Comments displayed in User > Activity don't match the filters #104

I generate a user list using the filters. I select a User in that list. I click "Activity" - and it shows me all of their comments, not only the comments from that filter.

I guess this is a product decision. Do we want mods to see that commenters are possibly duplicitous? Maybe someone is a good commenter in crosswords but a frothing moron in politics?

Currently the architecture of the app is that you search for users that have certain stats about their comments, and then return a list of users. You click on a user, and then you see all of their comments, ever.

maybe we could highlight comments from the selected user that fit the criteria of the comment search?

There would have to be a different set of filters to apply to the comments really. The filters pertain to data about the users, not directly about the comments themselves.

I can see the importance of limiting the stats in the user cards and the comments that come back by default. If, for example, an author is interested in activity under their articles, they should just see the stats and content that happens under their articles.

To make this work, however, will require a look at UX/design to make sure that the lists/partial stats that are seen are clearly associated with a certain dimension (Section/author.)

I'm going to re-write this issue as an Enhancement and we can start a discussion to collect updated designs, specs, and tech solutions.
