I think that managers and owners in a studio should be allowed to remove comments from the studio. Just like on you profile and projects.

This applies with studio owners as well, I think. Support, as I don't understand why this is so.

Also I'm sure this may be a duplicate, just not sure where.

Of course

I think it should be just the owner.

Can't managers already do this? No support.

EDIT: If I'm wrong, then support.

I think this is also a duplicate, but I'm tired and can't find the link.

No, I don't think they can.

Sigton

Sigton is right they can't.

I agree!!

Yeah, they can't.

Bump

As per Austinato and MJP, this is possibly a duplicate, but I'm too lazy to find the link.

Also, support, since I don't know why managers can't delete studio comments.

BUMP

I support because sometimes studio comments need to be removed such as comments not relevant to the studio.

Sigton

Meh, sometimes owners become inactive, so the Managers are the ones that keep it alive. But support.

That's why I think that both owners and managers should be able to delate comments in the studio.

Don't worry, I have found a duplicate: https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/discuss/topic/50490/
Edit: There seems to be a few duplicates.

Also, I found this:

Responding to that statement by Paddle, wouldn't that apply to any comments other than studios? Like profiles, and projects?

I think using studios would be the easiest way to have a conversation. If it was on profiles or projects, some people won't find it. If someone posts on a few users' profiles to go to a page for a conversation, it would probably be reported soon because there would be more links that lead to the page with the conversation. Also, all managers can delete comments in a studio but only one person and the ST could delete comments on a profile or project, so comments in studios are much more likely to be deleted.

But if people really want to have A secret conversations than they'll just use projects and profiles. Just as a side note if the conversations where nice ( I know they probably where not but still) Than whats the problem?

If there is only one person and the ST to delete comments, it would be much better. The problem is probably that a manager than comment something mean and then quickly delete it when someone sees it. If only one person can do that, the chance that a secret conversation happens is much lower. Only allowing the owner to delete comments might be a good idea as Sigton mentioned.

However, the owner sometimes be inactive.

I think that only the owner should be allowed to delete comments, but the owner should also be allowed to invite any manager to take over as the owner.

Edit: The name of “owner” should probably also be changed because keeping it as “owner” would confuse people.

Edit: Another rule might be that the owner cannot delete his/her own comments. This makes sure that the owner does not write something mean and then keep it secret. People could use alt accounts, but the IP address could be detected. Although people could still use proxies, this might be a good rule in my opinion.

Support for these ideas.
