The Comment System at WA!
Alright people, sharing my opinion on the comment system here at WA, what I like and dont like about it.
I am not talking about the 'here is my post leave a comment and I'll return the favor', I am talking about the Comments for Credits system, but before that let me just remind the WA community that please DO NOT say you'll return the favor if you actually wont, I know myself and a lot of other users end up taking time to comment on other peoples post but they dont comment back, its not right, its frustrating, and its a waste of the commentators time.
Thankfully though the Credits for Comments system is there, what that means is if you are stuck of people not seeing your comment requests you can go there, comment on posts, get credits and then have the credit be used to people comment on your post, and every time I've used they've been quality comments, and very fast too.
What I like
I like that the system makes you have a certain length to your comment, and check to see if you are just pasting the same comment on every ones post, that is very helpful, so you wont get the 'cool post' comments, you'll actually get the quality ones.
What I Dont Like
The only thing that I really dont like about that system is the fact that you get one credit when you comment on someones post, but you have to use TWO to get a comment back on yours...so in order to get one comment on your post you'll have to post two comments on two different posts, I dont think thats fair, and I am not sure why they made it that way, where is the other credit going? to who?
Anyways that is my opinion on both the request comments section, and the comment for credit section, let me know what your opinion of them is.
Thanks!

For what it's worth, the other day I got a comment for an article I posted a month ago! The bonus comments Kyle mentioned actually works. I also got bonus feedback a couple times too. I thought it was a glitch, but nope, today I learned they were bonuses! So the comments are definitely worth the trouble.
Yes they are man, I know you and I got burned before with leaving comments and people not commenting back, so that's why I started using this system, your time doesn't go to waste with it.
They system wouldn't work if it was a one on one exchange, there wouldn't be enough people offering comments to get comments in an expedited fashion or to cover all the requests.
But something cool happens when you offer comments and you are active within the system, you are naturally going to get lots of bonus comments. The more active, the more bonus (unexpected) comments you will get.
Glad you like the platform overall, just do know that the 2:1 ratio needs to be in place for the system to fundamentally work and for you to get comments in a quick manner.
Ahhhh.....now I see why I got an extra comment, I also thought it was a glitch, in that case then it makes sense to me, I knew there was a reason why it was a 2:1 reason, but didn't know what it was, thanks for the explanation Kyle.
