Why can't he just edit his own comment?

Well - would making it 'private' until the deletion work for him?

arkibott, there is no hiding/deleting comment UI today. I believe there's a bug filed for it, and we actually put it up for consideration in the 3.0 plan.

I think, some people would appreciate hiding/deleting comments in launchpad. And kindly asking for removal looks like extra work for the maintainers :) If it get's into the future version of launchpad.. it willl be allright.

Or even more granular like - private, private for subscribers, private for security, world, people with login.
If you remember the Bug # regarding this.. ?

It would be really useful to be able to nuke a bug report under some circumstances: for example, suppose you are the one who posted it, you didn't word it exactly right, and nobody else has added to it, or even has seen it yet.

Under those circumstances, it should be utterly safe to have it removed and expunged.

You certainly don't want to bother a maintainer with a request to remove it---they would rightfully say that your spelling or grammar error is not a community concern.

But if there was just some way to remove it it would be nice.

And it wouldn't have to clutter up the gui---it could be something in the URL, like '&remove=1'.
