Comment (by locksoft):

 Replying to [comment:5 mindctrl]:

 > I can see the value in your argument for allowing admins to exercise
 their user capabilities on comments by other users, but I don't have a
 complete picture in my head of what other impacts that might have, or if
 there is sufficient interest in changing the current behavior for the core
 team to take this on. Requesting a second opinion.

 Thanks for your answer Mindfctrl, even if it comes after three years. :)
 Being able to edit a comment from an administrator may be useful to
 correct errors inside them. Or to add an image if the original commenter
 wanted to insert one and it could be usefule to explain better something.
 Or just to better format a comment where, for example, someone tries to
 add an URL and he has to cut it in several parts so WP can't strip them
 out.
 I also understand it's not safe to let the user comment it after. My idea
 is, if admin edits it, the comment changes owner. Or else, the only thing
 an admin can do is delete the old message, create a new one and change the
 name and the email of te original poster. it's what I'm doing at the
 moment.
