MAKEUP POINTS CANNOT BE TURNED IN MORE THEN ONCE A MONTH!
Meg here! OK- I thought I had been really clear. Makeup points will continue but now you cannot turn in more then once a month. The points are a way to say "Thanks" for being a part of our makeup family.
If the only reason you are part of the family is to get "Free Stuff" then this is not the place for you. I am hoping knowing you can only cash out once a month will discourage those of you that are leaving completely no insight at all in the rush to cash out your points. It is highly insulting and I hope those of you that are doing this will stop.
I am also discouraging repeat comments (like 3 under one post) like
"Looks Nice"
"Oh, it comes in Purple"
It's an obvious attempt to just wrack up points and it is really annoying me. SO-If you have something worth saying then say it. Don't leave one line that teaches us nothing. I told you before, I watch how each person contributes. If I feel you are just contributing to get get product then your 250 Points will get you an inexpensive lipgloss. So there's the last warning. Please spread the word!!
For the thoughtful commenter's, thank-you, I appreciate you and I know that our readers enjoy hearing whats on your mind!

It does really suck to take advantage of such an amazing program brought to us by such a generous woman. But even more than that this kind of behavior really detracts from the beauty of this community. I find it really difficult to weed through the massive volume of throw away comments that do seem to be left just to earn points. I know that I don't always write a novel or have all of the answers. But I really try to be a part of this community in positive and productive ways. I learn so much from this site and I adore the friendships that I have made. For those who are only trying to get points you are really missing out on something awesome. Finally, I would like to add that I have noticed that people often don't seem to read everything in write-ups and posts. This is another area to miss out in. I have seen people post questions in a review that were just answered. I know that we don't have time to sit and read everything. But if people are taking the time to write on a subject that you are interested in try reading it. You may learn something. Or you may be able to teach something.Sorry-I will get off of my soap box now. Love you all!
It's horrible that people are abusing the point system. I've racked up a lot of points in the last couple days but that's because I've become addicted to this site now! And I think I'm going to be spending more because of all the amazing reviews then I'll ever get back in freebies.
I really hope I don't fall under this category. I love this community. I have learned so much in the short time I have been a member. I will admit the free swag is what made me first look at this site but that it became very clear to me from the first visit that this is much more than just some vague blog about makeup. It stands out. It has a purpose. It means a lot to me. This is a community of strong-willed women with opinions that are independent, honest and 100% authentic. I can look at this site with curiosity and awe because I know that the people who leave well thought out messages are really leaving their honest thoughts on a product. There is no bias on this site. With that I would like to thank you Meg for calling out those people who do just leave comments like 'wow looks awesome' or 'sounds nice'. I know at times I leave a comment like that but I really do appreciate this site and the honest opinions shown. I agree that those that don't read the entire post are missing out on something special. You may have just missed out on learning something valuable about a certain product. If it doesn't interest you....then just don't bother responding for 'free stuff'. It's rude and you are completely raiding the system. It's unfair to those in the community that truly care and value the opinions stated in this forum. Maybe this being brought up and the once a month rule will weed out the bad ones.Kristen
Kellie, you said it! I enjoyed this site even without the points. And why? Because of the relationships, the great and candid reviews, the sparkling comments... learning about products and getting to know the people in this group. Meg's been wonderfully generous in sharing the goodies she receives, and I love the program. It has prompted me to interact a bit more than I used to - and I think it's done the same for many of us. But please, people, if you're going to post something, at least have something to say! And now, I'll turn MY soapbox over to the next person!

Wow harsh 0.oIm totally guilty of the "It comes in purple comment". But honestly... I was just very excited. I do tend to get overly excited, and obsessive about stuff and can't control it :DGotta tone it down on the OMGs and DUDE!!!!!! and LOVE this stuffs!! ;)But I hope you don't take it the wrong way. Lol Im not trying to scam anyone. Infact I cant even cash out until after I move in a week or 2 because my adress will change so Im in no major hurry.Pretty excited to move and not much to do in my empty house but cruise through this site and my tanning site.I do love being in an online community, especially one about beauty!:D:Doooooooh and I just discovered the Edit button. :SI was about to reccommend we get an edit button... when... I realized it was there. I was under the impression we couldnt edit our posts :O

punkeydew I just saw your "It comes in purple comment" and almost died laughing. If I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about it. It was clear you meant it to go with the post you had just posted. Also, I have a quick question for you. Where is the edit button? I was trying to find it today and couldn't. I really wanted to edit too, but just gave in and made a new comment.
I had wondered about this a few days ago and actually mentioned it in my post a few posts down.. it looks to me as though you can edit posts on blogs but not forum topics.
Finally! Meg, you are right and several women and I are angry! I was commenting on a product last week or two weeks ago and, while pulling everything I could from my experience and insight, noted some of the comments were "Yuk," "I should try it," or something equally transparent. A friend of mine says "Character is what you are in the dark." I agree. Kellie, I concur. The "users" are missing out in terms of knowledge and friendship and it's obvious by their terse replies. Mileena123, that was beautifully worded! Please--there are women here who cherish this site and Meg's kindness; obviously you've found it doesn't occur elsewhere. Don't use her. She set out with a pure heart, meaning to encourage, and you're turning her plans into something ugly.
Champ, you're friends with Dwight L. Moody? ;)
Meg, thank you for saying something, and I hope that those on this site will recognize and change their behavior.Like kellie, I've become a little saddened and frustrated by the number of commenters that clearly do not take the time to read the posts that have been written by fellow Megheads.I must admit, I do get a little carried away and frequently talk about other stuff in the post and forget to answer the question you have at the bottom...
♥ bluedevilkittyhttp://mtycer.weebly.com/
but sometimes what i need to say just takes one line. im typically a woman of few words...
I had been noticing those types of posts as well. I come to this blog searching for kinship. I love to read reviews on products before I spend my hard earned money on them. I also review the things I can. I may not have access to "of the moment" products for reviewing, but I do hope my reviews on some products helps a woman with her purchase.This blog is for finding a kinship with fellow ladies and written TRUTH about a product. It is not to come here and read a bunch of FLUFF because someone happened upon this site for free stuff. I hope everyone has been truthful with their reviews as I really relish it.Thank you to all the ladies who are here because you are looking for valuable, honest, no holes barred opinions.

I have a question. Does this mean we can turn in points once in July, once in August etc or does it mean that we have to wait 30 days in between?
Thank you for pointing this out Meg! I am a new member and I have been racking up points rather fast, but I do try and put something valuable into all of my posts, although some may be shorter than others. I'll definitely think more about my posts from now on though, ad make sure I am really contributing something to the community and not just saying something for the heck of it. I really do love this site and all of the awesome women here! I visit a lot of makeup sites and blogs, but this one is unique, and not just because of the point system and freebies. You guys are all great!
I haven't seen much of those comments around, but it does make me a little sad to hear about it. I'm not going to lie and say that the idea of some free bootie didn't have some influence in me joining the blog, but now I am here I barely even think about the points system!It is great to have a forum where so many wonderful ladies can give opinions on so many products. I can't buy anything anymore without checking what has been said here!!Like what ref said, this place is definately unique (and not just for the freebies). The warmth and sincerity of everyone here has just been amazing -- and I am so glad I was welcomed and have been treated with respect.Thanks for having such an amazing blog Meg!! :)
I might be an abuser, actually. I like the chattiness of this website though - I'm unemployed and have several prospects, so I need to be at home ready for the phone call/e-mail so I just kind of sit around all day waiting waiting waiting.This website is good company.
I joined because I thought it would be fun to have another place to talk about makeup. I honestly don't have any "girlfriends" outside of these online communities. I need these connections with other ladies to stay sane. :) It is sad that people abuse the system. I hope that none of my comments are misconscrued as a lame attempt to earn points. I want to contribute, make friends and have FUN. That's what this site is about. The freebies are a nice bonus but not the soul reason to be here. I couldn't imagine how the site could stay running if people could cash out any time they want. Quite frankly getting free stuff once a month should be enough of a little pick me up without people taking advantage of nice people like Meg.
I'm the same way! I'd go nuts if I didn't have a place to go to chat about girl stuff. By the way, I'm working on becoming a vegan!
I'm sorry that this even needed to be said. I was noticing that more and more people were joining and then racking up points like crazy...a little disappointing, but I was hoping that they would quickly see that was not the point of this site. Hopefully this will be all that is needed for that to stop so that we can all just get back to enjoying each other and our collective advice & recommendations! Thanks Meg for putting the kabash on this!
I'm still a newbie here, but I do recognize the vast difference between a thought-out, meaningful comment and a hasty comment posted simply to earn points. It's certainly not all about the length of the comment, but more about the content. Although I really appreciate the point-earning aspect of this community (earning points just for reading and talking about make-up, really?!), it's the content and the members here that have me visiting this site and the forums daily. Meg, your site has quickly replaced television for me! :O When I get home from work and want to relax, I skip the trash tv and head for the forums where I can chat with other ladies and share insight on make up and beauty. It's been feeding my growing addiction to make up!!I love this site and I hope it can continue to be a community of ladies sharing their valuable thoughts instead of becoming simply a way to get free swag.
I can't believe there are people who would be a part of this community and just stay because of the possible 'freebies'.. :|I joined because I wanted to read your and your friends' various wonderful, quirky and amazing posts and learn from you all. I also love that this is such a 'grass roots' community and that each and every one of us is treated with the same respect and reverence that the main posters are.Thank-you for hosting such a great site and being so generous with your thank-you gifts to members. /Raises glass of champagneHere's to this site continuing to teach me valuable lessons about life, love and makeup!/Takes a sip
Like ref26, I'm also a relatively new member who racked up the points, and for a similar reason :) I too have a lot of time - and - the worst for productivity - a phone with internet! haha! Although I'm not unemployed, I only work two days a week, and I'm really just getting ready to go to college - hopefully with the perfect makeup :) Meg's Makeup is helping me with that, and I would contribute to the community whether or not I got the points - although I must say that they are nice :)
I love the way that this community is so much more close-knit than any other makeup community online, and I really hope that never changes :)
xoxo
I know I'm occasionally an offender of the one liner, but I try not to be. Usually I try to think of well thought out comments.It sucks that people are abusing the site. There's definitely a lot of people I've noticed that do that. I know I've racked up a lot of points in the past month but it's really just because I do like this site and I find it pretty addictive.The free swag is awesome, but I would spent time on here even if I didn't have the option of getting free stuff. Makeup is my hobby, or maybe even obsession, and I don't have any friends who really care about makeup, so I love coming here :)
Thank you Meg for making things clear. I am still very new here and getting used to the site so I might have posted some comments like that. Very sorry about that, have not meant to spam or abuse the system. Won't happen again. I think I just got excited the first couple of days. Like someone else said I am also one of those people who don't have any friend to chat about make up so therefore I am very happy to have found this place and hope this will continue being a fun place to learn about make up even in the future. I guess things like this is what always comes up when a page expands and becomes more popular. And therefore it is good to set up rules and boundaries before it gets out of hand.
Thanks for posting this, Meg. I'm relatively new, and actually didn't post much at all at first because I was afraid of appearing like I was just in it to get free stuff. To be totally honest, I really didn't believe it was a totally legitamate offer when I first heard about it (not a scam, just not free). I thought that it would be a site that you'd review products and maybe you'd earn points that you can then use towards purchases or something, kind of like being a Beauty Expert on Allure's site. It sounded too good to be true to get free gifts just for talking about something I love to talk about anyway! But I'm always open to checking out a new forum and possibly making new online friends. The fact that everything you promise really IS legit just makes it a cherry on top of an already delicious cake!I have started posting a lot more recently though, as I've seen what a great community this is and how open the women are. There doesn't seem to be any cattiness or drama like on so many other forums I've seen or been on. I was a little afraid it might be like MUA, where a lot of the women act like they're superior simply based on the brand of makeup they wear. I haven't witnessed any of that here, but a lot of women who are supportive of each other and take time out of their lives to try to help and answer questions and give advice, and not just on makeup.I'm a freelance artist who works at home on her pc, so I'm on here ALL DAY LONG. So I always have a forum open to talk on, it's really the majority of my communication with the 'outside world' other than my fiance. And he doesn't like talking about makeup, so I can't brag to him about how amazing my lashes look with my new mascara, or complain about the ruddiness of a new blush. He just doesn't care. It's nice to come on here and feel a sense of camaraderie. So in short (lol, sorry, I can sometimes ramble on and on), I definitely appreciate this community, and Meg for creating it! And I am still trying to get the hang of an unfamiliar system, so please correct me ladies if I do something wrong/innapropriate. :)EDIT: And something I meant to ask but forgot, and this edit actually pertains to it.. if I forget something in a post I like to go back and edit it to add to it vs making a new post.. but I've noticed that sometimes there isn't an edit option. Is there something significant about that, or a certain time period that you have in which to edit a post? Is it just your most recent post that has that option?EDIT 2: I think I figured it out.. I have the option to edit my posts on the blogs, but don't seem to be able to on the regular forum posts. Good to know!
Thanks for pointing this out, Meg. I just joined yesterday, and in my flurry of poking around and learning about this site, I too may have posted a few short/possibly uninsightful comments here and there. I do try to stay on point though and offer my sincere feedback on items/issues I have experience with.I also want to say that, so far, I am absolutely addicted to this site! I love that it not only discusses makeup, but also goes into real life issues as well. Thanks to all of you who take the time to share your honest experiences, whether its about a new makeup item or just something that happened to you in real life. I definitely don't have all the answers, so I am looking forward to learning from all of you!
Dear meg,It must be so hard when you are trying to give something in return to says thanks, I appreciate your knowledge and opinion. Then you find a few that are cheating the system. All I can say is they know who they are and what their real intentions are. One may think, how unfair for the other members... But I tend to think that everything that goes around comes back around. Genuine people that receive gifts and appreciate them glow within ( They are truly beautiful). Those who's hands are wide open just for the gift, show greed. ( Unfortunately not too pretty inside).Artcandy

I can't really believe that people would spam just to get free stuff, but then again, people spam just to be seen /shrug.I feel a little guilty for the opposite reason. I look at this site all the time, and read the comments on a product to see what other people think, and never really contribute myself (even when I have new information). I'll try to get better!
I think at the beginning maybe the quest of points is the reason why we subscribe I got my first 250 point really quickly cause I didn't know the website at all I had somthing to say about everything but know I moderate my messages cause they arnt new products and I have rated all I knew already...I wish MEG that we could erase our own comment sometimes cause when i forgot to say somthing really important I have to writte it in another comment and it makes me feel bad like I am trying to make 1 big comment separated in 2 or 3 and it's not true ! =(and I think the forum where we post our own topics shouldnt let us earn point I mean girl can be VERY talkative and I don't think it's FAIR to get those points but it's just me !I really do love your website MEG the girls are great the TOpics are excellent and you are so Generous !I am an administrative assisant I work on a computer form 8am to 6pm and I can get bored really easly I am gald I found megsmakeup.com PS : I am French so excuse my broken / not correct EnglishEDIT : I agree 100% with the 1 point per Article even if you post 200 messages !

I'm sorry that you have to put up with people like this Meg. :(You're such an amazing, generous person and this site is fantastic. I hate that people take advantage of that.I love that we're all encouraged to share our views and opinions on a number of different topics, not just makeup and beauty related stuff.
um... I am kinda just a chatty kathy... is that not ok? I mean like, should I not post if I appreciate a post and say "thanks for the tips" is that an abusive post? I just want to be clear- and non abusive : )Thanks for the site!!!
My problem is the opposite in that I blab on too much about the product's.I actually was thinking that -about say you remember something you wanted to say and add it on or reply to a post or answer someone makes after your post should you really get more point's-mabye if no matter how many times you commented on the one article you still only got one point?I'm trying not to comment about things I have no advice to give about though,like if someone want's advice about a relationship and my comment isn't going to help in any way,I leave it to the women who know what their talking about but if I'm ever talking too much feel free to tell me shut up and I will.Meg what your doing is amazing,everything about this site is stand alone and I'm glad your able to take control so well to keep it going.

Cant you change it to 1 point per product or something?.... I am probably going to get some unhappy people with me for saying that... but... I just have fun reading and posting :( I dont want anyone thinking that I am abusing. I am on other forums alot... and I have a tendency to want to be everywhere at once.... and I know generally when one edits a post, no one sees the edit in a usual forum... habit I guess?? dunno- Wouldn't want you to shut down the niceitys because people are abusing it-- I know many companies have had to :(
Oh, good thing I've only cashed in once for June and July. I think I'm a little guilty of commenting for the sake of it but now I realized that was petty. If I've got nothing good to say then I just skip commenting altogether. Thanks Meg for reminding us.
Oh I'm glad you have pointed this out Meg I'm new here too and like switch star I like chatting to everyone too !!!I do love talking to everyone and love the website :-) so sorry if us newbies are getting it wrong :-) We all chat like this on the EDM forum so we didn't know it's not like that here :-( I hope we haven't offended anyone :-( sorry ladies xxxx
As philogene and I love makeup said we do this all the time on the EDM mineral forum. I'm guilty of saying "That's cool! Thanks!" Sorry, I'll try to control myself here, but it's going to be hard with all of these useful tips! I'm kinda confused about one thing though, is it ok to make comments back and forth if it's relevant to the subject? Or should we just limit ourselves to one comment per topic?
I have to say i am a bit of an offender! but like philogene said we chat like this on edm its normal to post,then post again, and again! lol! i really love this site and i hopw that i havent offended anyone i have really only commented on the things i am interested in, but i will think more before i post from now on- i admit i have been on a bit of a mission to rack up my first 250 points! just so exciting-but regardless of the points system i do really love this site and the lovely ladies on it! I dont have any friends that are obsessed with beauty products like i am so the only place i can really chat about it is here and on edm! sorry if i have seemed to be abusing the site! I didnt mean to at all xxxxxxxx
Oh, my! I'm afraid I'm such a Chatty Cathy I always expect someone to follow my long-winded posts with a succinct "Ah, Shaddup!" But the truth is that Meg's point system is the cherry on the top of an amazingly rich parfait, and if all you are interested in is the cherry I suggest you are missing out on the reason Meg's site is the amazing success it is. It's not the freebies. Its not even the reviews, wonderful as they are. It is the women. All of them. Oh, and the occasional male, the ones who are bold enough and yes, beautiful enough, to post here. I guarantee you that Megken and Stylepappa aren't in it for the free guyliner!
like everyone else has said, we tend to ramble on a bit on the edm forums and go slightly o/t quite a bit and have little chats. I kinda did that here too as edm is the only forum i've spoke on and i kinda followed that on here. When people get a prize we all add a line of "congrats" or "ooh thats nice" (i hope i didn't add this comment, eek) so i didn't know that was wrong. sorry.
Reading this has gotten me a little freaked!! i hope iam not doing this!! I dont know alot about the products or have even heard about some of these products.. so i dont really give any info.. but i do like to leave a little something just to let the writer know that ive read it and a nice little thank you!!! This is not to get more points but to just say i read it and keep up the good work!! I LOOOOOOVE this site and i dont want to come off that i want free stuff.. although i do have to admit iam very excited to get to 2 50! i just cant help it!!! I Love you meg!! and keep up the amazing work!!!!! <3 <3 <3
Well said, Meg. It was really starting to bug me too when people would just post "Looks Nice" or something as a response for everything. I hate that people try to take advantage of your incredible generosity!
I too am new to this site...and already in love. (although my husband may not be, when I start to spend all my money on beauty supplies). I have loved so many of the things that have been posted (like the Magic of aloe honey almond scrub...which I will be buying). I have posted a lot but I try to leave well thought comments. Actually, I was on here most of yesterday posting because I had the day off.
I really enjoy the articles and many of them have a quirky quality that leaves me laughing in a room all by myself. I admit I am excited about the idea of getting free stuff just for posting like I always do.(who wouldn't be?) At the same time, I do not wish to take advantage of your kindness. I hope I will not come off that way.Keep up the wonderful work...and keep those posts coming.
I'm not going to lie, the site was advertised to me as a way to get free makeup so I came and joined. But now? I come to work and log on to start off my morning on the right foot. I love makeup and being a girl and I think this site encompasses that. It's not just about beauty, it's about building self-esteem and health and just literally-all the fun (and sometimes annoying) stuff of being a girl. I now love this community and love the passion that Meg puts into this site. I think turning in points once a month is more than fair. It's going to take me a couple of months to get to 250 points and I visit the site every day!
Hi Meg, you have an amazing site here and I am sorry to hear the system has been taken advantage of. I am new as well and trying to get my bearings with the site. I know I do not always have something articulate to say other than to thank the poster for the review, I hope this is not construed as taking advantage. I love reading every contributor on this site and am so glad I signed up!
I have noticed a lot of one liners....which I think is ok if you are saying something meaningful in your one line. I don't think the point is the make ur comment as long as possible so it LOOKS like u put a lot of thought in to it. I might only take 3 or 4 sentences to say what u need to say....but say something! Not just the "looks good"...that is really annoying and sometiimes it discourages me from reading good comments cause u have to weed through the pointless ones first. Everyone understands that when you are new, it is easy to rack up points quickly because everything on the site is new to you...but once you have been here a while....ur points will start to slow down because you will be all caught up with old posts. And believe me, this is a closeknit community so if you continue to be guilt of empty words, Meg's army will come to her defense!Everyone is welcome here and it can take a minute to learn how this site works and what is acceptable...no hard feelings =)
Meg, I'm glad you're laying down the law with this. The free gifts are great, but what I love most about this site is the insight people on here have and how people are always letting us know about new products and tips and tricks!I have learned so much here already! And it has really helped me. Whether it be about my skin, makeup or just sharing exercise goals it's so great to talk to other women about these issues and hear what has worked for them. It really makes a difference and I feel like I am making more informed choices for my skin! So even if there were no free gifts at all, I'd still be on here every day!
Meg, your words speak right out of my soul (hope that's correct English *g*). I am just HAPPY that I finally found a forum where I can a. get very helpful tips on anything beauty-related and b. have the chance to meet other beauty-maniacs like me. I thought I would be one of the last out there, by far;-). Well, I'm relieved that "our family" grows constantly and I'm watching new entries, too. Not that I'm really like "watching" them, but it's getting obvious if somebody new just sends a post to about any topic/comment and really has nothing much to contribute. As for me, I can honestly say with looking at myself in the mirror (after I put makeup on though;-)..) that I would be just as happy with our forum if there were no points to earn. Period!
Make up your beauty-full mind...

Meg - may I suggest that you only award points once for each topic - I certainly don't feel like I need to be rewarded because I want to add something to what I said earlier. I don't think it's unfair at all - I think it's unfair that you have to go out of your way to accomodate people who make numerous comments to abuse the system. Really - think about it - 1 point regardless of how many comments you make for a single topic. My points have racked up slowly, and I like feeling like I'm earning them - and honestly if it's a problem redeeming them because of international mail, I won't be at all offended, or lose interest in this site, it's still ok with me. I was here long before the points - I love the camaraderie and the people and getting to throw my 2 cents into discussions. I've been watching the points system, and I think you are awarding points waaaaaay to easily. A point for each comment and each rating is overboard - maybe .5 of a point for each, and a maximum 4 a day - I'm not kidding. Given the stuff you are sending out, this is not unreasonable - it's good business sense. You will end up running yourself ragged trying to keep up with people just clicking for the hell of it. Please think about what I've said. This is not going back on your word, or the points program, this is bringing it into line with the potential for abuse, and for the value of the gifts you give. You won't lose users, if anything you will lose the dead weight. Much Loveok added using 'edit' - I also think you should limit points to no more than 1000 per year - there is no-one but no-one dishing out rewards like you do - 4x a year is ample - otherwise postage is going bankrupt you. As we say here SEE-REE-US (seriously). Anyone racking up points more than once every 3 months is going overboard, and anyone that expects you to send them 5 products for 250 points of 'Nice' is positively unscrupulous. Forum topics should not earn any points at all - nor should social responsibility topics like the Michael Vicks issue.Who else agrees with me on this?3rd add - and apologies for verbosity, but once I get started on something I just can't shut up. 10 points for adding a friend is what you should get once that friend has responsibly racked up 50 points, not for all your friends clicking on 'accept invite' so you can score....I also think that by limiting points you allow people who are sitting on the site because they enjoy it to comment and chat back and forth without piling on the points and draining you - I think a lot of it may well be unintentional, and a pruned points system would kill 2 birds with one stone.Even if you clip the points system as I have suggested, if anyone can name a single site that gives you more bang for your click than Megs', then please share it with the rest of us....I don't think there is anything that comes close.
i actually like reading comments below the articles, as some commenters provide all the extra information above and beyond of what was said in the article... and some commenters are really funny and witty people. I automatically scan for bigger comments, and read them, as i assume there is some story behind the comment. Many people have been sharing great stories or advice. I am thankful to them as much as I am thankful to the writers :)I also have one problem with leaving comments in reply to someone- i try to click on a "Reply" button, but the answer doesnt appear right below the person's original comment.... Hence, I end up posting several comments on my Fragrance poll, and I dont even know if people know that answered to them... I also wish there would be a way to get notified, when someone comments on my post. It is a nice way to keep conversation flowing, instead of jumping back a articles I commented on and trying to figure if someone answered to my comment :) Unless, this option exists and I just have no clue- which is a possibility! Let me know, someone, please...
Faith24 I have to agree with you on this as I'm getting a bit lost trying to find all the posts I've replied on and can't find them again to see if anyone said anything to me !!! And the reply thing is spot on I've tried to reply to people too but its way after when they said the comment to me and as you said it doesn't go below the person you replied to !!! Also there's noedit button if you forgot to say something. I have to say that the only other forum I'm on is EDM and we do all of what you are doing on here for no points at all we help all the new people let them know whats what and help each other. But this forum isn't designed the same so I get a bit lost :-(I wouldn't care if there wasn't any points I just like talking to everyone I am a chatter box and sometimes what you have to say can really help someone and that's what I'm on here for !!! I suggest you only let people trade points in every other month so 6 times a year and 1 comment per thread even if you post like 10 times in the same thread !!!I'm a bit upset and feel that I've done something wrong when I don't feel I have, I have had 17 invites which is how I got a lot of points fast. Sorry if I have done anything wrong !!!!
