23h	comment	How to hide warning post_max_size exceeded? @SetSailMedia It's very often not an option to edit php.ini, and even then it's not always a good idea to remove the limit. Your link merely speaks to increasing the limit. In order to never have this error occur you'd have to remove it entirely.
2d	comment	Prevent posts with links to jsfiddle and no code I will add though that I believe your post is a decent (but rare) example of linking to jsfiddle without really requiring code in the post. If you'd like to bring this up in a more constructive manner and in a separate post, I think you'd have some support.
2d	comment	Prevent posts with links to jsfiddle and no code It's fine that you worked around it, no one cares. The benefits of this feature *far* outweigh the occasional annoyance of it.
May 22	comment	Odd box in chrome I noticed in Win7 Chrome it goes away when you resize the window. Not a solution, I know, but maybe a lead...
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question OK, fair enough. I disagree but don't care enough about this issue to discuss it any more.
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @GeorgeStocker I just don't like that you dismiss my idea based on knowledge that you don't actually have (the complexity of the code and actual cost of implementation) rather than on the merit of the idea itself. To be honest, I think nuking the comments alone is good enough, but locking the post seems like a clumsy heavy-handed solution.
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @Servy I'm not saying it's one line of code, you guys are being too literal. I'm saying it would be worth the time, and certainly not overly complex. It's a small feature that solves an apparently relevant problem. Why do you guys care about that anyways, you aren't the ones responsible for the code. If it's a good idea, let the devs ponder it.
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @GeorgeStocker Sounds like you're merely playing devil's advocate for the developers. The point is that the current system has many faults. I don't buy that it's a "performance" issue.
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @GeorgeStocker You mean complex for the developers? Really? Hey if you guys need help you can just ask on SO ;) Or did you mean complex for the moderators? Seems rather easy to me from both perspectives. `if (User.isMuted) return false;` You can comment again in 14 minutes.
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @GeorgeStocker What is complex about my idea?
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @GeorgeStocker It's not a feature request, just an alternative idea. I don't see how it's complex, lots of sites have "mute" features. Just take away the users comment privilege for a short amount of time (as if they had less than 50 rep). Punish only the users involved.

May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @Servy Once again, that is utterly besides the point. That's not what a lock is for, unless I'm mistaken. Am I? Do you feel the question should remain locked? Why?
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @Servy That's not for anyone but the OP to decide. If he wants to leave it open for another answer, he should have the right to. There's no point in leaving it locked any longer.
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @Servy Yes, really. "You have a good enough answer IMO" is no reason for a mod to prevent more from being added, prevent the question from being edited, or prevent it from being voted on. What's the harm in unlocking it at this point?
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @Servy That's really got nothing to do with it.
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question @Servy The point here though, is that the OP is being "punished" for something he had no control over or involvement in. It seems unfair - do you agree? In addition, isn't 3 hours enough time for folks to "cool down"?
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question It works every time I've seen it happen. Usually something like {nuke comments} "Hey guys I got a lotta flags here, let's keep it on topic and civil".
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question No it wouldn't require the mod checking up, and it would send a clear message to the users involved. Is 2 hours enough time to let the users "cool down"? Because that's how long it's been.
May 20	comment	Remove comments instead of locking the question Why are people downvoting this? The OP had nothing to do with the argument.
