I think there are at least two sides to this. Users should be able to delete their own comments, or at the very least, edit them. (I'm not convinced about deleting.)<br><br>But there is also the validity that a user might need to delete/hide/remove spam comments. e.g. in this case with Gerald.<br>
<br>
As a counter to your statement, I think it would become pretty obvious
pretty quickly who is doing that sort of behaviour. The Librarians would
know that they have given notice, and if we set it up right there would
be a record on the database anyway.<br>
e.g.<br>
chovynz added a comment to clipart ######<br>
"Example" deleted a comment on clipart ######<br><br>Librarians can hide the copyrighted clipart (they are supposed to first off for copyrighted clipart, not just comment. Be bold! :) ) and if the user keeps showing it when it is clearly copyrighted, then it would be time to go to the next level for that clipart and delete it. But I don't see this happening. Most people go "Oh sorry! I didn't realise it was copyrighted." <br>
<br>If we explain nicely, what is copyrighted and why, then most people will go and change it.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 2:07 PM, Leonardo Cunha <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:laobcunha@gmail.com">laobcunha@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
