Admin Can Always Comment

I use this on CSS-Tricks for the obvious reasons. I close comments after a certain amount of time, but as an admin, I want to be able to leave comments whenever I want to. 

Works Great with 4.9.6

This plugin allows an admin user to add comments even if the comment thread is closed.
