How do you prevent users from deleting the comments left on their profiles?

You don't, not currently... I don't see why you wouldn't want to delete comments though, I mean, you get some drive by spammer then you have more load on your admin's to clean up...

Well... for the same reason that posts can not be edited or deleted after a certain period of time...

I was hoping to use that as a way to rate users and do not want users to delete the bad reviews... like if wanted to write something in your profile as a warning to others I would not want you to delete it... I want it there for all to see...

If all the users can delete the comments they do not like... what is the use for that?

The comments are nice for notes about merging account and similar too...

HOW ABOUT: I DO NOT WANT USERS TO DELETE MY COMMENTS?

Spam: Spammers can be deleted and here is one big problem with this software... when a user is deleted for Spamming all his posts and PM's, and member profiles comments should go...

The comments placed on the account by an administrator should not be able to be seen or accessed by the user. I'm not exactly sure what comments your referring to or where.

He means the "public comments" feature added in 7.5.x where users can post on other users profiles.

Oh, Have not even uploaded it yet and looked at it. Perhaps this is a feature I will omit for my users.

Check your profile I just added a comment for you to view.
Not in the mystuff but click on your name like you are viewing another member.

Ok, Just edit the page template and remove the delete link and this will disallow them deleting the comments.

What if they've copied that URL and are on that page? Have not tried but still might be able to do the delete just because the link is gone.

But will keep average user from doing it I'm sure.
