> I suppose the issue being raised is that the moderation comment is visible to readers as a reply to the latest (at the time it was posted) comment in the thread. This could give the impression that the latest post was primarily responsible for the moderation comment.
If this is the issue, perhaps it can be improved with a UI change? E.g.:
Instead of the moderation comment being a regular comment in the thread that went into the weeds, the UI could instead collapse that thread, and display the moderation comment on top. The user could still be able to click through the overlay and expand the thread to see it.
Of course, a reasonable argument can be made that there are better things to do with the limited resources available to develop the website UI.
