    Hah you read my mind :p - I was considering suggesting using a thread-specific ID but decided to cut the comment down. I like the human-readable idea of <adjective> <animal> for that too.

    This makes me wonder if there's a use case for two versions of delete; delete and "detach".

    Delete: deletes the comment.
    Detach: Detaches your account as an author to a comment (at least visible to users, admins might still be able to associate) and it will not show up on their user page.

    Often people delete comments on reddit to prevent a buildup of details about themselves. Detach would allow people to leave useful information and anecdotes in threads for posterity but would protect them from people stalking their profiles. I could even see "detach all comments older than x months" as a profile setting.
