When you points answers in a question, why would you say + whatever and nothing else? Is it to get attention? You do know it fills the comments section of those that ask the question, don't you?

• I can see doing it for one or two, but if you run through the answers in a question and points them all, to do that to them all?

• No, that seems rather senseless.

• I'm talking about doing it in a question, and plussing every answer.

• I am talking about in your profile, in feedback. Like in congratulations threads, when the asker comments in each one, then someone comes along and says + whatever, in each answer. The original asker's feedback gets filled with comments, from it.

• Keysha: thank you for your feedback. I understand this could be a little annoying if it happens very often. On the other side, I see it as a positive reaction from people who have seen your answer, but don't want to invest too much time in commenting. I have nothing against positive reactions, in the contrary.
  Anyway, you know who they are, and you could probably talk to them about it, if you find it annoying. For instance, they could just rate some of your answers without comments, and give in the end a single comment, like "I have just been looking at some of your answers".
  In all cases, I find it nice if some people take the time for rating, this this is not so widespread!

• Lol. As an example... Someone starts a congratulatory question about someone else. The asker comments in each answer, thanking them. Then along comes someone, and gives everyone in the question that answers, even if it is 45 answers, +6. And the one that uprates then says, as a comment, in each answer, "+6" with nothing else. That fills the question answer's feedback with like 45 answers that have comments of nothing but "+6". I find that annoying.

• Keysha: I see your point. I was not very much involved in congratulation questions lately, so I don't have too much to suffer under this.

• I tend to think so. You could always leave a word or two comment.

• I understand that. I'm more talking plussing every answer in a question, especially when there are several. I'd rather they give a comment like 'nice' or 'I agree', personally.

• THIS I prefer. At least you said something besides "+5" many just do that, in comments, with no actual comment.

• I'm talking of points given, then a comment saying +5 or whatever, with no other words, and doing it to every answer in a question.

• I never, ever give points with no remarks more than once, mostly because I love getting comments myself. I even like the negative ones, and I'm pretty good at talking the bad ones down! Turn that frown upside down! Really, I do sometimes give a little, and let it be.

• Well, I for one, don't like having my feedback pages full of new comments that are nothing but "+5" or whatever amount, with no comment.

• If you think that's senseless then your in for lots of treats at AB. Like why do people put a space between the lines in their comments?

• To break up comments and make them easier to read. I've been here long enough to know trends, and that particular trend that you are doing now, is one that can go away. I'd rather not have points than to fill my feedback with notices about them
