Lets break this down; On numerous occasions, I have added various リンク to many different sites, and always venture back to see what people think of the link, または their reaction to it (be that positive, negative, または even criticism towards me). But over the last few months it has become increasingly obvious that people are rating the link, but leaving no comment!
The way I see it, its like breaking into your neighbours house when they're out, having a look around and using their toilet (without flushing), and then not telling them when they get home.
I don't think I am being unreasonable in the suggestion that if あなた read a link, pick, soapbox, watch a video または whatever, that あなた also leave a コメント afterwards. I'm not asking for あなた to write a new bible chapter in a comment, but just 表示する a little appreciation, または say what あなた thought... because あなた DID have a reaction to it... you're not some kind of Borg-like creature with no emotions! If you've 与えられた it 5 stars, then say it was good... if you've 与えられた it 1, then say why!
I like going back to something I 投稿されました and seeing the response of the fanpoppers.... it's like publishing a book and 読書 the reviews afterwards... あなた find out what the ファン did/didn't like and can either feel pleased with yourself, または react accordingly.
In some cases (mostly with Picks) there is a 質問 that could really スプリット, 分割 the field and prove to be debate-tastic... yet people seemingly vote for controversial choices, and then don't explain themselves! Its like an Army Chief announcing that the only way to achieve world peace is to kill all Gay people... then running away to do it! あなた can't say, または agree to, something like that and then not explain yourself!
But mostly I think the issue lies within the '5 星, つ星 Ratings'... whenever something is rated '5 Stars' it seems to be then that people don't respond, as if they feel they don't have to コメント after giving it a 上, ページのトップへ rating. Whenever I see such a link with NO comments... its like when あなた saw the cloned Ripley's in Alien Resurrection.... there is just no soul (and they might as well be deformed).
As for the リンク with もっと見る ratings than comments, it's like something is missing... like someone has stolen from the link, but not 与えられた back. So (at risk of sounding like a Telethon) lets do it, lets give back...
