# CommentModeration

class `praw.models.reddit.comment.``CommentModeration`(comment)

  Provide a set of functions pertaining to Comment moderation.

  Example usage:

      comment = reddit.comment('dkk4qjd')
      comment.mod.approve()

  `__init__`(comment)

    Create a CommentModeration instance.

    Parameters: | comment – The comment to moderate.

  `approve`()

    Approve a `Comment` or `Submission`.

    Approving a comment or submission reverts a removal, resets the report counter, adds a green check mark indicator (only visible to other moderators) on the website view, and sets the `approved_by` attribute to the authenticated user.

    Example usage:

        # approve a comment:
        comment = reddit.comment('dkk4qjd')
        comment.mod.approve()
        # approve a submission:
        submission = reddit.submission(id='5or86n')
        submission.mod.approve()

  `distinguish`(how='yes', sticky=False)

    Distinguish a `Comment` or `Submission`.

    Parameters:

    - how – One of ‘yes’, ‘no’, ‘admin’, ‘special’. ‘yes’ adds a moderator level distinguish. ‘no’ removes any distinction. ‘admin’ and ‘special’ require special user privileges to use.
    - sticky – Comment is stickied if True, placing it at the top of the comment page regardless of score. If thing is not a top-level comment, this parameter is silently ignored.

    Example usage:

        # distinguish and sticky a comment:
        comment = reddit.comment('dkk4qjd')
        comment.mod.distinguish(how='yes', sticky=True)
        # undistinguish a submission:
        submission = reddit.submission(id='5or86n')
        submission.mod.distinguish(how='no')

  `ignore_reports`()

    Ignore future reports on a Comment or Submission.

    Calling this method will prevent future reports on this Comment or Submission from both triggering notifications and appearing in the various moderation listings. The report count will still increment on the Comment or Submission.

    Example usage:

        # ignore future reports on a comment:
        comment = reddit.comment('dkk4qjd')
        comment.mod.ignore_reports()
        # ignore future reports on a submission
        submission = reddit.submission(id='5or86n')
        submission.mod.ignore_reports()

    See also `unignore_reports()`

  `remove`(spam=False)

    Remove a `Comment` or `Submission`.

    Parameters: | spam – When True, use the removal to help train the Subreddit’s spam filter (default: False).

    Example usage:

        # remove a comment and mark as spam:
        comment = reddit.comment('dkk4qjd')
        comment.mod.remove(spam=True)
        # remove a submission
        submission = reddit.submission(id='5or86n')
        submission.mod.remove()

  `send_removal_message`(message, title='ignored', type='public')

    Send a removal message for a Comment or Submission.

    Reddit adds human-readable information about the object to the message.

    Parameters:

    - type – One of ‘public’, ‘private’, ‘private_exposed’. ‘public’ leaves a stickied comment on the post. ‘private’ sends a Modmail message with hidden username. ‘private_exposed’ sends a Modmail message without hidden username.
    - title – The short reason given in the message. (Ignored if type is ‘public’.)
    - message – The body of the message.

    If `type` is ‘public’, the new `Comment` is returned.

  `undistinguish`()

    Remove mod, admin, or special distinguishing on object.

    Also unstickies the object if applicable.

    Example usage:

        # undistinguish a comment:
        comment = reddit.comment('dkk4qjd')
        comment.mod.undistinguish()
        # undistinguish a submission:
        submission = reddit.submission(id='5or86n')
        submission.mod.undistinguish()

    See also `distinguish()`

  `unignore_reports`()

    Resume receiving future reports on a Comment or Submission.

    Future reports on this Comment or Submission will cause notifications, and appear in the various moderation listings.
