Add a right for roles to delete their own comments ONLY

At the moment, the roles have under general permissions, in the comments section the ability to "Delete Comments". This option enables the role to delete ALL comments, not just their own comments. This causes a lot of issues, because the system cannot track who deleted the comments either, and we end up with users that mistakenly delete comments created by other users. AND If we remove the "Delete Comments" right, they cannot delete their own comments, so we're between a rock and a hard place here...

Can we please have an additional option for comments. Convert the existing one into a Delete My Comments option and add a new one that enables the user to delete all comments. Similar to Edit all comments and Edit my comments.

The options currently look like:

Add Comment

Delete Comments

Edit all comments

Edit my comments

View comments


We just need the delete comments option split into 2, and it would look like the below:

Add Comment

Delete all Comments

Delete my comments

Edit all comments

Edit my comments

    This sounds like a practical way to deal with comments more effectively

    I think this can be something very easy and fast to implement...
