Comment deletion is a prickly issue. Here, we’re talking about deleting human-added comments (no bot spam here) that are too promotional or deceptively promotional (e.g. promotion of products you’ve raised in your post, but in an unrelated or deceptive manner), are very offensive (as in filled with extremities, racial abuse, etc.), and the like.
