If the comment doesn't make it out of pending in a day, what happens to it and its poster then?
Edit: Deletion is currently possible for less than that (2 hours?). Will this be different for pending comments?
- pg 13y agoYes, deletion is possible for a pending comment as long as it's pending.
- networked 13y agoI see. You said above that a comment only has a day to make it out of pending. Why not auto-delete it when it doesn't? Edit: Never mind that question. Based on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7446005 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7446005 this seems to be the case (i.e., you won't have to delete a failed pending comment manually). On a related note, the new system may prevent people from posting in the feature suggestion thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=363). Since it's already a special thread that never closes for comments perhaps comments posted there should not be made pending.
