Meta-question, ideally aimed at Daniel if you're reading this, but not interesting enough to email you plus wondering what community members think:
Normally I'd be against comments like "donated" that add nothing else, and would downvote them for that. But in this case, does seeing lots of other people say they've donated make other readers more likely to donate themselves? If so, does that outweigh the negative of the page filling up with otherwise-pointless comments?
I've not downvoted any, but would be interested in any opinions as to whether or not you have/would downvote them and why.
- dang 12y agoI think such comments are fine in this thread. This is an unusual case, and such things don't come up all that often. If it started to get predictable it would be a different story.
- ersii 12y agoI upvoted each person who said they donated or had something else that contributes to the thread. I reason that saying that you donated and perhaps how much, is in fact a good thread contribution. At least this time, I'll take this on a case by case basis. Generally, however - I guess I'm against it since it clutters threads.
