| Sep 6, 2017 at 6:00 | comment | added | Daniel B | ? I’m not talking about discussuions. I’m also not talking about a question not containing information present in comments. | |

| Sep 5, 2017 at 21:28 | comment | added | Daniel B | But they do. The author even responded to me. All that is gone now. Had I not seen the notification soon enough, I would never have noticed. I very much disagree with this style of handling comments. Commenting on questions helps me track them. When those comments are deleted, I simply cannot do so in an efficient manner. IMHO, the Favorites feature wasn't made for that purpose either. | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 20:30 | comment | added | Ramhound | If the question was updated, then the comments do not serve a purpose, and were likely flagged. New information should be included in the question not in a comment. Comments should be deleted if they themselves contain information that also exist in the question itself. Our goal as reviewers should be that, there are no comments, and all information is supplied in the question itself. | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 20:05 | comment | added | Daniel B | Hm, could be. I don’t think they’re redundant though because they provide history. I also cannot easily follow up on the question anymore because my comment on it and all notifications are gone now. | |

| Sep 5, 2017 at 17:05 | comment | added | Andrew T. | Are the comments considered "no longer needed" (one of the comment flag reason) for future readers? | |
