Random thoughts on site comments

This week I moved deeper into site comments and a couple things disturbed me . Noone here can do anything here but I was thinking that it is something I wish could be a little ... tweaked and was inspired to share my thoughts..

I recently requested over a 100 comments spread out over 20 articles spaced over the next 14 days ... that request is a representation of how serious I am about making this work.

I bought credits but I also earned credits .... I’m weird and I like earning credits through site comments since I see so much unique and interesting things there . Sometimes I even buy things through links I find . I just consider it a luxury at this point as every hour counts .... still though as I enter chill and browse some nights I tend to go there to do my browsing and grab a pile of credits while I’m am at it .

The first incident occurred when I received feedback instead of a comment on a comment request ... worse the feed back was pretty awful in its own right ....as in I think the person leaving the feedback didn’t even quite grasp that concept .

I have done site feedback and received positive and negative but honestly never something so irrelevant so I was in a bit of a pickle . Honestly if it was relevant site feedback I would have just ignored it but as I looked at it and seen my time and investment reflected back as that I just couldn’t edit and approve .

I looked and looked for a way to send that person a pm to let them know to change it to a comment but there is no way . So I disapproved it than wondering what I did I ran some searches here .

Well I just contributed to WA 3 strikes and your out rule . It seems a bit unfair , I did not want to waste my credits but I also didn’t want that thing in my site .... neither of us had a chance to communicate a mutually agreeable option.

Than later the same day I had someone come through site comments but than leave me a comment through my website ( not earning credit) than left me another comment here explaining they was unsure how to do it .

I would have loved the option to reach out and explain .... again we can not find the person here that left a comment . I fixed that though by editing the comment here , merged them the best I could and approved here trashing the actual site comment.

I was still mulling this over as I really wanted to reach out to that person and explain and had their name and email through their comment but was hesitating to use info in that way when a duplicate comment from that same person came through site comments on the exact same article ...!?!??

I couldn’t approve that , I couldn’t edit and just have another random comment from the same person on the same article, I have no clue how it came over twice and after what I learned earlier I did not want to give 1 of 3 strikes to this person ( who by this point I actually liked , the comments reflecting a genuine mutual love for our subject matter)

In desperation I posted on live chat for a way out of this mess and refreshed for what felt like a lifetime ( I was stressed lol ) than I got my answer so I approved it here , deleted it on the back end and kissed either a dollar or 30 minutes if my time good bye depending on how you look at it.

Yes if you have not guessed yet this is all to say I really really really want a way to contact people leaving comments through site comments .

I do not want to be the unfair mean person costing people their ability to earn comments and I do not want to just randomly kiss my credits good bye.

WA needs a suggestion box :-/

Now I feel better ( it’s been messing with my head all day ) , thank you for listening .
