there are a few users who are repeating the same comment "did that help?". comments should always be a specific response to the question. we've contacted these users directly and we will continue to monitor all comments.

I think this is a very good idea and step forward to improve all of Weegy.

Just curious but are they going to get to keep the points credit for such comments? This seems a little unfair for those of us that were actually trying to make comments that had substance and for those of use actively participating in the points contest.

I am seeing this happen more and more. I see stupid comments like "did that help" and is that what you needed or "do you have another question for weegy" not answered by the experts but as a comment. Cheaters cheapen and ruin things other folks work hard to accomplish. I also see sexually explicit comments, swearing, goofy nonsense, and inapropriate responses. Even if you receive a legitimate though adult question, there are professional and grown-up ways to answer. Some of the nonsense posters do rack up a lot of points, and it makes it tough on those of us who are trying really hard to answer fairly. I took a little time away from Weegy because I was honestly frustrated by the bull. I want Weegy to develop better AI. Another problem is the fact that it automatically checks the box that states the answer is always correct, which has resulted in some really weird answers from Weegy to users.

I wish ppl would just only answer things they can answer. I also wish there was a WEEGY choice for users who are looking for an Ouija board answer. Though no one can answer these questions with 100% accuracy, it might be fun and sort of addictive for folks. Just put a disclaimer that it is for amusement purposes only and not to be confused with actual psychics. You know, the "does he love me" questions can be answered with "the signs point to it is probable" or something.

I'm glad that these issues are getting addressed. Like folks said above I am tired of new folks not taking the time to learn how the system works. It's not hard to do. Please be professional and take a little time :)

Glad that this is being monitored now because it was getting ridiculous with the unneccesary comments like that.

This is for the Admin. I just noticed that one of the same people that were making the type of comments you mentioned above is now coping and pasting other peoples comments to the same questions.

I find this in poor sportsmanship for competing with others for the points contest. I know they are doing this because I just noticed that they did it with one of my comments. This does not make for a fair situation for the rest of us that are doing things honestly.

I notice how sometimes there are comments being made and it will pretty much be the same thing that was said in the original response....or it will be "Do you have a question for Weegy?" It seems as though some of the comments are far reaching at times just so points can be had.

Sure seems like they need to start monitoring this activity again.

Now I'm seeing certain experts making more then one comment on the same question. What is up with that?
