A few tips on things I don't like to see:
- 'upvoted'. Okay, thanks, but I expect your vote is not worth much and it's not going to make me even look at your feed unless your comment is interesting. I care more about what you have to say.
- Tagging me. I will see your comment anyway, so you gain nothing my tagging me (@ plus name). If I'm getting notifications for replies and mentions then I will get two for that and that is just annoying. Again, it won't encourage me to check you out.
- Calling me 'sir'. There's no need for that sort of formality here. I appreciate other cultures may differ.
- Semi-random comments that sort of relate to the post. I get some comments that appear to be generated by some sort of AI. At first glance they seem topical, but they actually say nothing really. It may just be people who don't speak much English. If you do struggle then there are plenty of on-line translation tools that can help you to communicate better.
- Do I even need to mention 'nice post', 'follow me', 'try my voting bot'? These will at best be ignored and possibly flagged as my signature block indicates.
Let's see if any comments on this post fall into any of these. Thankfully the majority of the comments I get are relevant and interesting. Despite what some fear Steemit has not descended into a total bot-fest of mutual voting, but I'll continue to support those who deal with the abuse.
Steem on, and write good comments.
