I know that English is not the main language of everone here, and that may be part of the reason, but why do people bother to comment on someone's post if all they are going to comment is: "Ok." Don't our responses have to be at least thirty characters to count? Saying "Ok." does not fit that bill. If you don't understand what a post is about, ask and say why you don't understand. Your response will likely get 1) an answer and 2) credit in your bank. When, as someone did recently, someone just comments "Ok." on my post, I don't know how you expect me to answer. Did you mean it positively? Negatively? I have no clue.

There isn't a character limit but maybe one word responses should be avoided

I don't know if they have to be 30 characters or not, but if not they should. I think comment length limits are a good thing, as are minimums on post lengths. That would stop comments such as ok. Which to me, if there is a one word comment that means that the person didn't even read my post and is only leaving something in order to earn a penny. Miminum word or character lengths would stop that.

You should read the POSTS of some newbies! That "OK" was a lot as compared to them. Let alone the subjects they talk about in one line.

I have seen the one word responses and I am not sure they serve a real purpose either, kind of silly if you ask me!

@xstitcher I usually do the same, even if sometimes it's hard I still figure it out.

Yup, silly is a good word for it. I always try to put at least three words or more in a comment.

I did not know there was a 30 character minimum on a comment. It does make sense though. If you're going to be that lazy, why even bother.

Oh, after reading other comments, I guess there isn't one, lol.
