While I'm a big fan of deleting/flagging comments, I see lots of value in comments many times. So I don't think auto-removing every comment after 48 hours or 2 months for that matter is the right thing to do. What I would propose instead is one or all of these processes being implemented: The ...

Blog - Stack Exchange: Comments: Now with Flags and Votes

11:22 AM

Jeff Atwood on April 16, 2009

In tonight’s code push, we added the ability to vote for comments, and flag comments if they are inappropriate.

Some ground rules:

There is no downvoting of comments, only upvotes. Comment votes do not affect comment sort order. No reputation of any kind is earned or lost from comment votes. Each user gets 5 comment flag votes, and 30 comment upvotes, per day. If a comment is flagged by enough users it will be auto-soft-deleted. There is no penalty for this.. yet. Flagged comments will be surfaced to moderators, so if you have a problem with a comment, flag it. You can always delete your o …

> (your best comments will also show up in your user profile page, but this isn’t implemented yet.)

It's been five years... Where's our top comments panel?

hey guys. I haven't been on SO for a few months now. I just noticed I got downvoted on 3 seemingly random questions. All downvotes are pretty arbitrary atleast one I can say is completely unwarranted. Should I be worried I have a mass downvoter on my tail ?

Q: What is serial voting and how does it affect me?

@gideon There is a script that detects serial voting, so those downvotes will be reversed in 36 hours.

I just noticed that I lost a bunch of points from my reputation score on Stack Overflow, and I used the "reputation" tab on my user profile page to try and track down the cause. During my investigation, I noticed there was an unusual event of type "reversal". In the normal place of a question ti...

I created a chat bot for the Stack Exchange chat rooms, called FOX 9000.

Are Careers bugs and feature requests on-topic for MSO?

@rene I think they're supposed to be asked on mSE, but I'm not sure...

Yeah, me not sure either...

careers is close to SO but I see at least one got migrated to MSE

Well, Careers is specific to Stack Overflow so I don't see why it would be considered off-topic at MSO.

Q: Very large floating numbers without using math class in Java

How can you subtract a very large floating number without using math class?

java math double

... what?

Get a net and try to catch it. Hover car may or may not be useful.

@animuson while you're at it please migrate this as well to MSE .. tnx

tnx

Just how large is the number? Which exact class are you thinking of? (java.lang.Math? I'm not sure what that's giving you.) What's wrong with just double subtraction? Your question is very unclear at the moment. — Jon Skeet 2 mins ago
