Deleting comments on your profile

I can't seem to figure out how to delete comments posted by other players on my profile (if that's even possible). As it is your own profile, you should be able to remove comments, no?
A recent opponent ran out of time and I skipped their turn. They decided to complain about it on my profile, and red thumbed me afterwards. Because of this I can not respond to the comment, nor delete it.
So I'm wondering why comments by red thumbed players are not deleted automatically? I'm sure many people know about this, which makes it easy for them to comment on your profile knowing you can't do anything about it.
Please give people the possibility to manage their own profiles and delete comments they don't want displayed on their public feed. Thank you.

If it is insulting or similar, I would report it. The BGA moderation team is normally very good with moderating insulting or harassing messages. Since this is on your profile, not in chat, I would assume that they will remove the message as well.

Comments on the profile? I've never seen anything like that. Where would it be?

Go to
your profile, then to the Recent Activities tab, then My Activity. Anyone who isn't you will just see it as Recent Activity without separate tabs for Newsfeed and My Activity.

Ah, see it now, thanks. I personally wouldn't call that 'on my profile', but that admittedly may be nitpicking.

I wouldn't either, but knew what the OP meant.
I also think people grossly overestimate how interested anyone is in what's on their profile or activity feed.

Where exactly on your "profile" are you seeing this? Because another user was able to delete my random message in the Recent Activity feed. Are you seeing it somewhere else?
