Soft comment deletion (ie. keep sublevel comments) about antville HOT 8 CLOSED

One possible solution: Mark the comment as deleted and render a skin instead of 
the 
content. Subcomments will be rendered normal.

I don't think it would be ideal to pretend the comments were deleted while 
actually
leaving the content in the DB, inaccessible to the authors, blogowners and 
sysadmins
(without direct access to the DB), deleting would be more honest.

Of course it would be fine if the note that the comment has been deleted could  
be
displayed in varied languages later on (depending on where i18n goes) as 
opposed to
writing the exact wording in every "soft deleted" comment.

Well, the contents would not have to be inaccessible for everyone, surely 
depends on 
who “deleted” the comment. It would provide the possibility to 
“undelete” a comment 
which could be helpful sometimes...

I presented the feature on my Antville blog now to get some opinions how people 
imagine it: http://tobi.antville.org/stories/1970561/

Of course the note about the “deleted” comment has to be internationalized
