layout/scripts/graphic comments Options

[Blaqheartedstar]

I use to love that layout/scripts/graphic comments were in forums and counted towards our post count, but although CB4 is pretty awesome i think giving people the option to delete comments on their work prevents the users from ratting out jockers, other forms of stealing, and posting suggestions, without it getting deleted because the person can't take a bit of criticism.
it was awesome before that the comments section was mini forum pages just for certain submission and made comments clean with the ability to quote and reply to certain comments with out comfusion.

for example
this layout: http://www.createblog.com/layouts/code.php?id=18345
i posted a comment saying that she should of picked a better picture that there had to be better pictures out there of the person she was making a layout about instead of the blurry one shes using, and she deletes the comment
pretty sure she didn't like what i had to say and can't take criticism...

i think that little trash button takes away from viewers who plan to use the graphic/script/layout, because all the "bad things" written about it is deleted. Yes i see its benefits and it prevents spammers from posting links but it also has its down sides.

i guess what i'm saying that we should have the old forums comments section like we did before.

Well on one of my layouts, someone posted a rude comment that was like, "Stop ignoring your comments, it's your responsibility to help people!" and that really made me mad, because I help lots of people, but I just do it via PMs. I PM everyone who comments my layouts.

I resolved it with her (also via PM), and she realized that I'm not rude like that, but I wanted to delete her comments so other people don't get the wrong idea about me and are afraid to ask for help. =/

I think the main reason for not having the deletion of comments would be the jocker issue, but other than that, I don't see why we shouldn't be able to delete them. Like karmakiller said, even though she deleted your comment, she obviously saw it, and even if she left it there, if she didn't like it she wouldn't have taken your advice anyway. And I doubt anyone takes into consideration the comments on a layout before they use it. If they like it, they'll use it, regardless of what other people say about it.
