| Jun 19, 2020 at 10:03 | comment | added | Flimm | These "thank you" comments do bring something of value to the site. A heartfelt thank you message means a lot more to me than an upvote. | |
| Jun 18, 2020 at 10:55 | comment | added | Dharman Mod | @IsmaelMiguel I purposefully said short comments with Thanks in them, which we can nuke ourselves without moderators. I never want to give moderators more work than necessary. I agree that short comments can have meaning and are useful. I don't encourage deleting comments based solely on the length. You must have misunderstood that paragraph. I was talking about letting the other person know that we read their comment by posting easily deletable reply-comment. If the comment is short and has a keyword in it, we can delete it without moderators help. | |
| Jun 18, 2020 at 10:50 | comment | added | Ismael Miguel | Your criteria was based on length. While putting meaning into code is impossible, there are comments that have a short length but lots of information that's important. And long ones that are just fluff. Also: "When we reply we expect the person to remove the original comment and nuke ours." <-- this nuking can only be done by the moderators, who already have a lot on their plate. You're just adding more for them if you expect comments to be removed like that. But there are situations where this makes sense (like, say, for a comment about something to fix that no longer applies can be flagged). | |
| Jun 18, 2020 at 10:46 | comment | added | Dharman Mod | @IsmaelMiguel Please read the context. I meant comments only saying "Thanks, I have updated the answer" | |
| Jun 18, 2020 at 10:44 | comment | added | Ismael Miguel | "[...] comments under 50 UTF-16 code units long can be easily nuked." <-- I disagree. Saying "Thank you, but it still causes the same error." is 46 characters long and has a lot of important information. Saying "Thank you, it now works. I'm upvoting and accepting your answer." could be removed after some time, and has no meaningfull content despite being 64 characters long. | |
