RE: Authors should upvote most comments made on their post, that's just good manners
Unfortunately upvoting every comment can quickly drain one's voting power. I recommend authors upvote insightful and well thought out comments. And if you get in a discussion upvote just one of that users comments.
I sometimes use an upvote as the "end" of a conversation and upvote the last comment made by a user. Sometimes if I find the comment useful or interesting I'll look at a user's post and upvote it instead.
Of course if you're not concerned with curation rewards.. upvote away!
Well said @patrice
I doing that most of the time.
Follow, Followup, FollowBack
Oh! Poor me , I helping everyone and wasted all my SP
UPVOTES on them. I get Bugger all.
Do author really know who upvoting them?
I do. I takes every single UPVOTES seriously !!!
true, I thought about that as well, but didn't put it in the post to keep it short and to the point.
for some people who get like hundreds of comments that would probably be too much as well
and I was actually thinking about comments that start a new tread, not comments in reply to other comments, that would be too much as well
and yes, when I'm on somebody else's post I usually upvote the comment I reply to and the last one as you said, that comes kind of natural, right?
but when I see a post with like 3-4-5 comments, and although the author usually replies, when he doesn't upvote those few comments, I think it's a waste ... it's not the right etiquette ;-)
think about the effect if it becomes indeed the norm and all of a sudden people start to get at least some votes for their comments ... because it's about thousands of individual authors watching their own posts = of course they should only reward the proper comments ... it would be a good way to make sure everybody gets at least the acknowledgement
to me it seems that giving some acknowledgement to those few people that actually liked 'your' post to not only open it and read it, but also comment ... is just a matter of good manners
