Re: [econsensus] Allow deleting feedback (#105)

cc-ing econsensus-discuss in case non git users wish to express opinions, plus not sure if Tom Lord gets these github notifications.

I see your point Chris. I guess you could go back and alter the rating of your feedback (eg. from Consent to Danger), but this will confuse any discussion that's taken place under that feedback so that it will no longer make much sense. My concern with allowing deletion of feedbacks is what to do with any related comments, do we delete them too? Or prevent deletion of feedbacks if they've been commented on? Or leave the comments visible but without the context feedback item? The latter would be the equivalent of just deleting the content of the feedback as is possible currently. 

I can see the logic of having Consent, Concern and Danger as statuses rather than feedbacks, but I can see a need for a feedback/comment style discussion related to any of these statuses (describing and discussing reasons for the status, possible amendments that would enable consent etc). Perhaps we should preserve feedback/comment conversations as they are to prevent later edits losing the original jist of the conversation, but then allow an user that's already posted a Consent/Concern/Danger to then post a different status later on, so that the later status supercedes the original - the summary at the top could be altered to only count the latest status for each user, and we could maybe fade out the superceded statuses using styling, so that it's clear what they were originally but that they're no longer applicable?

Perhaps that's another way to achieve this, I don't mind as long as one or other of these gets done quite quickly. I think deleting your own feedback is useful anyway (since you can edit it and remove all the text) and very easy to do compared to making consent into a state.
