Allow removal and editing of previous comments if feasible #27

Currently everything is seemingly set in stone from the user's end once a comment is submitted. Not sure if this is feasible to implement though if the goal is to have no accounts and make all commenting anonymous

If we want to limit updating and deleting to the user who posted the comment, conversation, or community, then we will need to create some concept of a user, either through managing sessions, or a modeled user that is tied to the comments, conversations and communities they create.

I'm not sure if that immediate permanence upon submitting is a bug or a feature. So many other sites have endless editing capabilities, I appreciate that we might want to make people really think about what they're sharing before publishing. Or, maybe we save their IP address for a short amount of time and they have only a few minutes to decide to edit or delete. I could see a different approach within the groups, where users would have some regular alias & password to join / contribute. There, they might be able to edit or delete their own posts.
