yeah number next to our name is seriously very important and exactly it's harder to attain and maintain strongly agree with your point.
Please don't think that by commenting "good job" or "nice artwork" or other generic statements is engaging, it is more spammy than anything and will not help you but hurt you.
how you dealt with such kinda comments? as i can see your posts are one of those on which people love to do comment so...
Yes there are many bots trying to comment to get an up vote so I do have to watch out for that. Bots and their comments are considered spam in my opinion, so if it blatantly spammy I will flag it or down vote.
Earlier someone or a bot actually copied and pasted someone else's comment to another of my posts and placed it another of my posts. I caught this and then down voted it only to have it followed by a 'sorry sir,' which was probably a bot replying too.
Bots, watch out!Thanks for you input @xawi I generally ignore generic comments and generally try to support those that are genuine with their comments.
