showing removed comments and edits are huge privacy issue. you don't know why the comment was removed, or why it was edited.



Time machine doesn't need to mean seeing deleted comments. I think it would be neat if you could see what the front-page look like at certain times.


I believe they're referencing the part of the comment right before they brought up time machine, where it's mentioned that they'd like to see deleted comments and an edit history.

I agree with the sentiment, users who delete their own comments should have their privacy respected. Same goes for edits.


People should speak with conviction. People who frequently remove/edit their comments have problems. Write the comment and be done with it.
