I have seen more and more comments like thislike this recently:

It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question, see the FAQ.

This is just an example, there are other members doing this too. Sometimes the comments contains just the link, sometimes a short quote.

That’s not helpful.

I think comments should explain how this specific question could be improved. Telling someone (usually a new member) to read some site without any further hint is on the edge of being rude in my opinion.

Only moderators can delete other people’s comments. Should we do that in such cases?
