dw_suggestions | Show screening status of collapsed comments

Title:
Show screening status of collapsed comments

Area:
entries: comments, community administration

Summary:
Show a collapsed comment's screened status along with the username, comment title, and expand link.

Description:
If you can see a comment that's been collapsed, if it's screened, this should be visible along with the username and comment title.

This is mostly as a moderation tool for journal owners and community administrators, so they do not have to expand comments or load threads in order to make sure that any given comment is screened/unscreened(visible).

Since it would be silly to say "visible" on tiers of collapsed comments, I propose that screened comments say "Screened" and visible comments say nothing.

This could potentially cause a certain amount of drama if a person were to load a page and see that their own contributions to a collapsed thread were screened, but that is something they could have found out by loading/expanding that collapsed thread anyway.

Any slight increase in server overhead should be mitigated by people not having to load/expand that particular thread merely to check that its comments are screened/unscreened as appropriate.

This could also be useful for frozen threads, if they're not already visible like that.
