It is hard to reply to comments, when they are pointless and empty! 

Bland comments go something like this:

“Liked your post it was interesting keep it up”  

• These words aren’t a comment… because it doesn’t actually say anything about the post’s actual topic. 
• Yes, they are been polite, but what did they really like about your post? What was it that stirred their interest? Did they learn anything from it? What was so fascinating? 

Also notice: 

There were no full-stops or comas in that string of words above! So you don’t know the end or beginning of the statements involved, for starters.  

• Without full-stops and comas, the sentence is not easy to read or understand. And most frustrating for the author to reply to it. 

Repeated comments:

• When comments are copied and repeated several times from what other people have already said about the post… the same bland comment tends to be borrowed, repeated and  occur all the way down under the post in the listed comments section… 
• …that becomes rather annoying, because of the thoughtlessness and then the laziness of the repeaters. The author of the post… doesn’t want to repeat their answer either! 

You want to know:

As the author, you want to know what they really liked about the post. And why it was so interesting for the person? The reason why you want to know is because: 

• First: If you know their thoughts on the subject, you will have some idea how to respond to their comment. 
• Second: If they make sensible and tangible remarks about the post, you can tell they actually thought about what they read. 
• If people add their prognosis on what was said in the post, it is easier to follow their trend of thought. 
• If you know what interests people, you have a better idea(s) what to write about in future. 

Blind comments:

Then you get people who repeat the same old comment for all the posts they see and click on! Multiple times, no matter the topic!  

Sorry the wrong topic!

As the author, you generally write on different theme topics, on certain days of the week.  

And then you get these same senseless comment coming up every time a blog is posted, no matter that it doesn’t actually apply to the present topic… 

• Comments go something like this: “See you enjoy adventure. Your trip was most interesting” But in fact the topic wasn’t about adventure or travel. It was about money!  
• That shows the person didn’t frankly read the post before making the comment. And hasn’t registered the fact, you’ve written on a different topic this time. That’s thoughtless and rude. 
• It also shows that the person’s only reason for leaving a comment in the first place, is that they’re were just looking for up-votes and followers. 

***If the author gets wrong topic comments, and bland empty or senseless comments, it’s only fair, that there is less likely-hood of getting a reply to their comment or even an up-vote! 

***If people really want to build up their own site with followers and up-votes, they need to interact with more lively upbeat interesting comments that build one-on-one, face-to-face, type of conversations with other people.  

Interchange of comments:

• The way and how you relate to-one-another can build friendships. 
• If the author understands the comments, they find it easier to replay to each comment, with an interesting fact or two, thus adding something more to the topic in hand. 
• When people out there, get to know that more interesting facts can also be found in the comments, they will likely read all the way down the comments listing as well. The result is that that site becomes like a club where everyone wants to be and see what’s happening there. 
• When the author of the post replies to your comment, and is friendly and interested in you personally and what you say… you are more likely to come around again and again. Isn’t that so? 

What are your personal thoughts, reasoning and input on this topic? 

How do you handle senseless, empty, uninteresting and repeated comments when they occur on your posts?
