 * I’ve been looking for a way to categorize comments (where users can choose a 
   category from a select box, and enter their comment … or have two areas on the
   page where they can comment, in each category section). Basically, I want people
   to submit “comments” on a joke, or have the option of posting “comebacks” in 
   another area. Note: when I refer to “category,” I don’t necessarily mean the 
   generic CATEGORIES used for posts (it can be just another way to organize the
   comments)
 * I saw some posts of people saying this is not possible (but those posts were 
   REALLY old), so I wanted to see if anyone has seen this done, or knows of a plugin
   around…
 * Also, I wanted to throw out an idea, and see if anyone tried this solution (which
   is WAY beyond my coding skills) …
    So, comments allow users to enter their name,
   website, email and comment. Well, What if we used one of those other fields (
   like “website”) as the category field. Not making it an input field, but a set
   select box (or a hidden field with a set “category” value). And, then, using 
   that field to organize the comments on the page… It’s an idea … unfortunately,
   its beyond my coding skills.

 * As mentioned, I tried that. The only post that comes up similar, was from 2008.
   The rest are all about general categorization and tagging. Anyone else have any
   ideas?
