Actually, all of my comments are about the topic of the week. I would not have to write this article if everyone paid attention to this. But the rule is the rule. :). Thank you for help me @rlt47. I will continue to write this way now...

Hahaha! Actually, the way you and I are chatting right now is not the "topic of the week" we are discussing the new rules. So on these we do not put on ON THE TOPIC.
Also there is a lot of fun also going on with jokes and greeting but the point of the SBD is to reward only high quality content for the topic of the week.
But the real reason for the rule is to help @ainie.kashif to quickly check the post and add SBD and curate. She only count those, that start with ON THE TOPIC.
Even if all your comments are on the "topic of the week" she must still read every one to be sure, this can use a lot of her time. If we use ON THE TOPIC she just ignore the ones which don't have it. Also lots of other people's comments make it difficult to spot what is relevant and what is not.
By putting ON THE TOPIC or Not we pre-evaluate our own work and say to @ainie.kashif, this comment is quality comment for the topic of the week and this one is not. You can check my comments as example, that which has ON THE TOPIC and that which has not. You can also see that how easy it will be for here to count only the relevant items.
Finally, it is important for all HHG member to know this rules because when HHG becomes very big, then we must all help the newbies to understand the rules.
I hope this helps :)
