When a user's post is converted to a comment, they see a message about it on the post itself:

your post was converted to a comment; see the faq

However, that only works for the post owner; other users see:

Deleted by BoltClock ♦ 2 mins ago

Is it possible to generalize the first message (e.g. "this post was converted to a comment") and show it to everyone? It's useful for 10k users/mods to know if a post was converted to a comment or just outright deleted

    It would be nice if there was also some indicator on a comment that was converted from an answer. Nov 23, 2011 at 20:06

    @JeffMercado: Even something as subtle as the pencil that shows your comment has been edited, would help too.

Done.

Starting with revision 2013.11.5.1120, if you can see the deleted post and are not the author of the post, you will see:

converted to a comment by <mod> <when>

  • Will it override this i.e. show "converted to a comment by Community"? Nov 5, 2013 at 12:27
  • @ShaWizDowArd - no. This specific case if for answers manually converted by a mod.
