Topic: Removed Comments???

I've noticed that the amount of comments being removed for being unconstructive has increased a lot. I was wondering if there was some form of policy change or new rules that we should be aware of because I, and many others, have noticed this increase. I know there have always been comments that have had to be removed but it feels like now there are a few on every article. I'll specifically point out that the Emora Kart article has 3 removed comments.

Just curious what's happening.

@Blooper987 we have perhaps been stricter at enforcing our rules, but the main change is that comments are left in place with a "Removed" message, rather than before where they were deleted (and therefore no longer visible) which may explain why you feel it's happening "more" — actually it's just being more transparent about which are being removed, and why.

@antdickens Thanks for answering! I kinda thought it would be something like that but it's nice having confirmation.

It might also be worth mentioning that our moderation is heavily based on what the users report.

Well I know back in the Pratt comment section I few of those comments got removed, Thank goodness to, Stopped an all out war.

@YusseiWarrior3000 LOL, Well thanks to the mods, the one about the new garfield movie, was so much better.

@antdickens I really like this change.
