Comments

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.

Reading comments

  • Open any wanted poster’s detail page.

  • 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).

Adding a comment

You must be signed in to comment.

  1. Open the wanted poster.

  2. Scroll to the Comments section.

  3. Type your message in the comment editor at the bottom.

  4. Click Send / Post comment.

  5. Your comment appears at the end of the thread immediately.

Editing a comment

You can edit comments you wrote.

  1. Find your comment.

  2. Click Edit.

  3. Change the text.

  4. Click Save to update, or Cancel to discard.

Edited comments may show an (edited) marker.

Deleting a comment

You can delete comments you wrote.

  1. Find your comment.

  2. Click Delete and confirm.

  3. 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:

  1. Click Report on the comment.

  2. Optionally enter a short reason.

  3. 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.
