Comment:

 So my thoughts on comment:8.

 So when you associate a post with another admin, you're preserving content
 in terms of if you make pages for a website, generally speaking those
 pages could be non-personal associated. For example, if I make an about
 page, and delete the user who made that, I might want to associate that
 with another user because the About Page is something that doesn't really
 depend on who wrote it.

 However, comments are different. They're inherently reflective of the
 individual who wrote them.

 For that reason, associating comments with another user doesn't make a lot
 of sense.

 However if that's something we want to add, it should be handled on a new
 ticket, because it gets away from the bug that this ticket is reporting.
 It could also be easily handled by a plugin
