Hi there
This is an ongoing challenge in the community, I made the mistakes when I first joined (enthusiastic as a Great Dane puppy, lol!) and many after will too. Well done on taking the time to write a respectful and informative post on this important topic.
Blessings always

Great of you to point out the difference between a comment and feedback!

Whew! I am now following you!

I must admit as a newbie developing a writing style, it is tough work, especially when I try and leave out my own imagination.

Before WA.

I would never--just "reading" think that the two (2) differences of a comment & feedback would impact my writing concerns.

I didn't see before how obvious--feedback is (more or close) connected to the creative processes, while commenting deals (directly) with putting into words something to understand, or that is understood.

I didn't know nor understood (..as a newbie writer) that out-of-habit I actually ignored showing--up in my own words.

As if, what is... my own attitude (thinking) about stuff didn't make a difference. (It didn't matter whether I like it or not either.)

You have the right attitude when it come to writing about critical stuff, and I think it's because you know how to use your imagination.

I am glad I read your post, it helped jumpstart my opinion on this discussion.

To try and interpret for other newbies a perspective (tough-to-grasp mentally,) when learning the difference using commenting & feedback.. creatively.

It is a process.

All the best,

Hi Chender,
That was a good reminder. I shared the same scenario of mixing the two. It took quite a while to get it right. Especially, doing too many feedbacks and comments concurrently. The solution is not to do both at the same time.

Read other WA members feedbacks and comments. To learn their writing style. Then, come up with your own way of writing.

To your continual success,

I agree with you 100% Curtis. It is bad enough that I sometimes get comments that are feedback I have to delete but even more bothersome when I get low quality comments or comments that says that they are a WA member too.

If the comment is really low quality I will delete that to because it is obvious they didn't read the post. If I can edit the low quality comment to make it acceptable I will. There are simple steps to know the difference between a comment and feedback, How To and How Not To Leave Comments on a Website

LOL!! Truer words could not have been written. When I was a new member here and in my first month. I may have written feedback when it should have been a comment without realizing what I was doing. It wasn't long after that when I learned the difference and felt so dumb about it.

It happens sometimes and yes learning the difference is VERY important. 🤣🤣🤣

Take care!
