Comments

Every post has comments under the image. Anyone with the Comment permission (members, by default) can write one; they use the same formatting as the wiki, including [quote] blocks and comment #45 links. Reply starts a new comment quoting the one you’re answering. The newest 50 comments are shown on the post; the rest are a link away.

You can edit and delete your own comments; edited ones say so. Deleting a post’s last comment takes it out of order:comment. Deleted posts can’t be commented on, and comments are rate limited: a few at once, then one every 20 seconds.

Tick Don’t bump the post to comment without moving the post up in order:comment_bumped; it still counts for order:comment. Moderators can Pin to top a comment, which then comes first among the post’s comments.

Comments in the menu lists the newest comments on the whole site, beside their posts; each profile links to that user’s comments.

Votes and reports

Vote comments up or down with the arrows (not your own). Comments voted down to −5 or lower are folded away, a click from being read.

Report asks the moderators to look at a comment; they can hide it, restore it later, or dismiss the report. See Moderation.
