I was certain that eltaco would reply my comment because he knows he have a role in this stoty. But, i guess all the other moderators didn’t care or don’t want to answer the two questions directed to them and for that, thanks eltaco for taking your time for making a comment.
I also was expecting that you would avoid to answer the direct questions and double down with half truths but, like the old saying says “telling half truths doesn’t make you a half honest person”. I will explain it in seperate comment.
What valid info can i take from your comment. Now i know it wasn’t only one moderator that actively refused my direct request to remove a couple of comments of mine that have zero reactions with no interactions. Only this forum that this sort of thing happens and even remove them can be considered as “dirty deleting” (???) and could “hurt the community”. Just let point it out again, asking to remove your own comments with zero likes can “hurt the community”. Of course i don’t want this lovely community being hurt so, in my good faith i will rely on you to never, ever remove those four comments as a noble gesture from my side, end of story.

Generally users are allowed a short window after creating a post to do their own edits or delete. After that moderators need to modify posts. This prevents some instances of abuse that we've dealt with in the past where users were editing their posts to sneak in illegal or malicious content after a post has received enough reaction to be trusted by the average user. It also prevents people from hurting the community be deleting popular posts or threads in a "I'm taking my ball and going home" kind of situation.
You were posting content in a help thread and then asking mods to dirty delete content if you didn't get a Medal reaction. This is a community and we're here to help each other and getting upset that less active users aren't giving you the maximum thanks is petty behavior.
We're happy to edit or delete posts that have bad/outdated information or broken links or delete the occasional post just because. When it becomes several requests a day to delete what appears to be useful text posts it feels more like abusive behavior and bad faith posting.
