Good morning. The C&R is set up for people to tell what a post is about *not* their opinions about a post. So if someone isn't reading the post, the algorithms already have a very good idea what the post is about and if someone isn't categorizing and rating accurately - the system will punish them by disregarding their opinions on the post and if it continues - completely so they are just basically C&R'ing themselves out of the system.
It's before coffee, I meant to add - I really liked this post!
JoLynn explained the C&R rather well. I do agree that it's not nice for people to try to get away with just categorizing and rating without actually reading a blog. It's really rather hurtful emotionally to the author if a writer writes about a very sensitive issue and how she was hurt by something that happened in her life, then to read someone comment with a single word, "nice". I understand where you are coming from, Tara. Good job in expression here, and I do understand your frustration.
thanks for all your wonderful comments i appreciate each and everyone of them. Do you have any suggestions on what you think needs fixing?
* NICE*.... lol just kidding hun!!!!!! i see where you are coming from with this blog.
Thank Ronnie
Very good post. Nice content.
thank you Borhan!
Thank You Ghazal.
I much prefer to see valuable comments on my blog entries as well, lets me know the person read my work, understood it and took the time to make a valuable comment. I even help a couple of other bloggers by helping point out improper word usage, spelling, and grammar, and they do the same for me.
Here's to weeding out the fakers!
Thanks for commenting Karl I love reading your posts you do a very excellent job ! keep up the good work! and I agree let's all help each other by making valuable comments on each others posts. So that we can all improve on things little by little everyday!
Nice Post Thanks for Sharing.
nice
all people must C & R after reading the post!
for example i think this post is about "categorizing and rating issue" after reading this post and rate it!
v nice ....!!
i love this post.
Good ! Thank you for sharing.
Hi Tara, a fellow author here. I hear what you are saying and I agree. I am new here but I have been wondering about some of the things that you brought out. I have seen it happen in other sites where you post something and some post the nice post, or thanks for sharing type reply. I felt right away they had not read what I had written. Sorry to critique you, and maybe I am wrong, but the word motive in the last paragraph should be motivate. At least that is how I would have worded it. You can critique me any time too. It was a great post full of deep feelings. Thanks.
yeah rating a post without reading i guess is unappropriate. but maybe because of how the rating system works the give and take thingy may be the reason some people do it, sorry for bad english
Thank you for posting this information. Cleared some things up for me.
Thank you so much, I really think this post made me see things so much clearer, and hopefully explained how to be better at giving it a label, rating , & and a score that is more acceptable to the person writing the post!
thanks for sharing your nice thoughts of categorizing and rating post.
it's really helpful to us as a new member
we can get some ideas on how to use or what is fanbox all about........God bless
