Good comment survey results
A month or so ago I created a survey about what makes a good comment. I gave some reasons for people to choose from. They could tick as many as they liked. Out of the 25 people who responded, these were the results:
- A question is asked 16
- Must relate to the topic 14
- Writer knows what they are talking about 9
- Been polite 11
- Given their point of view with reasons 16
- Adds information to my post 4
- Shows humour 3
- Must be positive 5
The readers could also add their own reasons for a good comment:
- Showing a different point of view.
- Proper grammar.
- Being very informative!
- Agreement or appreciation of a point in the post
- Perhaps when people continue the conversation between the commenters and author.
- Asking people to visit your blog
- The commenter knows what they are talking about…
- No bad language and writing that you can understand.
- You both know what your talking about and putting more posts on
- No mean comment although you can disagree with others comments and posts
- When the commenter can relate to your post.
- If they have a blog of their own, so you can go and visit it.
- When they ask a question and you can reply back to keep them coming back to the blog.
- Suggestions of where next or a different direction or……..
- Perhaps a comment or question to move the conversation on or get others responding
- Furthers the discourse and fosters community growth and connection.
What five reasons do you think would make a good comment on your blog and why? Perhaps you could write a post about this very topic.

Vou responder às perguntas que a Miss W. nos dirige neste artigo que traduzi:
Cinco Razões para considerar um Comentário como muito bom:
1. Deixar-se inspirar livremente pelo Artigo a comentar, pois isto significa que se está receptivo à palavra do outro e pronto para dar um passo fora dos caminhos da rotina: a palavra criativa nasce dessa abertura ao que o outro nos diz.
2. Deixar transparecer a presença de alguém através da mensagem, mesmo se esta incluir uma crítica ou um aspecto a corrigir ou a aperfeiçoar no nosso Artigo; porque há uma tonalidade de comunhão que se expressa sobretudo através da escrita, e vai mais fundo que uma conversa rápida na pressa do quotidiano.
3. Incluir em si a promessa de voltar, pois é a dança das conversas em rodapé que sustenta os blogs e não o canto solitário dos Artigos.
4. Desafiar o Autor com questões diferentes das que ele concebeu, pois são elas que abrem a perspectiva do seu Artigo a um horizonte mais amplo.
5. Trazer também um convite do autor para irmos nós visitá-lo no seu abrigo de Artigos, onde, por sua vez, podemos presenteá-lo com os nossos Comentários.

Hey and your welcome my favorie type of dance is tap or jazz. I start pointe class this year and I think that is going to be my new favorite type of dance. I have never really heard of round dancing before.

@Cameron – Did you look up round dancing and see what it was like? Is pointe class a form of ballet?
@Ines – My google translator worked well and thanks for your opinion about reasons for a good comment: comment freely and be receptive to other ideas; leaving a comment even if a criticism can begin a conversation; make sure you comment back; challenge the ideas of the author and finally invite the author to your blog.
