Mar 19, 2014 at 14:18 comment added TLP I started pondering this and came to the conclusion that it could probably be done automatically, such as "delete read comments (without upvotes) after a question has been inactive for X days". Assuming that removing excess comments is considered important enough for such a process.

Mar 19, 2014 at 14:14 comment added TLP Thank you, and yes, over time I would not mind "polite" (read: boring) conversation to be deleted. However, at times I do feel that the frivolous comments are not irrelevant, but the lifeblood of this community, adding humour, consideration and other human emotions.
