It can be problematic when you post a comment to only realize you made a spelling mistake or forgot to type a line. Can it be possible to have comments also be editable in similar fashion to forum posts?

I would love this because I sometimes make spelling mistakes or mess up when using Textile when making a comment so this would be a nice feature.

Honestly, I'd be in favor.

I constantly have to make a second post in order to correct my errors, unlike the forums where I can edit my posts.

The difference between forum posts and comments is you can delete a comment at any time, but cannot edit it. With forum posts you can edit them and delete them but only for 30 minutes. Why do we have a limited amount of time to edit/delete a forum post, and should there be a limited time for editing/deleting a comment?

Forum posts are like that so in a debate someone doesn't change their argument to the majority one for muh karma. In comments debates are sorta pointless so why bother.
