The discussion revolves around a potential issue in the forum regarding the display of comment tags in posts. Users note that the text "There is /* something */ hidden here." appears as intended, but it raises questions about whether this behavior is a bug or a feature. The consensus leans toward it being a mishandling of comment tags, as they are typically used for code comments and shouldn't affect visible content. There is speculation that the problem may stem from forum customizations or hacks, particularly related to the latex parser. Overall, the situation highlights a need for clarity on how comment tags are processed in the forum's code.
