Category: Software Status: Closed Priority: 5 Summary: Deleting comments in bug reports? By: earl Date: Sun 10/05/2003 at 22:53 Logged In: YES user_id=1225 Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624 I under reservations about the ability to delete "history", but my request would be restricted to project admins, who already could do complete damage to a project. Also, what is meant by "history"? Tracking all changes to a particular item? CVS allows the removal of revisions, so what makes bug reports any more special than a CVS repository. To me, it appears the commenting feature has a similiar feel as forum software, and an administrator should have the right to remove inappropriate comments. Note, there could be potential legal consequences. A malicious user could post any kind of text (and images) to a bug, and if such text and/or images have liabilities concerns, or violate laws, there should be a mechanism in place that allows deletion of such date beyond hand-crafting SQL queries. I do request that the offending text of bug #4719 of the mhonarc project be removed since it does pollute the legitimate bug history, and since I do not know what it says, I prefer to get rid of it. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- By: yeupou Date: Sun 10/05/2003 at 07:43 Logged In: YES user_id=1896 Browser: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020623 Debian/1.0.0-0.woody.1 I'm sure to be really confortable with the idea of providing a way to erase history. In fact, I suspect a bigger risk of malicious behavior if we provide an erase feature. If this bugger comment still harms your project, we will remove it from the database by an SQL command (tell us if you feel it necessary).
