Question

Suggestion: Let users who asked a question delete comments on their questions.

Answer 1

Like, if I asked a question, lets take this one for example, and someone comments on it, then I should be able to delete their comment, if I find it to be objectionable.

Answer 2

that would be awful.

Well, that would be ideal for spammers... thats all :PP

Answer 3

Actually when I'm bad
>:D

I wish to delete all the comments that appose me.

But generally speaking... yeah. Bad idea.

Answer 4

oppose* and how is it a bad idea? I will continue the discussion on @poopsiedoodle.

Answer 5

So yeah, how is it a bad idea? It'd be like facebook does with their statuses.

Answer 6

huh

You could delete any comment that could make you look bad, or any other comment, or just use it to troll, or it could disrupt the flow of the convo.

Answer 7

So, for example, maybe I didn't like your comment, so, after posting this one, I could do what my picture that is about to be attached shows.

Answer 8

Users try to cheat by asking test questions here, if they are allowed to delete the comments, there will be no proof that they have been helped.

Answer 9

That is a valid point, @hartnn. We could deter that by making it only useable by people 40-50+ smartscore. Most cheaters are caught before the time that they hit that SS, or are just people that come here once, cheat, and then leave for good.

Answer 10

EXCACTLY @HARTNN!
They say that they don't want the teachers to see proof!

Answer 11

NO, @poopsiedoodle . GET OVER IT.
ITS A BAD IDEA. >:|

Answer 13

Stop trying to be tyto, and support your own argument, and maybe, tell me why my comprmise (about the smart score requirement) is wrong.

Answer 14

Are you joking ?

Hater.

Answer 16

Even the users with 99 SS can cheat, why to give anyone chance ?

Answer 17

1. It could intruprut the flow of the convo.
2. It could confuse matters.
3. It could help trolls.
4. It could be used for cheating.
5. I know a lot of 60+ SS people who cheat.
6. Why ? It would do more good then bad.
7. You could cover up comments you don't want people to see.

Answer 18

Like, right now, I don't want sean spamming my question with gifs and off topic things. -_- So, instead of awkwardly asking him to delete them, which may or may not happen, I just delete them myself.

Answer 19

your ignoring the bad.

this would cause more chaos then good.

Answer 20

If it's objectionable, #1 and #2 are out. If we have a smart score requirement on it, #4 would be out. @#5, just report them. #6 adresses everything you already said, and was unnecessary. @#7, if they are objectionable, or personal, and you DO NOT WANT THEM THERE, you could delete them.

Answer 21

huh ?
what if it isn't objectinable ?
they 1 and 2 stays!

The mods can suspend/delete messgaes, but they can't restore them.

Answer 22

"7. You could cover up comments you don't want people to see." - me


"@#7, if they are objectionable, or personal, and you DO NOT WANT THEM THERE, you could delete them." - poop

HUHHH ?
My point is that people could cover up stuff. More good then bad.

Answer 23

What other reason would there be to have a delete button?

Answer 24

You could cover OTHER comments people right.

Answer 25

What kind of stuff would people be covering up? They usually do that about things that they post.

Answer 26

huh ?
NO!

I feel like covering up stuff when people tell me that I've avoided suspension .-.
Or such things.

Answer 27

huh ?
what if it isn't objectinable ?
they 1 and 2 stays!

The mods can suspend/delete messgaes, but they can't restore them.

Answer 28

+ the cheating thing isn't solved.

Answer 29

"5. I know a lot of 60+ SS people who cheat."
"#5, just report them."

HUH ?
It would be deleted! How would i know ?

Answer 32

"What other reason would there be to have a delete button?" -me
Deleting bad things that are out of place does not interrupt the flow of conversation, or confuse matters. Stop multiposting, by the way.

Answer 33

And stop spamming gifs everywhere.

Answer 34

huh ?
what if they aren't out of place ?
Your only taking one curcomstance!

Answer 35

"5. I know a lot of 60+ SS people who cheat."
"#5, just report them."

HUH ?
It would be deleted! How would i know ?

Answer 36

This is exactly the kind of thing where I would need a delete button. STOP. POSTING. THE. SAME. THING. YOU. ALREADY. POSTED.

Answer 37

WHAT IF THE PERSON COULD USE IT TO CHEAT, LIKE HOW HARTNN SAID.

Answer 38

"5. I know a lot of 60+ SS people who cheat."
"#5, just report them."

Doesn't apply. It would be deleted, how could I know ???

Answer 39

And it could disrput the flow of convo! or cover up things they don't want to be let out!

Answer 40

I think it would do more good then bad.

Answer 41

If it's not out of place, then you have no business deleting it.

Answer 42

And people can repost their comments if they are unfairly deleted.

Answer 43

Let me get an example of where something like this has happened.

Answer 44

HuaNbeast's comment at the bottom does not belong there.

Answer 45

"If it's not out of place, then you have no business deleting it."
Oh course they have no business of deleting it!
But how do you know that since a lot of people are trolls, that they will respect that ?

Answer 46

"And people can repost their comments if they are unfairly deleted."
the cycle could go on... and on...

Answer 47

The high SS people usually are not trolls. They are respectable people in the OS community. If they are trolls, and someone points it out, they can have a suspension.
