Even threaded, asking two or more clarification questions in one comment can be frustrating (and a miscommunication bias) for an OP, especially if the OP doesn't speak English as a native language and even more so if the OP is feeling "haunted".Since the community can't really control how many clarification questions are being written in a thread, I suggest to consider these options:- * Printing a small hint like *We suggest to ask just one clarification question per thread*
- * Asking the commenter `Is your comment a question?` and if the commenter hits "yes" than a the question would be inserted under a `What is your clarification question?` title with a button labeled `Ask another clarification question` appearing under the question for a case of need, similar to "add another file" button after uploading an image to a local file tree
