I know a few have discussed this before and I've always wondered why is there both comments and forum threads. Delete the ability to post comments on the entries. Move all discussion to one place - the forums. I'm guessing this will make moderating simpler, but still not a piece of cake for the moderators. The ability to post summaries, production notes, etc. should remain with the entries though.

Your perfect vision of the comments will never come to pass Perff.

Also, displaying one comment and other silly ideas. Isn't that similar to how the comments worked years ago and lots of complaints made the change to display all of them at once?

Just kill the entry comments and move all discussion to the forum. Time to make a decision

Quote: 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.


EDIT:
... let them be and act accordingly not equally, there is no need to kick somebody out, because...
END OF EDIT.

that is why.

Edt of an edit:
chang'e 3 well done :)

As I don't have anonymous votes and haven't given a shit about voting on this site in quite a while - idea declined. ;)

No editing comments, no problem. Just be sure to spellcheck before you post comment.

Any notes related to the production could be put in... wait for it... the Production Note area. So that part could stay editable.

Anyhow, considering the mess people do in the comments section won't be cured solely by this, just look at Pouet, with no ability to edit or delete comments there either.

So what about last-comment-only editing?

I would really like to enable "LAST COMMENT"!

problem with that, that it's not displayed by default. all type of comments should be displayed at once (and there are too many types to begin with).

my 2 cents on commenting: only allow one comment, with editing, that'll stop the threadisation. not that it bothers me or anyone at all. I think its pointless to enforce a rule that noone really wants.

Maybe some red highlighted text above the edit boxes may help to guide users to use comments the way they are meant to be used.

OR: Offer a link to open a forum thread if someone tries to add more than one comment to the same release with the note that comments are not meant for discussing the release.
"Your are trying to comment on this release more than once. Comments are not made for discussion! Would you like to open a forum thread instead? YES/NO"
