It works perfectly.
By 
It installed well and turns html tags into plain text, so I love it, and it's compatible up to the latest version. I don't know what version I have because I am not shown that, only "get version 4.8.2," so who knows. I do wish it would remove the encouraging text next to the comment box that says "Hey! You can use < strong > < em > blahblah and all kinds of < blockquote >," because I don't want people entering anything weird into the comment box, the text is way too much and it didn't look good, but I fixed with css, since there's no other way to easily fix it without tampering with core files or making a new child theme.
It works

Simple plugin to strip out the HTML in comments without editing the core files. It does just that.
Updating August 2019.
It still works (with the current version of WP).
