comments are listed in chronological order, oldest first.
The header shows how many comments the thread has and a link
back to the post when you scroll deep into a thread.
Each comment shows the author’s username, the time since posting
(“a few minutes ago”), the content, and the action buttons that
apply to it (Edit / Delete for your own; Report for everyone).
A wanted poster with its comments visible underneath.
The comment is soft-deleted — it disappears from the
public view immediately. Moderators can still see it.
Note
You can also see your own deleted comments in the
Show deleted comments view if it’s available on the post.
Moderators can restore comments through their own queue (see
Moderation).

Reporting a comment
If a comment crosses a line:
Click Report on the comment.
Optionally enter a short reason.
Click Flag comment.
The comment is queued for review by the moderation team. You won’t normally see the outcome — but you’ll know it’s been acted on. See Moderation.
Comment guidelines
Be polite. Even when disagreeing, keep it civil.
No identifying data. Don’t out the person the post is about. (“I think this is X from Instagram” — no.)
Stay on topic. The comment thread is for that wanted poster, not for general chat.
Use messages for private things. If you’d like to talk one-on-one, use Direct Messages.
Don’t spam. Repeated identical comments may be removed.
Best practices
Read the post — and the existing comments — before adding yours.
Add value: a clue, a kind word, a clarifying question.
Edit instead of replying with a correction to your own comment.
Keep comments tight and clear.
