Wait... what you are talking about is comments containing - "...request for such [vital information]"? Or "guesses as answers"? These are the comments you want to "pin"?

Then, it is enough a vote from a user to make it always visible; if it is not enough, a vote more from another user would make it always visible. | |

Sorry, but I keep getting this kind of answers for all my comment related feature requests and it might be right for SO but not everywhere. I posted it here because it is an user interface feature-request and IMHO is better posted on the global meta. It's not vital information I'm talking about, but request for such etc. OPs should of course edit this information into the post. And yes, on TeX.SE sometimes people point out a possible solution as comment first. Often something like "try loading hyperref as last package" can fix a LaTeX problem and we don't want such guesses as answers.

With all due respect - you posted on the global meta not on your site specific meta. This "mentality" is the same across the entire SE network - comments are comments wherever you go... Vital information appears in the main body of the post. Addressing an issue only in the comments is wrong - do you also provide answers in the form of comments? Once you have requested more information (in a comment), the OP should update their post and you continue from there...

| May 8, 2012 at 10:55 | comment | added | Martin Scharrer | I'm getting sick of this "Comments are just that comments" mentality. Addressing questions using comments is a vital tool at some sites, e.g. my home site TeX.SE, because we have to constantly handle newbies which don't provide enough information to solve their LaTeX issue or have overlooked that this might be solved using an existing thread. I'm a 72k+ moderator there and know myself how comments are used. | |
