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.

The plugin allows you to reduce the load on a moderator of your site. Pre-moderation of comments available for you: new comments added by users through the standard WordPress comment field, will be sent for review to network of moderators. Post-moderation of comments is also possible: this means that any user can send any violating comment from the comment feed for review to the network. Based on the results of this review, the comment status will be set to Approved or Spam.

<h3>Terms of Use</h3>
<ul>
<li>
In the course of its work, the plugin sends a user comment for verification to network of moderators, and also receives the result of verification through <a href="https://moderate-it.net/en/connect.php" rel="nofollow ugc">ModerateIt Net API</a>.
</li>
<li>
The network of moderators works on the following principle: 
In short: A user checks a some comment, other users check his comment or comment selected by the user. 
More: With pre-moderation, when a site is connected to the network of moderators, and a user adding a comment to this site, before that him it is proposed to evaluate for violations several comments received from the network. Among them there is comment, the evaluation of which is not yet known. And there are also comments whose network evaluations are known, and by which the network evaluates the objectivity of the user. A biased user is not allowed to add a comment. After an objective evaluation, the user can add his comment, which also can be sent to the network for verification. Post-moderation of comments working on the same principle. A user can pass any comment to the network for check. Of course, after checking the comments of others.
</li>
<li>
Users data transferred to the network of moderators is not disclosed.
Read the terms of the <a href="https://moderate-it.net/en/agreement.php" rel="nofollow ugc">User Agreement</a> in more detail.
</li>
<li>By default, the plugin joins the network with a free public API key. For permanent work, we recommend getting <a href="https://moderate-it.net/en/start.php" rel="nofollow ugc">a free personal API key</a> for your site (access to basic statistics and increased load limits). With the free personal API key you can use the network in order that users post only comments that contain useful information about the topic of discussion! Also a <a href="https://moderate-it.net/en/rise.php" rel="nofollow ugc">paid personal API key</a> will allow you to receive additional features: such as extended rule set for post-moderation.</li>
