qualifier token a chosen word

commenter role

In what capacity one comment was posted — a customer, the seller, the brand, the manufacturer, a moderator. A qualifier of the comment property; a filterable trust signal, so a token from the shared contributor-role vocabulary. A 'merchant reply' is simply a comment whose role is seller/brand/manufacturer/moderator — not a separate form.

Commenter role is answered with one word chosen from the contributor roles list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.

It is a qualifier of comment — it has meaning only inside a comment statement, one per statement, never on its own. It belongs with comment to social proof — what buyers and critics say about it.

It is answered inside every comment statement, not as a standalone question on a kind.
