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? |

well, we're only human after all ;)
Quote:i think part of the problem is how comments are presented. right now there is little difference between a forum thread and the comments, which not surprisingly leads to comments beeing used similar. one way to transform comments more into something like wreg said (and i think so too) could be to only display one comment at a time, randomly.
as long as there's a view all comments button as well ;)
also, if this gets implemented, I would like to pull the releasethread from the forum a bit closer to the release, by for example showing the initial post of the thread (or the first 10 words of the post) at the bottom of the releasepage.
I agree that part of the problem is indeed presentation at the moment. Even though I still don't really think there's a real problem. |

Quote: hein: thats exactly my argument too. if you changed your opinion, just say so. there is nothing wrong with it. quite the contrary, it could even be quite interisting to see how and why people changed their view on a certain release over time.
I'll second that opinion. editing previous statements, especially after seeing 20 replies to a remark is annoying as hell, not to mention confusing.
I thought the same for closed/removed threads too, but changed my mind on that after reading some words from Creamd and Groepaz in the past and have to admit it simply calms down most of the stressheads on this database ;)
So there.. I rarely change my mind, being an arrogant and stubborn ass, but when I do myself I'll simply state it. (besides I cant be bothered to find the thread I bitched about closing threads either.. hehe)
Leave change it to edit open until someone posted a comment after your comment, that should leave enough room to remove typohs etc. and add changes can be added in a new comment.

Or what about displaying ALL comments in random order? That would be an awesome experience in some cases! :D

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
