Guideline Violations?

When you're scrolling down through the responses and comments on a post, do you ever see a succession of comments from the same myLotter that are usually slight variations on the theme of "That's nice to know my friend" or "You are right my friend"?
Do you respond or comment on such posts, or do you just follow the myLot Guidelines and tap "Report"?
I know the Guidelines say you can also block such myLotters so you don't see their comments, but do you ever try that and find they've blocked you, so you can't block their non-value-add comments?
This is where you will find out what kinds of behavior are accepted and unaccepted on myLot. When in doubt, remember the Golden Rule!

Sometimes that's all that one can say... my friend. 
Those responses may not add anything to the discussion, but they ARE responses. We'll have to check with JJ if they count for anything.

@JolietJake And if they are comments to responses on their own posts...?
With the advent of the keyboard and the computer technology we hardly 'physically' write this days. It has been said that one's handwriting is unique to the...

@JolietJake They have me blocked, but I can still see his every comment on each response to his post. Annoyingly. And a lot of them are generic, if you ask me.

Are you saying they're putting multiple responses on the one discussion or just putting the same comment on many? I would mostly ignore them. If I noticed a lot on one discussion I might report them. So far I haven't blocked anyone - and now of course I'll probably find reason to.

Sometimes it's so obvious that they type those comments without even reading the discussion. I mostly don't respond to them. I don't really use the block feature, but I do report discussions that I know violate the guidelines.

I've only noticed that when that one dude was still here. He drove me (and many others) crazy, pgn!

@sueznewz2 Perhaps the lone smiley or emoji can be overlooked, a bit like repetition of the small words "the" or "as" in the Radio panel show "Just a Minute" is overlooked...

I have seen some of those, but have not bothered to react to them.

Probably just ignore but I dislike non-comment comments!

@asfarasiknow Much ado about nothing. Yes, there are regulars who fall into that category, thankfully there are more who fall outside it . Present company included

@pgntwo There was one member (who I think has now gone) who built up over 100,000 items of activity iin a matter of months. I don't think I ever saw anything they posted that could be said to have any substance.

i respond to just one comment, not the series of comments or responses with different words but the same meaning.

@ridingbet I have not picked up on intentional double-posting too often lately.

@pgntwo even double discussions but just rephrased. it is like fooling the readers and commenters.

I don't think there is a lot that can be done sadly enough. I mostly just ignore those comments

Sadly, I have occasionally done likewise, after dropping a comment into a conversation where I have seen such behaviour. In the odd case where I am blocked, it raises my ire, as I can do very little to guide things to an amicable conclusion. Bleh!
