If he got in the habit of telling you if there's nothing there, then when he would refuse to tell you if there was something and you would know if there was something.
@hichris123 You do realize that in that time CMs hover over the site like Jeff Atwood does over the house of a person who posts a bug about pluralization?
On many SE sites it is common practice to delete comments that became "obosolete" and there is a flag reason for this. On a few other sites (especially MO) this is not done (or at least not much).
What should be the common practice regarding deletion of obsolete comments on MESE?

Here's some advice (puts on mod cap... not literally, yet): It'll be hard to get mod on a site that you're not enthusiastic about. It's like putting you on the moderator team of Ask Different. You should want to be a moderator to help out a site, not just to get a diamond on one site that you're not enthusiastic about.
I guess you could be enthusiastic about educating people with math, but IDK :D
There have been several meta posts that received net downvotes, including:
Would this recent MSE question be on topic on MESE?
What is the definition of a "soft question" in MESE?
Is it really odd to use the abbreviation "ME" for Mathematics Educators SE?

I refer you to the commenting privilege page:
Comments are temporary "Post-It" notes left on a question or answer. They can be up-voted (but not down-voted) and flagged, but do not generate reputation. There's no revision history, and when they are deleted they're gone for good.

I'm the one that deleted the comments. Here's the chain:
They were flagged as obsolete, and I deleted them. There's a nice short answer on mSO about obsolete comments:
Comments are, by their very nature, transitional. Flagging helps keep them under control and tidied up.
Basically, a co...
Not all of them mind you, just Meta Stack Overflow into Meta Stack Exchange.
I'll have you know, factually, that we really did believe this would take place in six-to-eight weeks when it was originally announced, but we've finally got a tentative date established.

The first part of this is done: Not an Answer flags now feed into the Low Quality review queue. This was mostly implemented as described in the proposal above, but since that was written as an implementation guide here's a somewhat more readable summary of the rules:

Since we got minitech as a mod (yay!), lots of people have been getting review banned (and rightfully so).
Many of these people come to Meta to complain/ask about it. When they do, they seem to be thrown off by the current reason that shows up:
You have failed too many recent review audits, ...
Pay attention for products by ABBYY:
ABBYY Mobile OCR Engine is highly-accurate OCR SDK. It supports Android and iOS, works on device.
ABBYY Cloud OCR SDK is platform-independent OCR SDK, works in cloud.
The UI now prompts you for a custom message when banning a user:
This is optional - but if you do enter a message, it will be displayed to the user if they try to review anything within the ban period:
Please note that if you're going to take the time to do this, you should strive to be as ...
@Undo I'm stuck setting up the key. I setup the key with PuTTY and the file on Ubuntu, but it's not working. I'm assuming it something on the Ubuntu side.
I installed flash on my ubuntu 12.04 with this commande : sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
It worked, but then the display is complety messed-up. Here a screen shot with how it displays on Windows, and then on Ubuntu :

I've heard that apt has some a fancy colour and progress bar feature, but that I have to manually enable it.
How do I do this?
