Your comment is wrong and rude.

Oh look, I just did some social janitorial work. Was your comment somehow deleted by my act?

Should I presume that Convo provides no moderation mechanisms because they would constitute censorship?

You called someone on the Internet "wrong" and "rude", which is about as far as you can get from "work" without losing consciousness.


I took "social janitorial work" to mean cleaning up other peoples' comments, which really isn't possible without altering or deleting them.

If it was used to mean "indicating disapproval", then I have absolutely no problem with it.


The original context was:

> "Regardless of gender, because karma exists, people'd rather not risk their worthless points over being the guy that says "Hey, that's not cool." Social janitorial work isn't pretty..."

Which doesn't read like it implies editing or deletion.
