| Oct 2, 2015 at 19:17 | comment | added | Ooker | @kenorb I open this: Does the policy change when there is a new top answer? | |
| Sep 30, 2015 at 19:30 | comment | added | anongoodnurse Mod | @kenorb - "Immediate deletion should be reserved for spam, inappropriate behavior, etc." is someone's opinion about their own comments as answers, not the site guidelines. Comments are for clarification, suggested edits, etc. Not answers of any kind. Make a separate meta about it if you wish, though it's already been covered elsewhere. | |
| Sep 30, 2015 at 18:28 | comment | added | kenorb | @anongoodnurse How exactly community decided? I see the most voted answer saying 'Definitely not' (to remove the comments), 'Immediate deletion should be reserved for spam, inappropriate behavior, etc. '. So I believe community decided to not delete comments, unless they're inappropriate. Therefore mods should respect community votes and don't remove them anymore. | |
| Sep 30, 2015 at 18:25 | comment | added | kenorb | This is how I see it: The comment claiming something that it shouldn't (in other words - wrong information), can be always flagged for moderation with some short explanation what's wrong, so it can be easily removed by the mods after consideration, no-brainer. Removing some useful comments would just further annoy users when they effort is lost and it doesn't teach anybody anything. Short answers in comments are allowed in many SE sites, because sometimes answer is too short for a proper answer. it works fine on many sites (SO/SU/SF, etc.) where there are plenty of useful comments. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 16:09 | comment | added | anongoodnurse Mod | @Ooker - the community and the mods have decided against it. That's not how comments work. | |
| Sep 29, 2015 at 5:47 | comment | added | Ooker | @anongoodnurse but if the whole problem is "you can't downvote a comment", then when a comment is bad, you can comment in the below that that comment is bad, and people can vote up your comment? Then Carey Gregory's answer will work | |

| Jul 11, 2015 at 20:07 | comment | added | anongoodnurse Mod | I don't think answers in comments should be treated any differently than answers, which can be voted on. This makes comments with references answers which cannot be down voted. Does that make sense? It's like giving advice with impunity... at least that's how I see it. | |
