Those who frequently make or read comments on Sankaku Complex may be interested to learn of two new additions to the site’s commenting functionality, in the form of comment editing and deletion, and an expansion of the comment rating system to include comprehensive rankings and statistics.
Firstly, logged in users who comment can now edit their own posts by way of the “Edit” link in the comment in question, though a time limit applies as this is not intended as a way for users to revise the content of their statements after the fact, but rather as a way for them to correct errors and omissions.
Similarly, comment deletion is now possible from the same area, though with a very short time limit to limit the potential for abuse.
Please note that there are a variety of reasons a comment may not display immediately – it is unlikely to be helpful to repeatedly repost the same comment in these cases. Usually, it will only be delayed somewhat, although in cases where a time-out occurs a genuine error is more likely.
Secondly, anyone interested in seeing the best and worst comments, the most active voters and the most highly or lowly rated commenters, can see this information and more on the new comment rating statistics page, updated hourly. There is a link at the base of the comments to this page.
This is intended as a prelude to more extensive karmic functionality later, but even now this serves as an interesting method of highlighting comments of interest.
As always, comments or suggestions on these systems are welcomed.

This is great!
Even though I rarely post comments here I've wanted a feature like this for a long time.
Thank you Artefact!
Edit: Just for the sake of it.
MU☆RI☆DA☆NA
MU-DA-DA!!!
Edit: If I try to edit and write "Edit:", all the comment doubles, lol. Try it XD
Edit: it's back to normal now once I pressed F5, but now I can't edit anymore ;_;
Somebody should check out this bug, maybe it's not just my computer.
Umm.. I think, actually by the time you hit the F5 button, the time limit for you to edit the comment has already exceeded.
Dark:
What exactly did you do when the comment appeared doubled after editing? Pretty sure that just having an "Edit:" in the comment wouldn't have caused that.
Writing "Edit: (random text here)."
after I edited again, and deleted the newly added sentence, my text still was shown as double.
by deleting the comment, the next comment would be fine.
This didn't work when I wrote "Edit:" in unedited post.
I also discovered that refreshing page cleans the error (so it's not saved with double text) but at one point my save limit expired and it stayed like this. XD
Found the problem, thanks.
It's just the JavaScript in the browser that's messing up / inserting the comment twice. That's why it appears normal again after a refresh.
Will be fixed in a little while. Thanks again for reporting!
Cool, thanks for the update!
ZA WARUDO!
Nice...
announced it now? good job. (no sarcasm) ^_^
more changes are welcome plz
YOUR MOTHER'S A VERY NICE LADY!
(Previously a whore before editing)
Just when I decided to become an anon and this happens sigh*
Thanks a lot, Arte :3
seems cool 8) lets see how this turned out ... thanks anyway
The Major approves of the edit function and have used it already as sometimes my Bukkake is quite messy.
I knew something with Bukkake in it will show up in your comment sooner or later xD
besides the link in the post and typing in the address is there another way to access the comment statistic? i looked didn't see it, granted not a thorough look. just curious for future use.
It's not really clear what you mean - there is currently one page, and it is linked at the foot of each page's comment section.
View comment rating statistics » that's what i was looking for completely missed it.
thank you.
Nice, at least this would avoid people replying to themselves to correct their mistakes.
congrats MaidNiac
Thanks... Wait, what for..?
..for being the forum whore of the month...? XD
uh you have the most plus comments right?
And I have the most when counting plus and minus overall. :3
Oh yea, my bad, didn't check that link actually..
Imma happy for you and and Imma let you finish but "Insert kayne west joke here"
"kayne west joke here"
So what happens if someone's comments with a bunch of replies is deleted?
"So what happens if someone's comments with a bunch of replies is deleted?"
The comment is deleted and the replies get moved up a level.
Doubt that will be happening a lot though, since the time limit to delete is only five minutes. It's mainly to allow people to remove/repost the comment if they replied in the wrong place, for example.
I'm starting to sense a downvote fag loitering around here..
Yeah prolly the same fag from some days prior.
Making the voting list as some visible record actually encourages this. >_>
You wrote this yourself? Well done. I've written something very similar and it's certainly not as easy as it looks.
You're doing so much customising here I wonder if you're thinking of biting the bullet and ditching WP totally?
Why the hell would anyone downvote that? I was complimenting the author - this shit *is* harder than it looks.
Down voting is fun ^^
It is
8)
ouch irony hurts
Now that is a cool statistics page, 1st one I've seen since looking at the CPU list to figure out which one to buy.

Holy shit Shuu! Go for 4000 times, we support you!
You fucken bet I will!
/edit
voted you up :p
You already had 4000+ votes. It's just that it went below 4000 recently.
That would be because the stats are 'rolling'.
That is, "This Month" doesn't mean "1st of November until today". It means "between right now and today a month ago".
Which means that if you want 4k votes per month, you'll have to consistently vote at least 134 times per day... and keep it up!
From the statistics page:
"This Month
•Shuu voted 4001 times"
Heh.
Alright!
i sense many more hours i forget to login and i'm still anon... i need to save my password or something...
Might as well test the edit function here
'tis nice
Hmm, well just decided to comment to say the quality of comments here is pretty sad and it's pretty much 4chan-ish nowadays. Discussions were better a year and some months ago, when the site wasn't as popular.
Hopefully the new comment mechanisms you implement do something about this. Maybe adding a minimum lenght would be good too, so there are no dumb "+/first/lol/" or similar, unless you want these types of comments here I guess.
Cool, now we'll have a race, who will post the most smartest, wittest and funniest comments and make it to the tops?
Edit: More great things for those with no life :)
"More great things for those with no life :)"
Well, it's still light years better than being obnoxious trolls in Sancon.
meh, I prefer original content over copy-pasta of the same old and stale remarks from the *chans. Perhaps it's an improvement, but the fact that it might -and probably will- be abused for e-fame and online "glory" is quite present.
There's e-fame and glory to be had...?
I think I'd rather have herpes...
by the way, the editing thing rock, thanks Artefact.
editing comments in sankaku complex is new?!?!?
weird...i swear you could have always done that...
I voted you up arie
edit: Ku_fei was here!!! deal with it!!
Yeah, using the forum thread. Now it works here, too, saves time.
I'm winning =|
Thanks, Artefact! an edit feature is an improvement for some people who cannot bother to -not- proofread their comments before posting. The ranking statistics page is also a nice feature, but i feel that it is already showing signs of abuse. It seems people cannot accept the fact that other users are getting more up-votes due to well placed commentary and have decided to down-vote users apparently due to their ranking (as witnessed in comments above this one) which could be troubling if this trend continues.
Checking...
forgot to sign in :P
Rechecking...
Edit: All's good
Cool
Edit: Running smoothly, great feature.
About time! >.<
just kidding, this site is progressing nicely you must be racking in dough from all the advertisement profits with its huge popularity over a seemingly short time.
Still remember stumbling upon sancom the first week it opened glad i bookmarked it :)
Awesome job, Artefact. I've always hated some sites for having editing and deletion without any timer (especially certain Japanese ones), but this solves that problem very nicely, while giving everybody the benefit of being able to edit their post to correct small mistakes they notice right away.
Well that's all very nice. Now can you make it work on the forums as well?
It should be working on the forums? Editing posts has always been possible there, it's just been added to the main site now.
Doesn't work for me.
How handy. :O
Very nice features indeed. Always welcome to see improvements.
testing
fuk click the send button b4 I saw "create an account to post with a name and avatar, edit your comments, and participate on the forums."
what, pretty nice thing to happen here anyways
Makes you realize what people evaluate as "good" on here is beyond fucking ridiculous and sad more then anything..
yeah, but when you become as bitter and synical as I am, the next step beyond disgust at the sociatal malaise is ammusement. keep going youre almost there...
I like the title image.
It just keeps getting better and better.
Top Rated Users
This Month
• X-sama has Y plus and Z minus votes
Wait. Does this mean that X-sama has voted Y plus votes, or Y plus votes voted towards X-sama?
I would like to suggest restoring the commentator's user profile page link (like SanCom used to)...
- Comment by (url=http://www.sankakucomplex.com/forums/profile.php?id=*)X-sama(/url)
... in place of the current link.
- Comment by (url=
http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2009/11/28/sankaku-complex-comment-editing-statistics/?cid=*)X-sama(/url)
That way, instead of seeing the top 5 ranking, we could see how other users fair as well. Also, according to "Internet Law", shouldn't it be top 10 instead?
Perhaps the comment rating statistics link at the base of the comments could display stats for the current article instead of the overall SanCom stats?
Once again, kudos to Artefact-san for the added features. Seems that SanCom's comments system is the most progressive of all.
Hmmph... My comment appeared hours after submission which wasted my opportunity to edit it. WTH...
Hope this problem gets rectified ASAP.
Can't really be helped - there is no way anyone will know when their comment is cleared, so the time limit is meaningless as they will always miss it.
The comment links on these pages never actually linked to profile pages.
Current stats is an interesting idea, although the most relevant are already at the top of the comments section.
To answer your question about Top Rated users, the numbers mean votes towards that user. So, if it says...
This Month
X-sama has Y plus and Z minus votes
That means "across all of the comments that X-sama has posted between today and today-one-month-ago, s/he has received a total of Y plus votes and Z minus votes from other users".
A bit too long to write all of that out for each user on the statistics page though, yes?
