Question

I have an idea... I think it would be nice if a person could remove replies/comments on only questions that they have asked.

Answer 1

WELL NO,
wut if i did a mistake?

Answer 2

I'd love that

Answer 3

What do you mean @AlexandervonHumboldt2?

Answer 4

Well if this happen, then how would we catch users who spam etc?

Answer 5

there could be an undo button incase of the @AlexandervonHumboldt2

Answer 6

that^^^

Answer 7

well, the spam would be removed, and it wouldn't be as big of a problem. Also, in order to remove it, you could have options listed as to why it was removed and mods would get notified when it happened to a particular person for x amount of times. Does that make sense? I think that would be the only way it would work and be beneficial to OpenStudy as well as its users.

Answer 8

I mean we should just leave it how it is now, only mods can delete comments.

Answer 9

nothing good in this idea

Answer 10

Also it would get rid of people who are rude, because reporting them isn't really worth it if they're being rude even if it is in the Code of Conduct.

Answer 11

Because if you report someone for being rude it's just wasting the mods time when instead they could be taking care of those being inappropriate.

Answer 12

This is a terrible idea. Like the one I am about to suggest.

Answer 13

Well again, giving users power to delete their own comments is a bad idea and can cause users to delete evidence etc

Answer 14

but wut ifbad people will go and just delete everyones comments?

Answer 15

I was just about to say that @bunnielover948
it could save mods time because we could do it for them..but only on our posts.

Answer 16

If users want a comment deleted, just message a mod and he/she will decided if it should be deleted.

Answer 17

@BloomLocke367 I like your idea

Answer 18

not all mods accept messages from users they aren't friends with ._. I tried that last night because someone was posting spam on a post I had.

Answer 19

aw!! I'm sorry

Answer 20

But how will deleting a post help a mod?

Answer 21

Comment*

Answer 22

I'm not very good friends with mods. It'll help @jagr2713 because then the mods don't have to deal with deleting the comments themselves so then with all the extra time they can take care of important things

Answer 23

this will cause the folowing:

spammer make a post. people go and tell him to close the spam and he deletes everyone comments :) afwul

Answer 24

But the only person that can delete the comment is the person who made the comment. So this is a bad idea because the person who is getting reported for spamming, can now delete it with no evidence @bunnielover948

Answer 25

Yeah, makes sense, but over time the idea could become something better. So don't dis it now

Answer 26

NO NO 1000000 NO's on this idea ;)

Answer 27

:P To all you dissing this idea, ok it may not be the best but y'all probably hurting @BloomLocke367 feelings. If people were dissing my idea, which has happened, I would not be happy.

Answer 28

We're not "dissing" your idea. We are giving our opinion on your idea to better you idea.

Answer 29

@bunnielover948 everyone is entitled to his or her opinions :D

Answer 30

^

Answer 31

Nah, Disagree ;)

Answer 32

But I'm not sure if you understand what I'm saying.

Say @jagr2713 made a post
@bunnielover948 spams it and prohibiting @jagr2713 from getting help
only @jagr2713 would be able to delete the comments on HIS question.

Answer 33

\(\Huge\frak\color{red}{DISSARGEE}\)

Answer 34

Say, spammer makes a post.
Jagr tells him to stop spaming and spammer removes his comments. Or new asker is posting a question in wrong section. jagr welcomes him (as a global intern) and asker removes his comment and jagr gets removed from GI work :(

Answer 35

We;; i understand @BloomLocke367 but users will abuse this power and start deleting random comments and when you do delete your comments, you lose the medals given on the question. But we have a report button for a reason :D

Answer 36

Nice that I'm the spammer

Answer 37

lol

Answer 38

lol

Answer 39

O_o

Answer 40

But why would they delete random comments if it isn't beneficial? o.O
haha @bunnielover948 it was just a scenario

Answer 41

I though so, xD

Answer 42

It's ok I don't mind

Answer 43

Well its like why spam if its annoying and a waste of time @BloomLocke367

Answer 44

But that's why you have to fill out something to delete questions.. so mods can track who is deleting comments and whose comments they're deleting..

Answer 45

wut if no mods online?

Answer 46

There is never no mods online

Answer 47

i think

Answer 48

there are

Answer 49

But isnt it the same as asking a mod to delete your comment @BloomLocke367

Answer 50

He/she is still going to ask you why, and your still going to give a reason and he/she still will review it @BloomLocke367

Answer 51

most mods I know don't accept messages from people they aren't a fan of so I couldn't ask them to remove the comments ._.

Answer 52

Report it or ask another :D

Answer 53

Answer 55

Answer 56

@BloomLocke367 if you think this is a great idea, then please feel free to submit this suggestion and it will be looked at and decided on
