[openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website] Suggestion: People should be able to delete comments from their own diary entry, and turn off commenting (#1989)

[Rory McCann]

Hi all, here's something I suggest, and I wonder what other people think about it before I go off and make a patch:

"People should be able to delete comments from their own diary entry, and turn off commenting"

Should I work on that patch? Should this be implemented at all? Currently nearly all the comments on diary entries are fine, but I worry about continuing the "anyone can comment on anything" current system. We're leaving the OSM diary system open to spam, to harassment, to abuse. Let's close that loophole. "Don't read the comments" is a common quote for a reason. In my opinion, the diary belongs to that user account, it's their space, their blog post. They should be allowed to control what happens on that page. They should have full control to get rid of any comment they don't want.  Anyone who can comment can also write their own diary entry, and refer to the original post. So there is always a way to "reply" to something in the OSM diary system.
