Can I edit/delete/screen a comment I posted or that was posted in my journal?

Although journal entries can be edited OR deleted ( see http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=2 ), comments on journal entries can ONLY be deleted or screened, not edited.

You can delete a comment if one of the following is true:
1) You posted the comment yourself.
2) Someone else posted the comment in your journal.
3) Someone else posted the comment in a community journal which you maintain.

Respectively, you must be logged in ( http://www.livejournal.com/login.bml ) as the poster of the comment, the owner of the journal, or the maintainer of the community to delete a comment.

To delete a comment, click the button with the red "X" on it, and confirm your intention to delete the comment. The next page you see should report that the deletion was successful.


You can screen a comment if one of the following is true:
1) Someone else posted the comment in your journal.
2) Someone else posted the comment in a community journal which you maintain.
3) You, or someone else, posted the comment to an entry you made in a community journal.

Respectively, you must be logged in ( http://www.livejournal.com/login.bml ) as the owner of the journal, or the maintainer of the community to screen a comment.

To screen a comment, click the eye icon with the red line through it, and confirm your intention to screen the comment. The next page you see should report that the screening was successful. Full details on the comment screening option can be viewed at:
