How are we supposed to give feedback for poor questions if such comments are deleted?
The question https://software.codidact.com/posts/281517 is currently voted at -3. I wrote several comments to explain why, so the author can hopefully ask better questions in the future. This morning, I found all but the first of these comments deleted without warning. Alexei gave the following reason: > I have removed the comments that are not relevant. Please use comments to ask for clarifications or generally speaking, to improve the question. Taken literally, this means that we are not allowed to tell people why a question is downvoted, because that's neither a clarification, nor intended to improve this question. How are people supposed to learn how to ask better questions if we are not allowed to give them feedback? Also, I spent quite a bit of time writing these comments, which is now wasted. If you disagree with my comments, could you ask me about them *before* deleting them?
