How to discard repeated comments from different users on same code

Question

Hi

This issue is related to crucible 2.7

We usually use multiple reviewers to review the same set of files.

Now how can we discard repeated similar comments from different reviewers on the same code (file).

Crucible does not allow you to delete review comments and at the same time it gets messy when four developers make the same review comment on an obvious error at the same line in the code.

Hi Rahul,

Unfortunately Crucible does not have a way of detecting duplicate comments like this.  Developers shoud be able to delete their own comments in Crucible, so if you see this often you could enforce a strategy such as asking the developer who left all but the oldest comment to delete their comments.

Another strategy you could use might be to adapt a workflow which makes it less likely to have two developers looking at a code review at the same time.
