Hey mods! What's the policy regarding deleting retarded and useless comments? Stuff like post #148353 and post #124984.

Please add post #41568 and post #44013 to your list.
I personally kill stupid comments, unless it would disrupt the context of later, useful and/or amusing comments (like in post #148353). But recently I also decided that just deleting doesn't work, because you can't see the deleted comments, so there's no stats to track, and I see repeated offenders happily spewing their drivel, so I decided a more generous application of banhammer is needed. So an especially useless, badly written and annoying comment earns a short-term block, particularly if the commenter had no other useful contributions (I'm much more forgiving for established members). We'll see how well it works, so far it seems that 6/day is the number of the b(east|ans).
