Stop Duplicate Comments
Check Your Comments Before Writing
This isn't going to be a long read but it will be an important one that everybody should take notice of if you use the site comments here at wealthy affiliate
Many of us spend a bit of time leaving comments within this platform but how many of you can remember the posts and pages we leave them on?
Not many of us I would imagine...
There has been several occasions where I have put the same post up to receive comments on as I'm pretty sure everybody does the same so it can get a bit annoying when you get a duplicate comment from the same person on the same post!
It's not necessarily the exact same words but to have similar comments from the same person just doesn't look right does it?
I never accept the 2nd comment from the same person though but I don't reject it either
I will message that person to change the comment to make it look like it would be a comment back to my reply on the first comment
I hope you're still with me, lol
So all this blog is about is asking everybody to take a bit of time to look at the comments on the post first to see of you have already commented on it, that's what I do
If you have already, rather than skip the post, just say in your comment that you couldn't find anywhere to comment on their last reply and follow the conversation on that way
It's a win win situation
The same with accepting comments on your site, before writing a reply just check that they haven't commented already and if they have just let them know and ask them to alter it so it looks like a follow on from your last conversation
So Just to Clarify...
- Don't just rush in with a comment just for the credits
- Check that you haven't already commented on the post
- If you have, try and make your next comment look like it's coming from the other
- Before writing a reply to a comment in your post, check that they haven't already commented
- If the duplicate comment happens on your website, message the person and ask them to change it before you disapprove it
See, I told you it would be short and sweet but really important if you want your comments to look more organic
Have a great Morning/Afternoon/Evening

I think I understand your blog. So far I don’t think I have made duplicate comments on the same post, but you can never tell. I will make sure I check, thank you Matthew.

Thanks for this post, friend! Mucu grateful! I got so much impressed when I read down the page and saw how you listed a guide to follow while dealing in blog commenting within the WA community and you included that we should write such a commenter who knowingly or unknowingly left a duplicate comment on our blog before disapproving such. This is quite awesome. Thanks for the great work!
