Commenting On Posts - Do You Stop At 10?

Do you stop commenting at 10 Posts?

Is it all about the points?

I think that we all agree that we love points. We want to rank the highest in our area and we all want to be #1, or at least I do (and yes I know I have a long way to go).

I try to read posts everyday and comment on 10. I have a pretty good idea how many posts I have commented on at any given time and I have even continued to read posts and comment after my ten were used up, imagine that.

Do you think that we would have a stronger network if we were awarded points for continuing to read and comment (even at a much small ratio)?

With the amount of membership growing, there are so many great posts out there to read and interact with that I think a diminishing scale of points would continue to encourage members to read and write and build a stronger network.

What do you think?

Some days it's not easy to even comment on 10 even though I read many more than that. I don't pay attention - if I'm on a roll, I comment regardless of the number I reach

I think it's hard to get to 10! I just don't have the time!

Shannon - I know, I sit with my laptop and watch tv and read during commercials... My husband comes into the bedroom each night and says give the laptop to me, you've reached your quota.

Maria - I hear you, I'm addicted to. There is so much to learn, so much to see, so many people that I enjoy to follow. I drink a lot of coffee.

Debbie, I do more than 10, but don't keep an exact score? I think it is mostly about time. There are so many, it is hard to keep up with all of them!

I try to comment on 10 a day but I have to admit that I don't usually make it. I most often go on to read blogs by people who have stopped by my blogs. I know it is costing me points but I still learn a lot every day.

Apr 11, 2008 04:03 AM

Shannon - I do the same thing, I always feel grateful for comments and try to return the compliment to others.

The limit on points for commenting is a good thing for me ~ I would never get any work done!

I read a lot of blogs, sometimes I comment, sometimes I don't. Commenting is a good habit to get into though. It definitely creates relationships here on AR.

Debbie, no reason to stop at 10. I read all that interest me during a day and don't worry too much about the points.

Apr 13, 2008 12:21 AM

Nancy - I know what you mean, I had to wait on someone today and I actually got to read posts for about 30 minutes on my Blackberry... it was great.

Apr 14, 2008 03:22 PM

Brian - It isn't all about the points... I'm happy when I have the time to contribute to the group.
