Currently, if you have edit permissions for the story, you can also edit
(well, delete) the comments.

But I agree, a Comment Moderator role would be cleaner.

Wouldn't all comments have the same permissions? Or, to put it the other
way around: How would you end up with two comments under the same story
having different permissions?

Edit wars? Phew, hadn't thought of that.

I guess Wikipedia shows that there's no good solution to that ...
