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.

ah i dont know. i personally have a lot of qualms about it. if enough people end up using it, it really will bring an end to anonymous surfing. people will be able to identify ips to multiple websites, and even comment on the specified ip about that person's browsing behaivior. ofcourse, ideally this will be used for only righteous purposes, ie weeding out the pedos out of the internet, but i can see getting a lot of heat for this in the future.

its a major privacy violation really, if you take into account the current notion that browsing should be done anonymously. but then again, if browsing wasnt anonymous, online related crimes would defintely decline. too many weirdos out there looking for 13 year olds. maybe this will help bring about an acceptance that online surfing shouldnt be anonymous for that very reason.

ah, from my standpoint, i think this tool will bring in a lot more users to createblog. so its strictly capitalism. where theres demand, therell always be supply. ie, since theres a tremendous demand for trackers, why not make the very best one (since i can)? oh well, lets see what happens.
