   Since comments are editable, it's not hard for people to use trial-and-error and get it right. I'd only go with bbCode if commenting is a one-shot deal.

   Here's an alternative: Provide a "paste some code!" button that gives the user a textarea in which to... paste some code. When they hit "paste", it escapes the HTML, wraps it in <pre> or <code>, and pastes it into the comment area.

   Disagree. Tags could be used inside code blocks to highlight specific parts. On the other hand, auto-escaping unneeded code isn't much hassle to implement for scriptwriters themselves. But if you want to make comments system more friendly to unexperienced user, you need bbCode instead of HTML - this will solve all problems at once.
