| Apr 26, 2012 at 16:15 | comment | added | Manishearth | @Adel i've mentioned that too below.. Mods notice and can privately messsage. Also, the system blows up part of your rep if you get too many spam/offensive flags | |

| Apr 26, 2012 at 16:14 | comment | added | Caffeinated | @Manishearth - How about the idea of disallowing commenting if a user has X-number of consecutive flagged comments? Say Mr. Dodo starts making lots of bad comments, after 5 in a row shan't we just block him? | |
| Apr 26, 2012 at 16:12 | comment | added | Caffeinated | @Manishearth - Got it, the logic clicked with me now. with comments It's like if I wrote a random poem or quote on the bathroom stalls - since I did not write it in a more permanent fashion, it is unprotected. OK cool beans. thanks | |

| Apr 26, 2012 at 15:34 | comment | added | Caffeinated | Jeff, great explanation. But do you agree that there are two types of bad comments - 1. Mistakes/errors/typos/spam and 2. Hurtful/malicious/rude/anti-community ? And that maybe the latter type can be dealt with through a notification? If I'm a mod, and I delete a mean comment, I'd feel better if that user got a little messag like "your comment was deleted because it was deemed offensive to the community" ? thanks | |
| Jan 4, 2012 at 14:52 | comment | added | karnok | Fair enough. I just want notification so I don't have to join meta and ask a question to find out. I'm not in the business of flagging other comments, I generally feel deletion is completely unnecessary - just let the popular ones shine. Also, it seems contradictory to say comments are merely minor little notes and yet expected to be provably "useful" and "constructive". On the topic of constructive, let's see this get implemented. | |
