Admins can see all comments.<\/p>\n\n<p>This was written to make my trivia contests more interesting; by masking \nthe contents of comments from everyone but the person who wrote the comment \nand admins (where \"admin\" = anyone with the ability to edit users), users \ncannot copy answers from other users. This gives everyone a fair chance at \nanswering questions before the contest ends.<\/p>\n\n<p>But, there is nothing in the plugin that is specific to trivia contests, \nthat's just what I use it for.<\/p>\n\n<p>How it works:\nThe Create Post page gets a \"Make comments Semi-Private\" option. This can be \nturned on and off at any time. When a user visits a post with Semi-Priv \nComments turned on, the plugin compares the user's current IP address with \nthat of each comment. If the IP addresses match, the comment is displayed as \nusual. If the IP address doesn't match, a substitute comment message is \ndisplayed instead. The message text is configurable on the Admin pages, but \ndefaults to \"This comment is hidden\".<\/p>\n\n<p>You can also change the plugin to work off of WordPress user IDs, but that \nonly makes sense if all your visitors are registered on your blog.<\/p>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload <code>semiprivate_comments.php<\/code> to the <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n<li>Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n<li>Optionally, change the \"comment hidden\" text in the Admin settings page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt>Does this work with previous version of WP?<\/dt>\n<dd><p>I don't know, I've never tried.
