If you have recently been commenting on my posts you will notice a trend that is happening. This is to inform all the new people here on steemit THERE ARE NO SHORTCUTS!
If you comment on my post with some generic BS such as
Nice Post
Well Done
I agree with you
Thanks for sharing
Very well
etc.
P.S anyone posting a generic comment on this post WILL BE FLAGGED!
Which does not provide any value what so ever or even in many cases does not even relate to what I just posted about not only will you not get an upvote but in some cases you might even get a flag from me!
Steemit is a strong stable community and those of you new coming in here need to take the time and effort to read posts and leave valid and valuable comments. This is how we all got started here on steemit and why it has grown into such a flourishing community. Which I hope I speak for the majority here we hope to keep intact and stronger then ever.
This is by no means to deter you from earning on steem but honestly the opposite allowing you to thrive!
Lets all work together in making steemit a place people want to come to meet others, connect, build friendships, business partnerships and earn all in a friendly environment. Enjoy! Keep posting and remember high value is rewarded! Be sure to reward others as well for their high value.
I had to immediately scroll down to the comments to see if anyone did exactly what you said, not to do LOL. And of course, there's already been a few. I still don't get some of these people, it's REALLY no so hard to type real responses LOL
Exactly I even made it big and bold so even if you where skimming the post you should of at least seen that :P
I admire you taking a stand on this. It’s true, there are a lot of bots and spammers that just post the same comment in hundreds of posts hoping to maybe get an upvote or two. Kinda pathetic.
If we want Steemit and STEEM to grow and increase in value, the content and product as a whole has to continue to expand. That doesn’t happen with hundreds of “Good post, I like it.” Comments.
Hopefully people stop this as I don’t see many people upvoting or paying attention to comments like that.
Thanks for sharing, others should follow in your footsteps.
I wonder how many generic comments this post will receive. I have seen this trend recently on many other posts, I don't know why this happens, maybe because the user base is growing and there are much more people trying to get upvotes...
Already flagged 3 lol oh and valid comments of course always get a decent upvote :D
Oh this is hilarious! You write a nice post about how people shouldn't comment crappy little comments that have absolutely no value whatsoever, and you warn them that those type of comments will earn them a flag from you - within 30 minutes you get 3 commentors doing exactly what you just told them not to do! I almost want to flag them myself!
By the way...
nice post
Sorry my friend, there are many beginners here who do not know the good ways to interact and how to get Affoot so I hope to forgive them and do not blame them as long as beginners and over time you get enough experience to understand all things
Those kinds of people (that are LQ postings) are coming here just hoping to make the quick bucks I guess. They want the quickest shortcut to get their $. I doubt they even read the whitepaper that the devs' been putting lots of effort into.
The idea is rewarding contents that they wrote in STEEM, but what they've doing isn't contributing any contents, it actually hurts the platform. And people need to realize that if they want STEEM to thrive.
yaah many people i see in steemit only comment i.e nice good etc are looking spaming ! steemit become strong and strong and we shold value the post with valid comment!
We gotta show people that this type of auto bot commenting provides no value and does not help the community at all.
I'm new and learning. And couldn't agree more. My English teacher always told me I'd be a good write. But life had other plans. Fashion...now crypto. Out of fiat and into crypto. And can't seem to get out and I'm loving it...as well found steemit. And I'm excited. To start writing a few articles. Specifically in crypto. Working on ideas and learning how it all works. Love the idea free the internet and get paid fir our work. But that's not the point. What is getcrewarded and help other who need it. Is more important. I posted a small article toshi app. That they give you a dollar to join and all they ask is to donate it to help. To my astonishment I think I recived 1 reply. Yes I know I'm new and need to work. But it's so simple and people just don't take the time to read and help. So yes your 100% right. Flag me because I felt what you said. Until I said stop read write focus and don't just click. Because how ela will I get the following to get reward to help. Amen
yeh exactly newbies use shortcut to earn some money and coments on every posts with nice good post or something elase but don't know what is inside in the post.
Nice Post
Well Done
I agree with you
Thanks for sharing
Very well
You also forgot:
You are genius
You are a great poster
I learn a lot from you
I hear some of these BS comments are actually bots. I dont know but I get them too. I was chatting with @flauwy, and he gets the same.
This is only magnified if one upvotes the comments left in his/her articles. It seems this draws the voting bots and senseless posters in like flies.
I comment you for bringing this up....I guess today is analyze the comments day...I am in the process of putting together a post about it too.
Ah, this kind of initiative was needed by someone with a high reputation! I wonder how many of these are bots. Although being a human bot is even worse. And commenters with those stereotype messages certainly don't bother reading any content. Too bad for them, in my humble opinion, there are tons of great content on Steemit.
Well, i think people just don't take out time to read post before commenting. Everyone wants to be the first in order to get good upvotes. As for me, I read the posts. If i dont understand it, i walk away and not comment. If i have to comment, then it should be more than just "good post, thanks for sharing"
I just wish people will learn!
and that is why you get my upvote :) Enjoy the weekend!
Preach!! I’m so sick of comments like that on my posts and have thought about starting to flag as well. Lately I’ve been leaving comments to let them know that spamming other’s post is not a good move, but I don’t think I’m actually getting through to anyone.
Same here I stopped upvoting every comment and now only do worthy ones. It seemed to have been building a rash of horrible junk comments that well honestly I did not want on my posts. I rather be engaged with my readers and banter a bit as well
Well I have just started on steemit and have noticed the above responses to posts.
I really like the idea of flagging such comments, it also stops the chatroom, FB style of saying something just to answer. Pages of nothing...
Everybody should take a action like you.Now here has many ID they comment without reading a post.Their comment is common they only aspect vote and they used many ids and sign up a specific browser.
I want to added a common comment "It is very informative post and educative value"Ha ha ha
Personally I appreciate positive comments no matter what the length...I feel honored one read my post regardless of their ability to respond...not everyone has the time and brain power to comment with some lengthy retort....
However it sounds like I am missing something in terms of a Steemit concept that one receives a reward of some sort if they comment on a post? Therefore...a short and sweet post might just be a reason to accumulate some gain?
If that's the case...I see your point...but frankly...comes across a bit "elitist".....frankly...I am more perturbed by the "follow me" posts with no other comment at all.....
You just earned a reward for this comment that will be paid out to you in 7 days. Just like posting comments hold value as well. When someone leaves a I liked your post comment 1 minute after you just posted you damn well know they didn't read it and they are just mass spamming across the network. It is these types of actions I am flagging. The ones that are clear they did not read a single word and just spam.
Didn't realize you could see how long someone was actually on a post...learn something new each day...appreciate the info...
I remember when I joined (2 weeks ago lol!) I was happy someone commented at all and would upvote them regardless... (I assume that’s why they do it) it was only til someone said “nice post brother” (I am female) when I was like ok, no more. 😂
Oh I hear ya brother (haha just joking around) but yeah its pretty lame when people post like that it kind of really takes away from the value here at steemit I feel
Ok that made me laugh out loud 😂
Many come with the Twitter mindset and think that by just making Spam make a lot of money instead of making good content.
resteemit done
sorry sir
many guys in steemit they just write i.e good post, nice carry on etc
your this decission is appreciate
