I have like a forum-like / story-comment like relation between 2 content types.
Let's call them SuperArticle and SubArticle.
The superArticles are added by moderators and the normal users can respond to them with subArticles.
I managed to do this with node hierarchy but when a normal user (who doesn't have edit permission to superArticle) wants to reply to a superArticle the parent will be NULL.
If the normal user is granted edit permission to the superArticle it's fine but then he can also edit superArticles (duh).
This makes this module half useless.
::: Soulution(?) :::
Now I realized what maybe accomplishes this is the module "node comment" which replaces the core comment module and requires you to crate content types to be your comments (yes! that's what i want). Because I want to add extra fields.
I will try that know and I hope it will work.
If somone knows another way to solve this I would be grateful.

ronan commentedThat does sound like a good solution for your needs. I have accomplished something similar with node hierarchy, by writing custom code to (carefully) work around the permission checks of node hierarchy. Unfortunately there's no simple way to fix this as the Drupal permission system does not allow module developers to create new node permission types (we have to work with 'view', 'update' and 'create'). That's why update perms are required to make children of a node.
I hope 'node comment' works out for you.
