As a mod, one of the things that I do is clean up comment discussions and diatribes on old posts. It makes the site more friendly, and to be honest gives me a warm fuzzy.
Is there a way as a moderator to identify posts with more than N comments?

1I'm assuming you want up-to-date, live on the site searches, otherwise I'd suggest the data explorer.– ChrisF ModCommented Jan 12, 2012 at 13:59

Isn't an automated flag issued if a question attracts too many comments?– Time Traveling BobbyCommented Jan 12, 2012 at 13:59

@ChrisF That would be best. Data explorer is ok, but it's hard to tell what's already been cleaned up.– C. RossCommented Jan 12, 2012 at 14:00

@Bobby That's only for really outlandish numbers of comments, more than ten I think.– C. RossCommented Jan 12, 2012 at 14:02

3On Stack Overflow the automated flag kicks in when a post gets more than 20 comments in 3 days. I don't know if it's the same on other sites.– Bill the Lizard ModCommented Jan 12, 2012 at 14:08

I wonder if you could do this with an API call? I'm not extremely familiar with the API, so I'm not sure.– Josh DarnellCommented Jan 12, 2012 at 14:45

Under the "Review" menu under "Tools" under "Stats" is a section where you can see the most commented posts on your site from the last 30 days. This isn't perfect, but its a good place to start.
Here is a link to it on RPG.SE.
