Why is editing/deleting old comments enabled?

Noticed a few times when deletion/editing of old comments resulted quite funny/annoying/baffling comment-threads.
Is there a special reason for this being enabled?

Damn it! Seems I'm now cursed with people expecting cartoons from me even if I have a serious problem.
No guys, not that funny. I'd really want to see a solution :)

How many comments were removed here?
I'm guessing a couple, so parts of the discussion are hard to follow.

I'd like to *bump* this again, would prefer to see the the edit function of comments disapear in total.

But could it atleast be possible to mark edited or deleted comments so that a reader who didn't follow a discussion live atleast knows what is happening?

For example

** post has been edited 01-JUL-2009 13:43

or

** post deleted by poster 01-JUL-2009 13:43

?

first of all: comments!=forum posts. this thread is about comments, not forum posts. forum posts can not be edited at all. (not by users anyways, the evil moderator nazis can do it ofcourse)

exactly one, and it only contained a bunch of silly pictures. if you think the discussion is "hard to follow" - it's probably because it is full of crap =P

you seem to be mixing up forum posts and comments again....

we had this crap in the forum a while back, and it was removed, because it only stirs the shit even more, and clutters the thread with pointless messages, making it no less hard to read than without the crap posts removed.

as for comments, you said it above. i'd rather see the edit function removed completely.

for the comments? completely useless and pointless, IMHO. we have something like that internally for other stuff (database entries).... the only use i see for this in comments is - stirring the shit. no.

Groepaz: It makes it easier to follow comments if some information is there to say what happened, at least it would be a start.
