Nonsense, Unfair, Unprogressive Comments on Blogs

I know that every time you post a comment, you get 10 points.  You also get a point for every read on your blog.  This blog site is aimed to promote progress in thinking and action.  The comments are part of discussion and debate.  However, it is unfair and unprogressive to write nonsense comments only for the points.

I mean nonsense literally.  That would mean logging out of your account, posting a comment as a "Guest," and typing in random sentences, words, or letters, like "dflkjadlkf dkfjasljf akldfjlasdjoi."  Also, that is advertisers putting random web links, such as Home Equity Loan, which are unrelated to the subject of the blog.  It can be writing something with a point, but which is totally unrelated to the blog's point.  Otherwise, if the blog has specific questions for the audience and the comment just says, "I like ..." or "I don't like..." without elaborations and which does not even answer the question(s), it is semi-pardonable, but still rather pointless. I think that these types of nonsense are almost the same or worse than comments containing profanity.  Spelling errors - although I personally do not like them - can be pardoned as long as the comment has a point.

Some blogs are carefully thought out and written.  Rubbish comments ruin the threads and can offend the author(s).

If we really mean to blog for progress, then we should consider commenting for progress as well, or at least be to the point.
