Quote - I hate the fact that if someone does this on your gallery, you can't delete or get rid of their comment (or bite their head off so they'd stay away), or block them, but just have to take it. :-
I have very low tolerance for people whom can't critique or get their point across without making you feel like crap.

I would like the ability to delete comments in my own gallery too. Not that I would use it very often because I'm not easily offended when it comes to what people post in my gallery.
However, there was a situation years back where someone carried over their disagreement with me from the forums into my gallery, and literally did troll several of my images in their attempt to try and push their agenda,  which I did not appreciate at all.

I remember that I did contact a staff member about it and explained how those comments came to be in my gallery, and was told that there was nothing wrong with the comments and therefore they would not be deleted!    IMHO who are they to say they shouldn't be deleted when they aren't aware of the context or reason they were put there in the first place? I found them offensive and that's all that should matter.

Now had those comments just been randomly put there, I would have rolled my eyes and left it at that. But because I know the person went from a heated forum discussion directly to my gallery and the comments were made based on the forum thread, indicated to me that there was a personal agenda involved.

Back when the site changed to php, there was a brief window where we actually did have the ability to delete comments from our own gallery, and I took the opportunity to delete those few comments made by that one person. I haven't felt the need or desire to delete any others before or since.

If only the staff have access to the delete button, then when they are asked to delete a gallery comment, they should do it without question.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
