Not to mention that a policy of deleting comments for “readability” brings up many potential issues in and of itself. If someone posts in African American Vernacular English/Newfie English/language creoles etc, or doesn’t have proper wording because they’re not a native English speaker, or has lots of spelling mistakes because of dyslexia/learning disabilities, or the like, are those going to be moderated away for “readability”?
(And I’m not referring to “first”, “same”, or other one-word responses).
