- @djechlin yes, I tend to write a lot of background because I am expecting people to read. :-) I have highlighted the highlights for you.Aaron Bertrand– Aaron Bertrand Staff2013-05-15 18:02:45 +00:00Commented May 15, 2013 at 18:02

- 6+1 for the Your Comment has Been Addressed notification and the removal of the 5 second throttle.Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight– Dan Is Fiddling By Firelight2013-05-20 14:36:22 +00:00Commented May 20, 2013 at 14:36
- The only issue I see with this "cleanup +1" is that there is no way of determining if the comment is meaningful so a user could just go and post one meaningless comment on a whole bunch of questions, then go back through their comments and delete. 50 questions with one meaningless comment removed = +50 rep.Diminutive Colossus– Diminutive Colossus2015-05-31 23:08:11 +00:00Commented May 31, 2015 at 23:08
- @humble.rumble Maybe the comment has to exist for a certain period of time, without having been flagged, before it can earn a user 1 rep. That way if it's nonsense it will be flagged or moderated away long before that. And I mean really, there are so many more productive ways to game the system...Aaron Bertrand– Aaron Bertrand Staff2015-06-01 00:13:55 +00:00Commented Jun 1, 2015 at 0:13
- Here's an idea comments have to be by answering users for the user to get the +1. That way if an answer is deleted because its not an answer the user wouldn't get a +1 either.Diminutive Colossus– Diminutive Colossus2015-06-01 00:55:18 +00:00Commented Jun 1, 2015 at 0:55

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. stack-overflow), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
