Can I edit/delete/screen a comment I posted or that was posted in my journal?

Although journal entries can be edited OR deleted (see http://www.JournalFen.net/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=2), comments on journal entries can ONLY be deleted or screened, not edited.

You can delete a comment if one of the following is true:

1) You posted the comment yourself.
2) Someone else posted the comment in your journal.
3) Someone else posted the comment in a community journal which you maintain.
4) You, or someone else, posted the comment to an entry you made in a community journal.

Depending on where the comment is, you must be logged in (http://www.JournalFen.net/login.bml) as the poster of the comment, the owner of the journal, or the maintainer of the community to delete a comment.

To delete a comment, click the button with the red "X" on it, and confirm your intention to delete the comment. The next page you see should report that the deletion was successful.


You can screen a comment if one of the following is true:

1) Someone else posted the comment in your journal.
2) Someone else posted the comment in a community journal which you maintain.
3) You, or someone else, posted the comment to an entry you made in a community journal.

Depending on where the comment is, you must be logged in (http://www.JournalFen.net/login.bml) as the owner of the journal, or the maintainer of the community to screen a comment.

To screen a comment, click the eye icon with the red line through it, and confirm your intention to screen the comment. If the screening is successful, you will be taken to a page that reports the success. Full details on the comment screening option can be viewed at http://www.JournalFen.net/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=134. To unscreen a screened comment, click the eye icon (which doesn't have a red line through it), and confirm your intention to unscreen the comment.


If you wish to delete, screen, or unscreen more than one comment at a time, you can use the "Mass Action" option at the bottom of the comment page. Select the comments you wish to perform the action upon by checking the boxes at the right of the eye icon, and then use the drop down box at the bottom of the page to select the action you wish to perform. Confirm your choice by clicking the "Perform Action" button.

When you use the "Mass Action" option, you will not receive a confirmation screen as you would if you chose to perform the actions on comments individually. Be especially careful when choosing to mass delete comments, as there is no way to retrieve them once they have been deleted.
