| Aug 18, 2020 at 12:51 | comment | added | Cadoiz | Sorry, that was a bit misleading. I thought, you would sugest to change your answer as described and then "remove all comments" to avoid confusion. But I noticed that I can't clean up comments by other users in for example the linked question. | |
| Aug 18, 2020 at 12:39 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | @Cadoiz no, all users can delete their own comments but not those made by others, although comments containing certain words can be deleted by a single flag from any user, and other comments may be deleted by several flags. What specifically are you pointing out in the post you linked to as best practice? | |
| Aug 18, 2020 at 11:47 | comment | added | Cadoiz | Is a specifiv amount of reputation needed to remove comments from own answers and questions? I couldn't find something like this here: askubuntu.com/help/privileges I would also try to apply this best practice for example here: stackoverflow.com/questions/63087969/… | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 22:37 | comment | added | Kevin Bowen | Hehe. I apologize for making you feel that you needed to apologize. ;-) Don't worry about it. My verbalizing the question here, helped me in thinking about it and I don't really see much value in the comments. I'll sit on this for a few more days and then we can clean up the comments. Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 8:28 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | @KevinBowen if any of my answer came across as being critical of your question, then I apologise. I think it's a very appropriate meta question and I upvoted it. Also, I didn't mean at all to imply that it was somehow remiss of you to not already have removed the comments :) I will wait to see how my answer here is received before removing any comments from the post in question. BTW, I don't think community wiki status helps much with maintenance these days since any user (even anonymous visitors) can suggest edits (CW was invented before that feature), so I wouldn't suggest it for that post. | |
| Aug 13, 2020 at 4:34 | comment | added | Kevin Bowen | Fair enough. I appreciate your feedback. I was, hopefully, trying to clean up some cruft. If you, as a moderator, want to remove all of the comments, that is fine by me. Considering the age of the answer, it probably should be a community wiki answer and maintained as such. I didn't want to be arrogant and remove them myself. Thanks. | |
