I’ve taken note that a lot of people comment stuff like “Well done”, “Good job”, “nice” etc. just to increase their “Coolness level”. The coolness level should be based on the quality of the feedback, not the amount. I’m not sure if this is the right place to suggest this, but to one way to combat this would be\u00a0some form of minimum letter limit (which on it’s own doesn’t solve the problem). Of course i love hearing\u00a0whether\u00a0something is good or bad, but it’s the juicy part is the reason behind it \":)\"<\/p>\n
