That seems unfair. By that logic, if a user leaves a messy remark filled with poor formatting & mangled English that takes up an obscene amount of whitespace (I've seen 'em), the page author cannot have the comment removed unless it's a Participation Policy violation. The professionalism of the entire page suffers since "text graffiti" like that is visible on the main page & not hidden on a separate talk page away from the content. Some users may even be dissuaded from reading the article if they encounter many such remarks.

I think the moderation of comments should be left to the author's discretion, the way it was when we used talk pages. That way the administration does not have to make any subjective judgment calls & the general userbase is further empowered to govern their articles as they see fit. I dislike comments that don't offer specific praise or constructive criticism but other users may not care. In either case, the user should be the one to make the judgment call, not the administration. Thoughts?
