It is a pain when WordPress needs the ‘edit_posts’ role when you JUST need the Comments SubPanel. Which makes it hard if you want to assign somebody as a simple Comments Moderator.
This plugin will create a special user role called “Comments Moderator” that you can use to create any user account with. They will have access to the Comments SubPanel and all its functions, but nothing else 🙂

Mindvalley Comments Moderator

Create a custom role that enables only Comment Moderation actions and pages.

This is how you moderate comments with WordPress this far: First you receive an email from WordPress notifying about a new comment (whoohoo!) Eagerly, you click the “Approve it” link. A new tab opens with a form asking you to log into the administrator area. You input the username and that long long password, click “Log Me In.” There, you are welcomed with a silly “Are you sure?” confirmation message and two buttons: “Yes I’m sooooo sure” and “No I’m not sure at all, my $200 mouse was just malfunctioning.”
Ever felt that it’s a little too much? Well, if you are that lazy (just like I am), then Lazy Moderator is just for you! Now the notification email will be appended with real “one-click” links to help you moderate the comment with just, well, one click. Yes, one click and it’s done. No login. No confirmation. No hassles. No shit.
