Recently a moderator has been cleaning up comments, and ended up changing the whole comment (accidentally) Discussions will be that alternative. It is the best option for the future, since Discussions is expected to see a lot of development & eventually become an all-encompassing social feature, so having everything already in one place is the best route. It is also automatically broadcasted in the area where Comments once were, so it is by far the most simplest alternative. Regarding logs; we can see when Mods have edited posts, & which mods they were, so while a bit unwieldy for the Mod team to track people down, we can ensure that transparency is present. We are willing to pay that price for Discussions usage due to how much easier, comparatively, it is to moderate than Comments & for the reasons I already outlined. Talk pages will also be present as a secondary alternative, but Discussions is the main replacement.
