Comments deserve to be upvoted.

I don't know about other curating teams but I can only say that the majority of Team 2 - True Colours votes comments and not posts. We try to avoid upvoting posts because all the other teams already foresee in upvoting them. We try to focus on art, creativity and if we "can not" vote the content we search for a good comment of this author.

Is it hard to find a good comment? It is not for me but it is true always the same write long comments and engage and this group is small.

At times I make a post out of a comment because I realize that:

1. I can not see what I type in the comment section
2. the comment could be read/useful to more than to the one it is addressed to.

Why are more posts curated than comments?

Posts are easy to find and if you are not a commenter yourself you don't know who is.

I don't know if you ever read True Colour's week nominations but we do nominate comments.
Why? Because the comments we curate are better and many are longer than the average post!

I agree that those who mainly comment should be rewarded because without readers and unique commenters Steemit is dead.

Commenting takes a lot of time.

If you are good there is not much room left to post!
I don't agree it doesn't take much time to write a few sentences. Writing takes at least 10-15 minutes including adding the picture. This besides of the struggle with a ridiculous small comment field where you can not see what you write (a max of 3 lines which is already filled by the "code" of the picture). Besides of this fact I doubt comments written by SC0x are read. We already see it with mod reports where a comment or remark is frequently ignored.

Also the comments left by participants of #wewrite are by far not answered. lf 4 posts can be curated per hour it is much meaning it takes 7 hours non stop curating (without eating or a toilet visit) to do 28 posts per day. Add 28 * 10 minutes typing on a phone (those few lines....).and we talk about another 4.5 hours!
The question is:
Does @atego miss a comment, interaction, do others miss it?

The picture left behind.

To me it is a nice gesture accompanied with a message. Next to that it will work as a check for the Steemit team.

We don't need it to find our weekly nominees because we save all links + info in a group.

If it comes to the "banner" left behind:
We leave a picture with a smile and it comes with a message.

Comment left by SC0x

True Colours (SC04 right now) does connect, leaves messages, does talk, makes jokes and does help if asked but will no longer spam @atego who labelled and muted us and as far as I understood it's the same for the German community unplugged. The result is we'll search for other Europeans to vote for since Europe is ignored by most SC0x teams. I assume this happens for the same reason as why mainly posts are upvoted; it is time consuming to find them.

For now I don't see any reason to change how we work. Those who do not want a picture can mention it and we simply skip them.

Is it always great to see the same picture more than once in a comment section?
The answer is no, especially not if it comes to upvoting comments but that counts as well for the banners and text witnesses leave behind and all those mod-reports.

I wish you a great Friday, it isn't weekend yet or?
