Perff on drugs.
But seriously, wasn't the explanation for the separation that the forum should be reserved for an extended/diverse discussion about a specific release, whilst the comment area should be mainly used for quick notes/remarks?
Well, neither is always used as intended, but that's another story.
Anyhow, thanks for fixing this issue, Perff! |

Geez, can't trusted user be allowed editing?
This is annoying! |

exactly, we need to revise our comment when better infos are found or delete when they're outdated. Let's hope Perff can come with a solution that would allow editing/deleting again, I know this is a temp solution. |

The problem is that comments are used in a way it was not supposed to.
Comments are one users thoughts of that entry, and should be able to stand alone.
Instead they are used as a discussion thread which was never the idea.
I think comments as they were originally intended should be both editable and deleteable, as one can change opinion about a entry.
But over the years I gave up fighting against how they are actually used (discussion), and right, here editing and deleting is not the way to go.
So...? :(
Quote from the page where you write comments: (which noone reads I guess)
"Please put only comments on the actual release here All further discussion belongs into the forum, and will be removed if postet here!" |

Simple fix. Just let the moderators moderate them. |

Perff, I get the idea, but it won't work.
Obviously people want to use it differently so better adjust the interface/website accordingly, or accept the consequences.
One way would be to make only one comment visible at a time, so you can't read them as a discussion anymore.
In order to have an idea about the comments, you can still display the user and date, just not the comment untill you click on it. And then that one will open, while the rest is closed. |

One comment per person per entry but editable otherwise auto suggestion to open/join forum topic to elaborate.
Check for quotation and/or @nickname call in this case flag user (anonymous msg. "too much booze", "need a professional help" etc. counter of 2-3 attempts equals account suspension for a week) and again auto suggestion to use forum.
Pips are childish sometimes so... let them be and act equally, there is no need to kick somebody out, because.
Feel like I'm 14 again here. |

are you volunteering to do it? how much time are you planning to spend on it per day?
and as someone else mentioned it - i am all for giving (more) selected users (more) additional rights. aka "userbits". given the current speed, it will get implemented 2019 =) |

maybe start with displaying exactly one comment on the entry, randomly (as done on many other similar sites, btw =P) |
| Previous - 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | ... | 15 | 16 - Next |
