Big foot comments are gone

  • dtrucken by dtrucken

    Yesterday there were a bunch of comments about this image, today only one. Is this intentional, or is there some data loss problem? (Certainly I understand if the comments get cleared from time to time, especially on training images. I'm just wondering if the comments on all images are cleansed?)

    I removed one comments in this thread that I deemed as spam (It contained external links to a non-astronomical page, that appeared to have no relevance to the topic). PM me if you wish to discuss this.

    If there was more than 1 comment by yourself, then there might be bug with the remove feature.

    I think there were several comments, none were scientifically important. I was just wondering if there was a policy of cleansing comments on training images to keep new folks seeing them from being distracted...

    No - there is no policy 😃 but it is an excellent point you bring up and I will mention it to Phil and the others.

    Should we try to keep the image comments as clean as possible? At what point would you class a comment as being irrelevant or distracting to other users. Mmmm, a very loaded question.

    Also, are users reading all the previous comments, or just posting there own and going back to classify? Also, how many users are actually aware of / and make use of the discussion threads?

    As for myself I like reading lighthearted comments under the images - this board is not just about science - we are also trying to built a friendly online community of Lens enthusiasts 😃

    Forgot to add - I will report the bug to the Talk developers 😃 Never would of found it if you hadn't posted your question!

    ok. Hmm, I hope we don't enter into an alliance with www.bfro.net (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization). In all seriousness, perhaps the simulation does look too much like a foot!

    Wow, is there really a group that researches them? Learn something new everyday!

    Btw, only the blue bits are the sim - the actual foot is all real 😃

    I like the colours that the nails are painted 😃
