I hate when someone gives a three or less but doesn't tell you why. That's my main bug-bear with this site and some users.

Things could be worse. A site that I frequent less and less, and you all probably know which one it is, allows anonymous voting and commenting with rather predictable results. IMHO if you don't have the level of interest to create a site avatar and then use it to link yourself to your opinion, then I'm not going to give much credence to you or your views.
The people of The United States want socialism. The people of Venezuela want toilet paper.
A recent article in "The Miami Herald" reveals that the food shortages caused by the economic collapse in Venezuela have had at least one positive side effect. Whereas before Venezuelans were having problems being overrun by herds of wild burros (donkeys), they've solved the problem by eating them. Now they have no burros or toilet paper.

I don't like the forced comment box for the exact opposite reason to Wannabe - I often score stories immediately based on my gut reaction but I then need time to think about the comment. I often add them later. Sometimes much later. A forced comment box will either get you a rubbish comment from me or no comment at all - and no score. Sorry.


Yes, this is roughly how I feel too. The pop-up comment box is like having someone demanding, "Say something! Say something!" when you might not have anything worth saying in your head at that exact moment. Some people know exactly what they want to say at once, others, like myself, need a bit of thinking time.

Personally, my libertarian inclinations mean I prefer to leave people free to vote, comment, do both or neither, as they see fit.

I'm not a fan of forced commenting. Sometimes I'll read an excellent story and write a comment immediately, then add a score afterwards (because comments don't refresh the entire page, but scores do). If my proposed score then pops up a box asking for a comment, well, I've already left one so I cancel the score: no point writing a second comment for the sake of it. Plus, I don't like the popup comments box as it's not very conducive to writing longer comments: you have to scroll too much to read it back.



Yep, this says it for me too.
