Description

It's often helpful for a moderator to pin a comment at the top of the feed with relevant information, but currently moderators are always bound by the EditInterval and the "can't edit replied-to posts" rule. It would be nice if there were an option to always allow moderators to edit their posts.

Research direction
Examine the comment editing logic in the backend, particularly the EditInterval and replied to restrictions. Look for where moderator permissions are checked (e.g., in store or API handlers). The issue may involve adding a configuration option or bypassing the restrictions for users with admin role. No existing linked PRs or comments provide additional direction.
