Require title for comment thread
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:<ol> <li>Limit comment thread title lengths to display in a single line. <li>Require a deliberate title whenever the comment body is longer than that allowed for a title. </ol>
