Comment (by locksoft):

 It’s ok this limit for normal users. But sometimes, I may have the need to
 edit some comment and add more stuff, like for example an image or so. I
 think a comment should allow an administrator to edit it without any limit
 (in case, even locking out the original poster to edit it, as they lost
 the ownership).
 As it’s now, if I need to do something like that, I have to create a new
 comment myself and then copy and paste the text from the original one;
 then manually change the user and email fields (and the op is locked out
 anyway from editing it).
 What I need is that:

 1) a normal comment’s ownership is automatically changed when an
 administrator edits it or
 2) have a checkbox or so to assign the comment ownership to an
 administrator, in case of need.

 I hope it’s clear what I mean. :)
