I think the ability to track any time user X comments to post Y is fine, as long as it's only supported when you could track any time *anyone* commented to post Y.

I think the ability to track any time user X posts to community Y is fine, as long as it's supported only for posts you'd see if you were tracking any time *anyone* posted to the community.

I can see the utility of tracking "any time user X comments to any post in community Y" - but if it were done, I'd want it to be a setting on the community whether or not it was supported. It would make sense for communities like news and roleplay communities, but it might be a very bad idea for some other community types (supporting people with issues, etc.). There should be a warning to users when they comment in such communities that such tracking is possible, if it's done.
