 * Hello guys,
 * is it possible to define a custom comment type? i need to add rows to the _wp\
   _comments_ table, but i don’t want those comments to appear in the Comments Box.
   Basically the same of when you add a post where type is not `page,post,link` 
   and it doesn’t show in the Posts Box.
 * For posts, you just need to use a different `post_type`, and for comments? What
   is `comment_type`? How to add comments but hide them from the Comments Box? I
   don’t want to mix my custom comments with the others..
 * Thanks in advance..

 * No i couldn’t figure it out. For those comments i use instead another new post_type,
   and then i create a box for it.
    It’s a trick, not the solution i wanted but 
   it works..

 * Hi [@stesvis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stesvis/) – I just wanted to
   follow up about customizing the comments and adding data to them. I asked the
   question on Stack Overflow and got a great answer. Just don’t make the same mistake
   as I did, and post your questions to the right forum 😉
