i was serching for a suggestion to comment in other post. I think that the people have to be ORIGINAL. one thing is being a cool guy but is terrible how people pretends to be other person, the cool. Sometimes people don't care about content, they just want to search some post to comment and being cool. thanks for the post, i really agree.

You are absolutely right @suesa. I am confronted with all these types of comments everyday day.  People should read and understand the article before commenting  on a post.  Some common example of comments that i think you have come across on steemit are " Nice post" , "Great post, keep it up", "Beautiful pic or nice photos".  These people are not adding any value  to the post of the owner of the article by sharing their ideas or views on the content of the post while acting like that.

I agree fully with this - this follow me and I follow you or good or nice, uhm ja I tend to ignore them.  Thank you this is good and nice information LOL.  Resteeming

wow nice photo, love the cactus

(This is not a spam comment, so unless you are suesa, please don't flag this. She can flag me because this is to tease her)

Thank you in advance, @suesa
I have read all your in this post.

Point by point the outline is:
-Before commenting on the post of the first person we understand the writing, do not comment that is not relevant to the post or question followed. Like begging for upvote.

Please forgive me if my previous comments in your post could be considered spam.

With this post I have learned a lot about the correct comment ethics

I read through all the comments, (58 at the time of reading), there are a lot of very good ones. I left a comment on one of the comments, and mentioned at the end that I would be resteeming your post. One thing I found to be very pleasant with this particular post is that you actually have more views that votes, and a good many comments. It is a rare day that I run across a post with more views that votes.  I just wish that all of you really highly educated people on here would understand that not everyone may be as well educated as you are for what ever reason. Things would be a lot better in Steemit if we people could understand that simple concept...**Not everyone went to an IVY league school.**

Thanks again, very lovely post.

nice post lol
I have read through and totally agree with you, lol
i love your fictions
(i am trying to summarise your comment wall, jk)

I hate those bots more actually, i mean human efforts takes like few seconds but bots are leaving tons more within those seconds

Why do we even need to spell out the obvious? It's getting quite old.

*Or maybe I'm getting old and crabby!*

# :D

Great picture wish I was there! (sorry)

I love how short and to the point your posts are, proof that you don't need to write novels every time you post to do well. I am probably guilty of leaving pretty short comments a few times, but I do always read the post/look at the photo etc. Sometimes you really enjoyed a post and just want to say that, unfortunately so many people say something short like "beautiful picture" that it does just come across spammy. The fact that you actually need to tell people to actually read the comment is sad, but also not surprising. When people hear about Steemit they instantly think "quick buck" and that's gonna encourage a tonne of spam. And I can be honest and say I was one of those that thought "quick buck" but after five minutes of being on here that notion was dispelled pretty fast!

@suesa you said it all, I also indicated most of these tips , however broadly in my post (feel free to see my blog posts) .
People should throw in reasonable comments , unfortunately, most people get follow for follow or upvote for upvote comments. Moreover, I do not know if they are bots or human as bots comments better smetimes..haha. Following you now in order to stay in touch and send in my support.

very good advice. i will make sure to not promote my own posts from now on :)  i will also upvote you and not my comment.  i will be good guy now because of you :) thank you :D

Great post and information! Yes I see that many people don't read the posts and just give a comment like ( great post thanks for sharing ) and some comments don't even match to what is written in my post. We make a post for people to read it and not to just give a short or not matching comment. Have a nice day and steem on best regards from Mauritius :)

There are few things more annoying than comments that are clearly cut and paste and have nothing to do with the material. Doubly so when those comments aren't even accompanied by an upvote and yet proclaim things like "Amazing! I love your work!" 

Even a broad strokes scanning of the post - or even just commenting in relation to the title! - is a thousand times better. Anything but the totally useless non-comment.

Suesa, thanks for sharing.  Your words are noted by many persons, I am sure.

I agree, but I think nothing wrong with self and not pathetic.

> Actually read the post you’re leaving a comment on and try to understand the content

The fact that this needs to be spelt out says quite a lot...

As someone who spends most of my VP on up-voting constructive comments I get, I really appreciate the efforts made by anyone who has their mind on what can be done to improve the user experience of being on the platform, rather than trying to squeeze out another few cents. As owners of STEEM, we should not forget that its value depends on how many invest in it, which again depends on how many use it, which finally depends on whether or not they appreciate being here.

It's weird to me that there's not a lot more people that get this simple idea. That you may end up making more money by investing in others and improving the quality of the platform, and thus boost the value of your steem holdings, rather than contribute to making the platform crap in the pursuit of a cent.

Reading the post is a must thing before commenting... after this post hope you will get some relief from spammers....
> In fact, I’m expecting many of dumb comments under this post.

And do not consider my comment as a dumb one.. ;)

most people are writing" nice post " and none of them read ^^

I'm really new to this but already I'm starting to see people commenting stuff that is clearly BS. It's like these people don't realise that just saying "good job" over and over, won't get noticed. Good post my friend and consider yourself followed.

When I saw the topic of this post, i feel something belong to me, sometime i comment in any post i dont read all of post but i just read a part then i comment. :)

I've definitely read other people's comments that use the bs technique of just quoting parts of the blogpost to make it sound like they read it, but didn't really say anything additionally! I'm new here and guilty of upvoting my comments :( I thought I read that as a tip for beginners :( Guess I'll stop doing that now! Thanks for the tips!

Dear Suesa - spammers will spam, writers will write. Good post and it still illustrates what is wrong with such an open platform, we all have to trust and believe in good content and even more so, good behaviour.

I need to know if we are friends or not :p

Suesa discovers the comment section of Steemit.

I'm crap at posts and comments but I did like the bit of humour at the end , cheers mike

Pertanyaan yang sama dari saya, bagaimana cara membuat suatu koment yang bisa menghasilkan nilai sehingga dengan demikian kita akan rajin memberikan komen pada postingan-postingan orang lain. Adakah trik yang bisa membuat komen bisa bernilai ?

Give me your advice..

good points! I'll add the commenting should bring any value to the community or enhance the original post. I read posts and if i sure that's a topic that touches me and have my own experiences which may be valuable to others then i got the urge to share it and i'm glad to get some feedback or maybe an upvote. But bringing value to others seems to me always essential either with my own post or by commenting others. Sometimes i had a longer comment than the original was because i feeled it's worth nethertheless i got an upvote. Thanks for the reminder!

I must agree with your posts.  In my early comments I made all the mistakes under the sun.  I thought a post was fact, when in fact it was fiction.  We have to learn from our mistakes.  I hate one or two word comments, always makes me feel that they didn't really grasp the content.  I also feel that it is better to comment even if you don't upvote. Sometimes my upvote power is non-existent  but I still comment because the post desrves it.

Nice. Just kidding.

it's crazy I just posted something similar like 20 min ago

BuildTeam has a payroll structure similar to your average corporation, except instead of traditional fiat remuneration, we compensate our staff with our own cryptocurrency called BUILDTEAM tokens.Holders of BUILDTEAM tokens are able to bid for a percentage of the company's profits in a monthly auction process.Steem is distributed on a proportional basis depending on how much each participant bids.Our first auction just finished and was a huge success - auction participants earned 1.7 Steem for every BUILDTEAM token they bid.
