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.

I kind of like it the way it is... I'm getting more comments now that the comments are on the layout preview page. Also, the updates that I get in "My Account" telling me that I have new comments makes it easier for me to help non-HTML literate users use my layouts.

People used to just copy/paste and then give up when they copied something wrong or messed up the coding.... they never even bothered to leave a comment, and if they did, I wouldn't have konwn about it. I think this way makes SO much more sense. I can keep track of my layout's comments SO much easier.

If there was a way to have all of this + the forums, I think it would be cool... but I also think it would be disorganized.
