That is a good point and a valid concern. The mentioned corner case is interesting and quite a clear indication that the Foundation/Project has a large interest to prevent in bulk modification of comments. > I hope GitLab has a time limit as to how far back posts can be edited, > to prevent this. Interesting, I doubt that such "archival" of posts is done though. If it is done, then I would say that the old precedence is fully applicable to such archived posts, and the rejection of requests is generally reasonable. Maybe one should discuss the idea of such a time limit with Gitlab? Benjamin
