Talk:SoC improving comments 2008

Editing comments

• "A comment should only be editable as long as there hasn't been a follow-up comment."
• "There should probably be a time-limit for how long the comment should be editable."

I think you should save up time and effort and instead simply force a "This comment was updated in X" line (BTW, I think the same should be done to stories and forum posts).

Format of comments

There are still standing patches regarding comments which I see no reason not to apply already. For example, nested comments are hardcoded to the left (which can be so easily solved) and there really should be a line break between the "authored by" line and the comment itself. Anyway, it's all in the patches.
