My photoblog has almost 5 months since opening and I had a lot of visitors. Many of them left a comment or two and at the beggining I was happy because people appreciated my hobby, but now my enthusiasm starts to fade. Why? It's a simple thing: 98% percent of the comments are something like "wow, great picture!", "I like the picture!", "nice colors!", etc, etc. Nobody ever said something like "I don't like the picture, you could use a b&w instead colors and crop it that way...", "you could capture the picture from another angle, this one is not that great", "i've been there, I know that place last summer and we might of met...". The only comments that didn't contain words like "great picture", "awesome shot" or "amazing colors" were the spam comments. Now that I don't get spam anymore on my page, I really miss those days.
Why people just throw these kind of comments? At least if they don't have something to say why they don't just look at pictures? I know, perhaps they want comments back on their blogs too, but if someone brings critiques to a picture of mine, that doesn't mean I won't visit his blog and comment their pictures/articles in a positive manner...
I believe I'll disable the comment feature. Or someone, please develop an addon against dumb comments...
