Comment Delete
This module provides advanced options for deleting comments, including permanently removing them, moving replies to a higher level, or unpublishing them while keeping replies. It also allows administrators to set time limits for deletions and manage granular permissions for different comment types and fields.
Advanced comment deletion rules with threaded replies handler. Adds the hard delete, partial hard delete, and soft delete handlers. Hard delete is the default Drupal core behavior, both the comment and its replies are permanently deleted. Partial hard delete permanently deletes the original comment and moves its replies up one thread level. Soft delete either unpublishes or unsets field values on the original comment and keeps its replies. Use the time limit option to prevent users deleting comments after a configurable amount of time.
Permissions
A number of user role permissions are available both statically and dynamically. Each comment type and field has its own permission sets. In addition to static permission sets that apply across all comment types and fields. See the "Comment Delete" section on the user role permissions administration page.
