"X comments" counter to only include visible comments

This post has been de-listed

It is no longer included in search results and normal feeds (front page, hot posts, subreddit posts, etc). It remains visible only via the author's post history.

Post Body

Currently, a post's comment count will include any deleted comments which are not visible to non-mods. On more heavily moderated subreddits such as /r/askscience, this leads to confusion for some, whilst for others it's just an invitation to write a stupid comment about how many comments are deleted - which then itself gets deleted, etc. etc. etc.

I suspect a similar thing happens when comments are collapsed - I recall some counts being noticeably off.

Hopefully changing the displayed values wouldn't break too much - I don't know if the count is important in any CSS or scripts/bots/apps.
