Clarification: Deleting comments from your community posts
Clarification: Deleting comments from your community posts
Edited to a more general statement
This is a community for discussion and not necessarily a community for mandatory agreement. If you make posts in this community, and then see fit to delete all comments from multiple posters on a post and lock the post for further comments - that post may be removed.
In general - it would preferable if posters refrain from deleting the comments of others. I can understand that people may want to delete comments that go off topic from the original post, but I encourage the original poster to at least leave a comment to why certain comments were removed.
You may of course choose to withdraw an entire post - but before you do so, please consider if it is strictly necessary.
A suggestion: If you want to get around our forum guidelines and moderate a post to your own liking at all times, without the glares from our forum nazi moderators, this is a viable alternative:
Publish the post on your profile, then share the post to the community (assuming that the post actually is relevant to Delphi) with a request for people to "Please comment on the original post" and lock the shared post for comments. I only ask that the shared post is removed if the original is removed as well.

And here i thought i was getting scalded for removing a /comment/!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! The notion that threads can change after responses is a bit amoebae-eish. Facebook also allow it.
