Comment highlighting #1740

The amount of comments has increased, questions asking for feedback get buried more quickly.

comment graph

To solve this, I propose a feature that lets users highlight comments via a checkbox. Mods would also be able to toggle this checkbox for any comment.

ui example

Comment schema:

{ "author": {},
  "authorName": "",
  "created": "2024-04-13T00:00:00Z",
  "id": 40133,
  "message": "",
  "highlighted": True, {NEW}
}

The highlight would be based on one of these:

Alternatively, multiple checkboxes could be implemented: one for whether the comment is edit-related and a second one specifying if help is wanted or not. For simplicity though, it's probably best to pick one criteria.

With this, a filter for "Hide unrelated comments" could be added on the frontpage and on https://vocadb.net/Comment (off by default = all types of comments visible).

For discussion topic comments, this feature could either be ignored or toggled automatically based on the discussion folder.

@Shiroizu Would it make sense to try and redirect edit related questions to the forum? Maybe with a banner and a link above the comment box: "For edit related questions please open a discussion topic in our forum".

Otherwise this generally seems like a good idea.

Most edit related questions have some context (entry), and it makes sense to have that context as close to the discussion as possible.

Some examples (edit related questions):
