Deleting comments.

I haven't been to these forums in a long time, so I don't know if this has been discussed recently, and I don't really have the time to check the next few pages, so forgive me if this discussion has been settled.

I was hoping you could make an easier way to delete comments people leave on your poetry. For example, someone who has very poor typing skills and, for whatever reason, has not learned how to spell the word 'you', and spells it 'u', posts a comment on one of your poems, and you wish to delete its disgusting appearance, you cannot, at the moment, unless you send a complaint, in which, you do not get to explain why you are complaining.

So to sum it up, I'd like to suggest a simple "delete" button, that doesn't involve bothering the "big guys" with such small problems, such as a comment that just has poor grammar and spelling.

Please and thank you kindly.

Sincerely,

This has been posted many times, but they are not going to change it. Well, not that I know about, but it is a good idea, but they made some pretty good points why they don't, though I do not remember why. So go figure.

I think a better suggestion would be a 'why I want this deleted' box for when you complain about a comment.

Well, Sean, I think the purpouse because she didn't like how people typed messages on his comment. I do not know, but that is what I got out of it.

... I know... I was telling her that a more reasonable request would be for a box where you can write the reason why you want the comment deleted.

That would work as well, but then those who have to read complaints will have a lot more complaints to look at, possibly.

Sorry that this was discussed, it may be dismissed then.

Well, don't get me wrong, as a moderator, I think having a small explanation as to why you want it deleted wouldn't be a bad idea. For example, sometimes people accidentally comment twice in a row, and a person complains on the second to delete the repeat. I normally check for that anyway, but it'd be faster if they just wrote a note saying that it is a repeat.

The comment complaints don't really take all that long , I don't think.

I like that idea then, because I often get the repeated comment thing, as well.

Has that idea (your idea) been brought up before to the admins?

not as of yet

Think you could? It be much appreciated from the small people ^_^.

theoretically, janis and dainz are supposed to look through this forum from time to time. I'll see what I can do.

Thanks.
