 Maybe it’s worth considering a new approach to comments on WordPress? It’s
 about the tree – the rooting of comments. Currently it may be level 10.
 And later there is no reply button – because they usually get narrower.

 Or maybe it’s worth ending this rooting and switching to something – where
 every statement will be treated as a response. Completely without roots
 and their depth – which has been causing problems in long conversations
 for years.

 Maybe it would be worth creating it like on the forums – i.e. on a
 completely different system, without this limitation. Isn’t it worth
 thinking about?

 Sometimes conversations are long and it’s a real pain to keep talking to
 anyone on WordPress. Because – either they are becoming narrower – or the
 comment ends after the 10th comment – because it cannot be moved as a
 child.

 It is probably worth changing it to some other approach, more known from
 forums – where the number of comments and conversations as – answer to
 answer does not matter how many of them there are.
