Funny Today I Disapproved 2 comments
I asked for comments.Something weired happened, with in exactly 47 seconds of hitting submit, there was this generic comment already.I was still hanging around as I had to take a screen shot to send site support,that`s why I know it was 47 seconds until a "comment came back in"
I felt so dissapointed that there are so dishonest people.What will a $1(2 credits) do? to make a person disrespect another persons investment and work?( I have to invest 2 credits to get comments)
I rarely disaprove comments knowing the person spent time leaving the comments, so I just go ahead and edit.But for this comment, I was furious,knowing it`s a comment that was already written somewhere just waiting for a site to come asking for comments, then they just paste and send. I wrote the person and told them to please not leave a comment if I have site comment request in the future. I did not mince my words.
After sending them the declined message I went to the comments board and felt even more dissapointed, no wonder finding comments is getting harder as the faces I saw there included 3 comments (all within 7 minutes) that I declined.
Do to me and others what you`d like others to do for you.Integrity matters.
I usually just just copy paste their cheap comments, put it back in the disapprove description and ask them "Is this the type of comment you want people to give on your website?"
And I'd always tell them that they obviously don't read and that they should just stay away from SiteComments if they don't respect other people's sweat and hard work.
I know it's a bit harsh, but at least it helps reduce these generic comments and give better quality ones.

It used to be good when it was not monetized.
I have been leaving comments for 5 years if/when I need comments and have time, I always do my best to be relevant and to read a post before commenting.
It`s worked to my advantage, in the 5 years, I`ve left XXX comments and even with my low quality English, only 3 were disaproved for some Funny reasons
1-The person felt the comment did not promote their product enough( never mind it was a scam product which has long closed down)
2-The owner of another site preferred a person`s face on their comments.
3-The comment was too long
So I believe I`m doing ok
There are times I think and feel monetizing comments was not the best idea, firstly, it makes it almost impossible to earn credits so as to ask for comments as the requests are gone before you can even open a site.
But having said that, there are very good quality comments from honest people who want to earn the credits, then there are those who kind of throw things and hope it sticks.
It is in my opinion something best left to sunset. I used to use it all the time but it was more trouble getting quality comments than to what it was worth so, ditched it!. At US$1 a comment I can buy them elsewhere from various microworker sites and get better quality.
I wasn't leaving comments today but when I do, I certainly do my best. I hope you find others to do the same for you.
You know, I will accept comments not written well, when I can see the person WANTED TO leave me a comment. I`m not a native English speaker so my comments may not always be top quality, but, they always get accepted because the person can see I wanted to leave a proper comment.
I agree people who feel like they have no time to leave comments should not do so.
