Hi Sharon,
I haven't been very active in the comments section but I did one recently and had no problem. I understand your frustration because I would be there if it happened to me. Have you PM'd Kyle. I'm sure this will get fixed.

Hi Sharon,
I agree wholeheartedly. I got given a website recently to comment about which was promoting the value and benefits of smoking pot. I refreshed the Offer Comments page and got it twice again. So, I had no choice but to stand up for my values. I said some things.
And yes people do manage to rort the system not only with short sentences but also Site feedback comments. So it is a great concept but needs some tweaking.

P.S.My wife's name is Sharon, and she has reminded me that the name means Princess!

Hi Sharon
When the new comments system came into being a few months ago I too was being presented by these type of adult sites. I contacted Kyle by pm and they seemed to stop so I presumed he had disabled them in some way.
I've not been active in the comments section recently so cannot comment on what's being offered recently but I'm surprised that you have been asked to comment on a site dedicated to penis enlargement.
A quick pm to Kyle might sort this out and you're welcome to mention to him that I brought up this subject with him several months ago if you wanted to. Good luck.

Perhaps having a content rating system could help the reviewers...offering alternate content family friendly options...just a thought. (Options a, b, or c)

Thanks, Sharon...good info...as I'm in need of bumping up my site relevance, I'll probably offer up some comments...but knowing this is very helpful...wishing you blessed and prosperous times!

I have not been as active here lately as I should have. But maybe some just do not know what to say or are new to WA. I know writing is not my strong point but I do try to leave at least comments that is relevant to the site that I am viewing.

So be patient maybe if the one who is commenting on your site is new or in my case trying to think of what to say they may improve in time. But I know there is cases where some just try to cheat the system but hopefully most don't.

So I wish you much success here at WA and in all your endeavors.

By the way i wasn't trying to defend the ones who just don't care but speaking from someone who is cursed with A form of writers block when it comes to comments or blogging lol

Hi Sharon,
I know how you feel, I have had something similar. One thing that does annoy me, is when you take the time to look over a site and leave a comment or suggestion, and they don't even acknowledge you, very bad manners.
Best wishes, Trevor.

Hi Sharon! It is always your right when taking part of the comments' system here at WA to NOT fill out anything regarding a comment on a particular site that you feel embarrasses or offends you - such as the site that you mentioned concerning penis enlargements stated in your blog. My question to that individual is "yes" we are all adults here. But there is a time and place for that type of subject, IMO certainly not to be put up for review and comments being requested.

Some people I guess just don't think or understand that certain subject material is sensitive - such as the individual who put that article up asking for comments about the subject which both you and I feel are quite sensitive, Sharon.

While I have not yet seen one quite in that category, I remember being randomly assigned an article at a site which dealt with a subject that I personally found offensive - recreational drugs. No, the guy was not taking about medicinal purposes, (marijuna) concerning this drug in his article either. I just hit the button which brought up a different site and continued from there.

I have never run into the situation as what happened to you when you chose not to issue a comment on a site. You clicked out of a site yet were not presented another option. What I have run into is reviewing a particular site one day. And then the very next day the SAME site AND article pops up yet again.

Something does need to be done about that and I hope that Kyle can revamp some of the other stuff that takes place within the comments' system. Articles about penis enlargement do not belong! It has nothing to do with one's scope of intellect either. It's just plain offensive to some people - like myself and I'm sure other members of WA.

What is that saying, "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"? The same applies with sensitive topic subjects that should not be open for discussion in such a place as the comments' system here at WA.

I tend to write out fairly long comments myself, especially if I can relate something personal that I have experienced regarding an article topic. I always try to find something good to say about an article - trust me I've seen a few that were borderline poor, (grammar, misspelled words, etc.). One article that I read I remember consisted of barely 200 words in its entirety, (if that) and asked to be reviewed by the site owner. I still tried to find something positive as I just loathe attacking someone for anything that has to do with the content of an article or its length.

It does not bother me as much if a person writes out only a 100 word comment on my sites. For the most part even with fairly short comments I've personally found that these individuals did leave something of value in their responses.

Kyle mentioned that as one of the golden rules in participating in this venture - different than reviewing a member's website, is to try and keep it positive. Also leave something of value and engaging in the way it is articulated in the comment. People need to think about that.

Thank you for your excellent blog article, Sharon. Hopefully it will catch the attention of Kyle and Carson!

I had an experience as yours, but I "asked" for different websites. It takes some time,but they showed up. I guess maybe it was glitch in system.

it happens sometimes but most of the time I have no problems. nothing is perfect.
