"I wanted to suggest that there could be a separate comment thread for each secret, but someone already suggested it and there was a concern about loading times.

I would rather bear the longer loading times for separate comment threads for each secret than painstakingly search for responses to specific secrets on each page of comments (and then going back to look if anyone's responded since last check).

There are other benefits as well:
- Questions about a specific secret (Eg. What episode is this secret from?) can be answered once for everyone without being repeatedly asked and answered over the course of 10+ pages.
- It could encourage people to comment on a secret that doesn't have any comments yet.
- It would save the Ctrl and F buttons of keyboards everywhere.

Could there at least be a poll about this suggestion please?"

Nah, this is a crappy idea. It will make commenting on multiple secrets a pain, and part of the fun of reading the comments is searching through them, IMO.

Also, how will it be enforced? If someone decides to say "Screw the official thread" and comments on secrets separately, will they be banned? What if they comment anon?

Just seems like a lot more work for everyone and logistically unworkable in the long run anyway.

You're not trying to search for specific comment threads on your fifteen minute break from work I bet.

You're right. I'm not.

I hate this idea anyway.
