Posting Comments 101
So I just recieved another lame comment from someone who didn't even take the time to read the actual post I requested the comments on. This is not the first time it has happened and I am a little tired of it! I spend a lot of time writing these pages and posts. I also write quality comments when I am looking to earn comment credits.
Here is a little explanation of what I think a comment should do. 1) A comment should be insightful, it doesn't have to be the most unique peice of writing in the universe, just let me know that you actually read the post! 2) It should create a conversation! I want you to ask me a question about the subject, or make a comment about your view of the topic.
What I don't need, is a breakdown of the page structure or for you to give me a generic, "great job" We all work hard here, so let's not waste each others time with sub-par antics and lazy work ethics!
Thanks,
Shawn

Honestly, I don't always have the time to write a big response to a blog when there are 50 waiting in my inbox. That being said, I understand what you are saying. I enjoy reading the blogs, and if I write one, I'd be happy to get an "Atta Girl" if that's all someone had time for! Thanks for your thoughts.
I wasn't talking about responses to blogs, I was referring to requesting comments on posts. I dont expect people to respond to blogs as it is nearly impossible to read all of them.
I am sorry to hear this and can understand the frustration and feeling let down, there has been a few members who have said this I guess I have been fortunate to have had some decent comments, what is your niche
It's happened a few times now and considering that we are all paying for the luxury of having a community who support us, it really upsets me when other members waste my time when I have so little of it to waste myself. I'm not here begging for comments that I haven't earned through the give and take philosophy of WA. I am merely making a point.
I read your post and I totally agree. We are here to help each other do better, if we can. I might have already done that a time or two already in my short time here. If not I will surely give even more thought to what I leave behind in a comment in the future. Well said.
I have had similar experiences. I have also had great experiences with the SiteRubix Feedback and Comments systems. They're hit or miss, unfortunately. :(
And I really try to give thorough and insightful feedback/comments. I am following you now... PM me your site and I'll help you out! :)

I totally agree with you here. What really kills me though is when you get constructive criticism in the comments." Do this, change that, etc" I didn't ask for feedback. Did you even read the content?
