| Mar 5, 2020 at 22:14 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @VLAZ exactly the reasoning for this request. (your last sentence) | |
| Mar 5, 2020 at 22:01 | comment | added | VLAZ | @ShadowWizardisEarForYou if you can see a deleted question/answer, I suppose you can flag the post itself with a custom mod flag and explain you want a comment under it removed. Still, I agree that I believe we should be able to delete our comments. I run into this now on a deleted (and locked) post - I wanted to remove a comment from it but I got "Comments on locked posts are not eligible for voting" as well. Which seems weird - I should be able to remove my own comments from there. | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 9:15 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @OlivierRogier no. Even power user can't delete or even flag it. In those cases, you can either flag a different, not related, post and explain in the "Other" field what you want, or post a meta question. Either way, moderators will see it and will be able to remove those comments. | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 9:06 | comment | added | user618498 | Lies, attacks and degrading comments as well as insults can't be flagged for administrator intervention if a question is locked and will remain as-is until a power user will read it and decide to delete it. | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 8:32 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @OlivierRogier post means either a question or an answer, so it's included in my request. And as for not being able to flag, it's because it's a rare lock called "historical lock" and a request to allow flagging was declined: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/247501/…. | |
| Nov 6, 2019 at 1:37 | comment | added | user618498 | I can't delete my comment on a locked question too. And there is no flagging available to ask for a moderator intervention. | |
| Jul 9, 2019 at 18:44 | comment | added | User that hates AI | I assume this would exclude historical locks. I don't think this change would be necessarily bad, but it seems somehow strange to say "All interactions with a locked post are forbidden, except for moderator flags and deleting your own comment". I mean, everyone can understand why it should still be possible to flag a locked post, but deleting your comments? That somehow seems off. :/ | |
| Jul 9, 2019 at 14:35 | comment | added | Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog | @Snow Internally, deleting a comment is considered a "vote". | |
| Jul 9, 2019 at 10:00 | comment | added | Shadow Wizard | @Snow oh, that's fine, it's because deletion is done by using a delete vote; in case it's your own question/answer/comment, that single vote is binding. | |
| Jul 9, 2019 at 9:05 | comment | added | user351483 | And why would you get a message about voting when you're trying to delete a comment? | |
