Flow: Reply broken on hidden posts
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

Scenario:

  • Submit comment
  • Submit reply to comment
  • Hide original comment

Because that parent comment is hidden, it has no reply form.
Because the reply on that comment is at max threading level, it has no own reply form.

So it is currently impossible to respond to a reply on a post that has been hidden.

Either:

  • We don't want any replies on posts that are hidden or any of their children (we should make sure the reply-link doesn't show up then)
  • We still allow replies on hidden comments if they have unhidden children (those replies will be on the same nesting level as those children, so are actually a reply to a hidden post)

Suggestions?

I think we should still allow replies to hidden comments if they have unhidden children, yes :)
