Site Comments is a great Pay-it-Forward system where we can offer high-quality comments to others in return for receiving high-quality comments.
Offer 10 comments in a 24-hour period and receive a boost to your comment requests
Offer more than 50 comments in a 30-day period, with an 80% approval and less than 20% skip rate will start earning you credits.
But this all hinges on you getting approved. Stay relevant and remember this is about working as a team and not just chasing cash credits.
I hope you have found this tutorial helpful. If you have anything to offer, add to the comments below. If you have any questions, please add them too.

Good stuff, John!
I've been involved in several discussions recently about Site Comments. It's obvious that some members haven't read the guidelines and do many of the things you point out they shouldn't!
It's frustrating for the site owner as no one wants to disapprove a comment, and also for the commenter who gets rejected.
Maybe there should be a quiz you have to take before you're allowed to comment :-)
Let's hope those who need to read this do :-)

thanks for your input Ian. I think, at times we need to take out the emotion - if the comment is not right, disapprove it.
they need to understand that the comment wasn't right. but we need to educate them by adding value when stating why we didn't approve it.
A quiz, would be hard to validate who can add comments. but I get your point, some people (in my opinion) are chasing the cash credits and rushing through the platform and not thinking about it.
Also, thanks for adding the stagger comments training, would be useful for people looking to stagger them.
thanks

You're right about the emotion. I've seen some members blog about disapproving a commnet, almost with tears in their eyes. There's such support and general positivity at WA that I easily understand how this is difficult.
But I also agree that poor comments should be rejected without remorse :-)
Some people may be chasing the $ but I think some others just haven't read or understood what's required. Education is the way, so let's hope your training is widely read! :-)

I hope it helps too. reading the article is key to giving good comments. I know it is easy to get emotive, but if we all work together there will be no need to reject comments.
