Require title for comment thread

+6
−6

The title of a comment thread currently defaults to the start of the comment text. That has lead to a lot of partial-sentence comments visible below a post without comments expanded. Those look messy and are annoying, since you often can't tell at a glance what the comment is about. These titles can wrap to at least two lines, then get cut off anyway. That is even more messy.

I suggest that we:

  1. Limit comment thread title lengths to display in a single line.
  2. Require a deliberate title whenever the comment body is longer than that allowed for a title.

I would agree that obligating a title in a single line is better than the current situation.

"Comment by USER" with a date and time under it might be better than just letting a user to compose a title.
