I don't want to be too quick to judge without talking with that cherry who left the comments. I wouldn't want to come to any conclusions that may hurt their feelings. Maybe they don't know what to say. I usually say "awesome layout" or "love it". Maybe they really like your layout and she is scrolling through your layouts to get inspiration.
I was shopping and looking through the gallery for a year before joining the message board. I would look at the awesome layouts and then buy the paper the cherry used. Maybe it is very innocent and not what you think.
I thought the same thing at first and even was thinking that I hoped art teacher wasn't talking about my comments until I went and looked at the comments/layouts myself. The person she is talking about (I think) posted 885 gallery comments and 7700 item reviews all within a few months and almost every one is exactly the same. I know I would be discouraged to see the notification icon and check the comments and realize they were just mass produced.
I know all the comments I leave are heartfelt, although they might not be creative in my wording, and i appreciate the comments I get, it's nice to see that people look at and enjoy my work. One if the reasons I really like this site is that I feel I can share my work with others who really appreciate the time and energy it takes to create something. I think sometimes people who don't craft don't understand how much goes into making cards and layouts.
I really don't think about leaving reviews very often though, I guess I should do that sometimes.
