call me stupid

I don't understand the point of this "praise" button for comments. Complain is verrry useful due to, obvious reasons. Praise, I don't get why it's there. Do the Pz n Qz gods need to be informed that you appreciated a comment?

If someone takes time to put a thoughtful, constructive comment I'll be inclined to click the praise, but I have no idea what it actually does.

Of course JPM was coming to your rescue.

I wondered the same thing. I have clicked it a few times but wasn't exactly sure what happened.

I think it's a good addition to the site though.

originally, it was added because Janis was going to try to introduce a "critic of the month" award.

I don't know if that is still his intention or not. I have a feeling too many people praise people for, "I loved it!" "Great poem!", etc.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
I was wondering in general if it served a purpose at all, because I honestly didn't think the bosses needed to know if someone liked a comment, but if there was going to be an award...even though I think we're completely overrun with unnecessary awards (my opinion)....and yes, there are definitely going to be people who praise all the "omg, this was soooooo awesome!! you totally rock!!" comments.

but if they could set it up like they do the complain thing--where it gets put in a queue and the mods check to see what is praised and we can accept the praise or deny it.

There could also be a kind of "penalty" attached, too... if you continually praise things that are not praiseworthy, you simply lose your ability to praise for a set amount of time.

I also don't think it would be an award as the 4 are in our profiles, but would probably just be something that would show up on the main page or contest page.

Praises the comments ;)

heehee

you are in for it now...

Just doing what you said...
