      I’ve wondered about this quite a bit. If I were a fucking asshole like spez and wanted to defeat edit/delete scripts, I would set it so there’s 2 entries, one is the original comment and a second column for an edited value. Everytime there’s an edit update the 2nd one.

      I had the idea to start all my comments with gibberish, and then edit with my actual comment, but that got a little tedious lol.

      Depending on how their database schema’s designed, editing might not actually help. Some designs are made to track every change, so edits will just end up being a row in the database, and lookbacks can be super easy. For example, you might just have to ask the database to give you what a comment looked like at a given time.
