You can, and the reply would remain. The tree then looks like this: comment1 [deleted] comment3 However, you can delete comments only until a certain amount of time. If you wait too long, you can't delete anymore (and this is what happened here).

That's how it used to work, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that anymore.

  I wonder if I'm the only one who is annoyed by the continuing lack of transparency at HN, wasting my time and other people's time with guesswork like this. I just took the time to start an "Ask HN" entry on that topic: "Ask HN: Where can I follow the changes of HN itself?" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13460588 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13460588

    While that "Ask HN" entry got quite a few upvotes, this comment received downvotes. Why is that? Could anyone explain what's wrong with this comment?
