| Nov 2, 2022 at 3:02 | comment | added | starball | I'm currently thinking about the aspect of this problem that has to do with edits that make comments outdated. One possible suggestion that could be made here is that the edit interface give a friendly nudge to the editor to check if any comments can be flagged as no-longer-needed. | |
| Nov 2, 2022 at 1:29 | comment | added | starball | Related to the endless joint-cleanup loop, there is this discussion: "Should we get notified of deleted comments we've replied to?", and a related feature request: "Automatic deletion of 'reply' comments". Note: I'm not trying to shoot this post down (it's the opposite). I'm all for comment cleanup, so I'm trying to link the related posts together. | |

| Aug 16, 2019 at 21:55 | comment | added | Loduwijk | I just deleted my question which was a dupe of this. Has there been any progress on this front? It would be great if the community was allowed to self-moderate - having some high-rep users with extra privileges is not the community self moderating. | |

| Feb 18, 2014 at 15:44 | comment | added | Martin Smith | Your bullet points don't state explicitly the obvious win that it also helps reduce the moderator workload. And so should be welcomed per the thread here. I imagine most regulars would happily clean up their own obsolete comments if notified of them which could cause a significant reduction in amount going through for moderator handling. | |
| Jun 10, 2013 at 1:18 | comment | added | Aaron Bertrand Staff | I don't know that I agree with your first bullet. I can envision plenty of cases where the OP may think that a comment/question has been addressed but the other person does not. I talked about this here, but you complained that I wrote too much. :-\ | |
