To give another deviant a direct link to this FAQ answer, use the following code in your comment or forum post:

Can I remove or delete comments on my userpage, journal or deviations?

Comments cannot be deleted, however each user has the ability to Hide comments left on any of their personal areas only.

To hide a comment you will need to visit the comment you wish to hide and click on the link entitled Hide, located next to the posting time stamp. By clicking this link the comment in question will collapse, leaving only a place keeping box in its place, which will allow you as the owner of the page to un-hide the comment if you like in the future.

Hiding:
Hiding


Un-Hiding:

We recommend you use this tool to settle minor issues which do not require administrative action.

If you feel someone is truly harassing or threatening you please report it to the Help Desk.

deviantART administrators will have the option to reveal and read comments which are hidden and do have the option to lock comments anywhere on site into the hidden, collapsed state and this procedure will be preformed on selected comments where the staff judges it necessary.
