I see. That's the first reason I hear for considering really forbidding comments on closed issues. IMO it is really a Jira bug that as admin you cannot remove a comment unless you reopen the issue. Luckily we have not seen so much spamming on HV or SEARCH (I think) Speaking of Jira and closed issues etc. I did a quick search today w/o any JIRA key. I was expecting a search in the active projects (aka HHH, SEARCH, HV), but I got hits in projects like TODO and HB. Is there a way to exclude them from a default search? > In general I definitely agree that allowing comments on closed issues is > positive. In fact I would argue that it is necessary.
