This has already been declined.
This is in the sticky, The inability to delete your comments everywhere is put in place so users do not post inappropriate comments or spam comments on other users' profiles, projects, or studios, just to delete them later on. In contrast, you are not really likely to spam your own projects or profile. The only benefits to this are to remove comments that you did not mean to post and to fix spelling errors. The former could be solved by thinking carefully before posting any comments, and the latter could be worked around by typing slowly and/or stating your mistakes in a reply to the comment. This also applies to forum posts; that is, a feature for Scratchers to delete their own forum posts will not be implemented.The Official List of Rejected Suggestions.
Editing comments could similarly lead to comment manipulation, such as a user commenting “I like this project,” waiting until someone replies with “I agree,” and then editing the original comment to say “I hate this project.” Allowing Scratch Team members to view the edit history of a comment does not make it easy to moderate, since then they have to look carefully at the context of each edit, which takes time.

See, the reason this would be declined would be if someone gets mad for not view their message because it was “deleted”, that would not end well. Besides, ignoring it is the best thing possible. If it breaks community guidelines, this may discourage people from reporting and just delete the message.[s]Really? I guess all of humanity's problems are solved!

Also just FYI if someone says “support” it normally means they agree with your idea or have positive feelings about your post

We know, and that by itself is not allowed anymore. One must now explain why. Also just FYI if someone says “support” it normally means they agree with your idea or have positive feelings about your post

I can see how you managed to misunderstand the OP initially, but insisting that it's rejected (even when it's not) despite multiple people correcting you? Guys, I did.

But how effective is answering a question when the recipient user isn't going to see it?Why are you complaining about it? It's acceptable to reply to an old post.Why did you reply to an old post?They support the suggestion.AND WHAT DO YOU GUYS MEAN BY “SUPPORT”? Support.
And I don't recall it being acceptable to reply to an old post for that reason. If you want to answer it for any future users that want an answer to the question, just state so.
