| Apr 28, 2016 at 19:28 | comment | added | Earthliŋ | @Lambie An obsolete comment could be a comment that doesn't make sense any longer, because it was a reply to a comment that was deleted. Or a series of comments that were suggesting a change that has been already incorporated into the answer. Or a comment that referenced happenings which were recent at the time of posting, but are old and have been forgotten since. | |

| Jul 25, 2015 at 11:46 | comment | added | brasofilo | Why this policy when the site is just starting? An extended comment thread indicates the question is alive and there are 2 or more people interested. Regular Stack users know that's just a matter of flagging and asking for a clean-up, and they know hinting new users about the site rules is important. I think worse than a polluted comment thread is the flagging system not being effective -and I don't know if it is effective or not here on PTse. | |
| Jul 17, 2015 at 15:29 | comment | added | Gabe | I absolutely agree. Obsolete comments aren't benefitial at all, and everyone should remember to delete them. But that won't always happen, and at leat with moderators you have more people with the power to clean them. | |
| Jul 17, 2015 at 15:26 | comment | added | Earthliŋ | @Gabe I don't think it hurts to keep conversational comments to a minimum, even with moderators. Cleaning up obsolete comments is a big task. On Japanese.SE, I flagged some 500 obsolete comments (of course I checked with the moderators, whether that was ok). I think it's just that much easier when everyone remembers to clean up their own comments and it'll keep the site cleaner and more accessible. (Try asking for clarification on a post that already has 26 comments.) | |
| Jul 17, 2015 at 15:04 | comment | added | Gabe | That's a valid concern, but things will certainly improve after the private beta, when the site will have moderators | |
