Well, I'm going through alot of my comments, and alot of them seem to be spammy. I started taking a little time each day to delete some comments. The annoying thing is, each time I go to my comment page and delete a comment, it sends me straight back to my profile. Sure, the comment is gone, but I seriously do not like having to press the same buttons over and over again.

I would like to see a instant commenting deleter, such as deleting a comment and it disappearing before your very eyes. This would help me and alot of other folks that don't like spam on their profiles out.

I have a little shortcut. In the middle of your mouse you have a wheel. If you click a link with it, it opens up another tab. Click all the spam comments you want to delete and then close all your tabs and done!

I don't really understand that Juan.

@Zophia

Not quite the same. I have no memory of seeing this idea in the forums yet.

@flappybob:
I guess you're right about the idea of them disappearing instantaneously haven't been suggested before... Good idea then!

@juan:
Does that really work? Hmm, I'll try it next time I need to delete stuff...

it's so easy that it substitutes the mass deleting feature!

Yeah that could be great but the coding would be hard.

I guess that really is a great trick~
Though it's not so easy with a touchpad. But my stylus' secondary button is set to middle mouse button (wheel click), so that should work. Or right click, open in new tab...

Funny thing about AG, because of the simple structure users have to find alternative solutions that are not actual parts of the site. It makes us think.

Haven't I heard about not even moderators being able to mass delete properly? Or do I remember incorrectly?

Hmm Juan.... I'll try that.

Not most users know that, though. I wish there were some simpler way to do it.

Moderators can already do that. You can ask a mod to mass delete comments.

I do that all the time. I showed my dad, and he was amazed.

no actually it is annoying how the page sends you back to your profile after you've deleted a comment, I wish there was a "Delete All Comments" option that would make things a lot better and faster.
