Avoid JIRA comments deletion

[Dmitriy Pavlov]

Hi Igniters,

What do you think about deletion of comment in JIRA tickets? I constantly
see that participants add comments, and then delete them.

IMO , we have partially lost the history of problem research, and we can
lose interesting ideas about the problem causes; or already tested
hypotheses.

I understand that the commentary may be outdated, but it can be underlined
by the second comment, which speaks about it explicitly.

Please share your vision.

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov

[Igor Sapego-2]

I totally agree. There is no sense in most cases in deletion
of commentaries.

There is even less sense, when you can look into ticket
history and see all the removed comments anyway.

Best Regards,
Igor

+1 Dmitriy,

I do not see any reason for deletion comments.
Maybe only edit operation must be allowed.

Folks,

Let me disagree with you.

As you've mentioned, there is a history of changes for an issue, so nothing
can be lost. Comment deletions can be useful to maintain clear path of
issue evolution. For me, it's ok to delete misleading comments, but this
should be done with care, of course.

+1 to Andrey's point.

Do we really have any problems with comment's deletion?

I think: if a contributor will make a decision to remove a comment and
will not be able to do this he just will edit the comment with the
message *deleted*.

Agree, comments deletion is perfectly normal operation.
What are we trying to solve?

Hi Vladimir,

I receive a number of such emails, then contributor deletes data. This is
valueable information about ticket history.

I'm not sure what are we trying to solve using this, as you said, perfectly
normal operation - deleting comments. Could you provide cases?

Sincerely,
Dmitriy Pavlov

People make mistakes. Sometimes I can edit comment. Sometimes I can delete
it if I understand it makes no sense. If I do this then I think that
comment adds no value.  If you restrict removal, then users would use
"Edit" and print something like "comment was removed". Same thing.

Again - what is the problem being solved?

I do not suggest to restrict removal using JIRA rights, it is not
reasonable.

I ask contributors to avoid such practice. In a number of cases it doesn't
make any sense and confuses community members.
