Comment (by azaozz):

 Thinking that individual comments containing personal data can be handled
 directly. The commenter can contact the admin and ask a comment to be
 edited or deleted. Then the admin can use the email
 verification/confirmation.

 Was mostly thinking to give the site owners the option to also delete the
 comments completely. In that case we may have to keep comments that have
 child comments. Currently when a comment parent is deleted we hide all
 children.

 On the other hand the current behavior also makes sense. Yes, child
 comments are not displayed, but if they were, they will probably be out of
 context.

 This also can be fixed when displaying the comments. Maybe we should leave
 it as-is for now :)
