You can enable this mode in plugin properties
This mode hides old comments on a Publication. You can define the minimum number of comments to display with the "jcmsplugin.dbcomment.displayed-comment-count" property.
In the case of a Publication with comments before the last major update, these comments will be hidden, with a visual indication of the last major update, and the number of comments before it.
