Hard to Comment Makes Me Hard to Approve

Hard to Comment?

Everyone's commenting at the moment on how hard it is to find posts and pages to give comments on. I've responded to a few of those myself.

So I set myself a goal.

Ten comments in one day while doing other stuff.

10 Comments in 1 Day

Achieved it, but only by keeping comments open in one window while doing stuff in another and hitting Try Again Now every time I switched to the first window.

So it was relatively hard.

My own theory on this is that we are all pissed off with getting 1 credit for giving a well thought out, relevant, multi-paragraph comment on someone's blog post or landing page only to be charged 2 credits for a crap comment on mine.

I've only ever rejected one comment before. It was totally off topic and was a rant against Wealthy Affiliate, so an easy decision.

But after I'd left 10 quality comments on other sites, I spent 2 of those 10 credits requesting a comment on one of mine.

Rejected

The comment I received was in barely passable English. Look, I understand that English isn't your first language, but I've decided now that it's not my problem. It was a couple of sentences long and had only a tenuous connection to my original post. It certainly didn't "add value".

So I rejected it, and got another. Better but not all that great. I accepted it.

I know my standards are high, but just occasionally I'd like to get a comment that's of similar quality to those I give other members.

Please Tell Me

Am I being unreasonable?
