(Originally brought up at https://meta.codidact.com/comments/thread/3359#comment-11064)

Can we allow thread starters to edit the title of a comment? This could be useful in cases like, for example, https://codegolf.codidact.com/comments/thread/3417#comment-11178, where I originally was asking about the input format, but then edited to ask about both input and output formats, but could not change the title to reflect that.

The one concern mentioned in the thread was

On the other hand, the title is more of a "shared resource" and we don't yet have a visible audit trail.

Who "owns" a comment thread?
Lundin‭ wrote almost 3 years ago

As I read this, I start to wonder who "owns" a comment thread? The person who started it? What about deleting the whole thread? Sometimes you make a comment, then realize that you were wrong, or alternatively the post which the comment was about got changed so the comment got outdated. The same goes for whole comment threads. Now what if someone else posted a comment in the same thread? Could I still delete or rename it? Or do we have to bother a moderator to fix it?

Lundin‭ Currently, only moderator and user with curate privilege can do everything with thread (But, thread owner can't do anything...)
