Actually, if you don't join the message board, you don't have access to PM's I don't think. I tried it with someone who asked a specific question on one of my posts and she didn't have the PM feature active for her account so I could not message her. She was asking where I got the papers I used and I ended up commenting after her just to answer her question since I could not PM her and was left only hoping that she could respond.Art_Teacher wrote:So she has her settings so nobody can pm her? Sounds fishy to me. Maybe we should alert Brandon about it. If it makes you feel any better, she got tired of my gallery after about 3 days.Deanna13 wrote:oh my goodness! Bombed AGAIN this morning! Just back from my hour walk and there are 39 more! UGH! Spread it around, PLEASE!
Mine, either...not that I'm complaining. It was really fun to come to the board with lots of notifications mixed between layouts and a thread I posted a couple of nights ago that were all long detailed comments. Those are fun to come in and read!suewho372 wrote:CarrieG wrote:HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA guess this person doesn't like my stuff.... :P

oh I really do appreciate your comments and love your username too!jokeysmurf wrote:I don't post much on the message board but have been leaving comments in the gallery because I hate posting layouts no one comments on. I figure even a "nice layout" is better than no comment at all.
exactly what I thought. not to long ago there was a thread like this and made me think to hard to make sure I was saying the right thing. so now I don't comment as much afraid of not saying the right thing.Croppinmama wrote:Wow tough crowd. To me I think it's nice to get comments since I lack in that department. I leave comments about once a week because I'm lazy. I know I should do it more.
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 can see wanting to play devil's advocate here. Yes, it is true that some Cherries are accumulating 25 - 50 a day just playing games. I see that as completely different than someone collecting 25 - 50 cherries a day leaving lame, disingenuous comments on layouts. The Cherries in the games forum are participating in a game -- sometimes for fun, sometimes for cherries, sometimes for the prize. In addition, while I haven't been in the games forum for ages, I'm willing to bet there aren't many Cherries that just stay in the games forum. Maybe there are, I honestly don't know.CarrieG wrote:ok just for fun...im going to play devils advocate here...hehe
while we all know its irritating to have the *obviously for cherries* comments on layouts..that are not sincere blah blah blah by non active members..........
how else do you expect them to get more cherries????????? not everyone understands or wants to participate in a message board but they might feel they can go thru someones gallery and leave some *love* and "get the job done".......(maybe they are just 75 cherries away from their next discount..blah blah)
those of us who play in the games forum are basicly doing the same thing..........just not in quite as public way since those are no longer in the sidebar--but ive seen ppl collect 25-50 cherries during the day playing games............
YES how they are going about it is NOT polite.......but really they are just doing the same thing in a different way....
BTW--im not defending this person(s) it just popped into my mind while I was washing dishes...ROFL

I could do the same thing if the discount meant that much to me. It's not that I couldn't use it, but I'm not going to run around and pretend to be interested in products or layouts just to bump me up to the next $5 discount. And that's all those posters are doing . . . pretending that they even LOOKED at the layouts. I don't post my layouts on line anymore, but no way would I want that kind of recognition.
Totally.Art_Teacher wrote:You know I heart you, right? ;)
I understand the devil's advocate thing and believe me, I am not dissing anyone just because they leave a short comment. It is totally the volume of comments that are all the same in a short period of time. If you are doing that, you aren't really looking at the layout. So, jokeysmurf (love your screenname, please jump in here with us...we want to get to know you), and lesmitch, and anyone else who feels pressure to leave the "right" comment, please don't! This post was never aimed at those who leave a genuine comment, no matter how simple. If you are mass producing comments on large quantities of layouts then I am talking to you!
True. It's all good.CarrieG wrote:hey don't think that I am all serious and up in a wad or anything about this........I was just washing dishes and thinking about a convo I had with my 17yr old about walking in other ppls shoes and how everything has another side..and the advice I gave her..........and this issue came to mind..............and figured I could throw out the other side of it......because we all fall short of the grace in SOME way....ROFL
It's all good with me, too. I just wanted to reinforce to those who are saying that they are scared to leave comments that none of us feel that way about their genuine comments. I know there are those who are just trying to get points. I guess I just feel sort of used when they are doing this by commenting on my layouts which they are not even really seeing, but just randomly choosing.CarrieG wrote:hey don't think that I am all serious and up in a wad or anything about this........I was just washing dishes and thinking about a convo I had with my 17yr old about walking in other ppls shoes and how everything has another side..and the advice I gave her..........and this issue came to mind..............and figured I could throw out the other side of it......because we all fall short of the grace in SOME way....ROFL

Glad to hear it's not just me LOL - it is a bit annoying especially when "Just Adorable" is posted on a layout that's about the death of a family member or a layout along those lines - ya know she never even stopped long enough to see what the layout was about! She's hit me a few times in the past couple months with at least 50 comments each time and is currently, as I type, in the middle of another spree. I didn't realize I even had that many layouts posted here!redsonic20 wrote:And she just got me. 35 notifications but I guessed that was what it was ahead of time and simply removed them. Not going to waste my time reading the same thing 35 times. She should be banned from commenting.
