I also use emacs with ESS for editing R files and I have been living with the comment indentation problem you described. Based on the comments in this thread I did a search and found a posted solution that works for me. See https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2016-May/010970.html
Eric, Thanks for sharing this with me. It works here, too. What I found strange about the ess comment behavior was having ### default to the left margin and fewer # indenting increasing distances. That seems backwards to me. It makes more sense to have # mean no indentation and increase the spacing with increased #. But, that's just my opinion. :-) Oh, by the way, I was not able to resubscribe to the ess-help mail list so I wrote to the webmaster. This is his response: "I've found that after the installation of the captcha (which was an important stop gap measure: We have seen really bad fraudulous subscriptions !!), there had been some hickups.. and indeed the captcha-based subscription had been failing for ESS-help probably for about one month. "I have fixed this now, and tested that it now works (for me)."
