Pointless comment

There is a tendency for some posters to add a 'comment'  of "+1" on some threads.

This seems to me to add little or nothing to the thread. 

If these people cannot think of anything to say for themselves, then surely they shouldn't clutter up the thread with these "non comments".

Please could the mods remove all such comments in future, in the same way that they remove other comments (and, indeed, whole threads)?

    There are many examples of "Pointless Comment"  on this forum, Ian, and I'm sorry to tell you that  +1 comes quite low on the list as far as I'm concerned.

    I wouldn't mind the mods removing the +1s as long as they also removed similarly pointless, though insulting, comments about folk who disagree with one being called "ostriches" and "timid" etc, which frankly I find tiresome and demeaning!

    Is "bp" not a pointless comment then? (on General Chat!)

    And clearly that's not a "pointless" comment - just look between the 0 and the 9! Laughing

    If this forum software displayed the identity of the "likers" those feeling strongly in agreement with the particular post would have no need to 1+, but maybe some wouldn't like that and enjoy the anonymity

    It does display them AD! You have to be quick to notice them though! Happy

    Well just for reference the OP posted and complained, just two days ago; that

    this forum is severly over-moderated



    Now the same OP is requesting the moderators to moderate even more?

    I like the +1 it's stronger than a like but not as strong as an actual post of agreement or supportHappy.
