I did not know i would get comments for commenting on my blogs. I do know that is always best and a great way to interact by commenting on every comment that someone left, so it could encourage this which would be good Roy Kelley

The logic is that points are an inexhaustible resource.

They should be awarded generously in response to every character a participant types.

It still maxes out daily after 50 total comments, so not sure that commenting on our own posts really has a significant impact on point totals.

I think that awarding points for comments you make on your own blogs increases conversation. Because you are usually responding to someone elses comment That may be the goal. This isn't a problem for me.

I'm not sure. The old way was that you just got points for the 1st comment you left on your post.

But honestly, this doesn't bother me.
