Whats frustrating is I would have had no idea it was deleted- and just assumed it wasn’t interesting to anyone, had I not checked after reading the above. I’d much rather be told to delete the relevant portions of the comment- lets at least have precise censorship!
Wow. Even the people being censored don’t know it. That’s kinda creepy!
his comment led me to discover that quite a long comment I made a little bit ago had been deleted entirely.
How did you work out that it had been deleted? Just by logging out, looking and trying to remember where you had stuff posted?
I think it’s a standard tool: trollish comments look like being ignored to the trolls. But I think it’s impolite to delete comments made in good faith without notification and usable guidelines for cleaning up and reposting. (Hint hint.)

I only made one comment on the subject and I was rather confused that it was being ignored. I also knew I might have said too much about the Roko post and actually included a sentence saying that if I crossed the line I’d appreciate being told to edit it instead of having the entire thing deleted. So I just checked that one comment in particular. If other comments of mine have been deleted I wouldn’t know about it, though this was the only comment in which I have discussed the Roko post.

I doubt that this is a deliberate feature.
