I've been experimenting with using server-side programs to *guide* users 
towards making useful bug reports:

http://website.openoffice.org/tryouts/dcarrera/miniZilla/

Okay, this one is about *submitting* a first report, rather than 
commenting on a current one. But you get the idea. A similar process could 
be used to direct the poster in the right direction.

But alas... this kind of form depends on a CGI program. What's the problem 
with a CGI program?:

  (1) SourceCast doesn't let us use CGI.
  (2) If I suggest using something outside SourceCast, the project will
  be killed on the basis that any and all OOo projects should be done
  on SC, regardless of SC's inability to perform. And I'll probably have
  to put up with some verbal abuse before giving up in frustration.

Sigh...
