Disappearing Comments

Hi, Alligator readers.

You'll notice that on occasion, comments disappear from the Web site.

This is not intentional. I want you to be able to have a discussion about all the stories. I want you to be able to voice your opinions, whatever they may be.

The problem is this:

When we make corrections, we go back to the online articles and write in an Editor's Note so that anyone who stumbles upon the article in the future has the correct information. The system we use to manage our content erases all comments whenever we edit an article.

It's unfortunate, but right now there isn't anything we can do about this.
