I agree with [Soojin](1618) about where to post feedback, but once a comment is up, maybe you can link a YT post to the comment? Doing both?

[Soojin](/393) @name doesn’t work here like it does in twitter, but if you click on the # sign and get the number at the end of that permalink. Then put parantheses around that number and a slash before it. And put a title in front of that, with square brackets, you can link back to a person’s message…
It looks like this \[Soojin](/393)AND, in a way the @name does work. For example, search for @Ikeda. Users just have to remember to do this.

Several teachers — all of us in schools, making this school-based — are moderating it, and we are inviting other teachers who register to be administrators and help to moderate as well. Thanks for the question!
