Nasty comments and downratings on AC

That is disturbing. I haven't had this happen to me. I thought when you leave a comment your icon and a link to your own AC content producer page shows up with the comment itself - is that not happening in this case? I also wasn't aware that you can delete comments - that's good to know! I hope you get to the bottom of this and the problem is resolved. I don't understand people who waste time and energy sabotaging the efforts of others.

I've never suffered from it and it's like what the first poster mentioned. You can view their page and I'm sure you can mention this to the administrators. They'll handle it. Have you gone into their forums and brought this problem up? I've seen a few others in the forums questioning this as well. I have another comment in regards to situations like these. They're common especially in the world of article writing. When you write an article, you're including both the story's facts and your opinions (if need be). It seems like there's a Simon Cowell amongst the AC website. You probably said something that offended another AC member and they took it personally. Even try contacting them especially if you feel they're subscribed to you. That helps in finding them much easier. I don't see how it's so hard to figure out who it is, though. You'll get to the bottom of it, eventually.

Sorry to hear that someone has written those kind of comments..I think people should have the courtesy of not writing anything if they don't have anything nice to say..My ratings went down..but I feel it's because I am not always on ..I hope your ratings get back up..and I give you a plus..hoping that will help;)+

I haven't experienced it--maybe I should be glad I don't get more comments on my articles than I do--butI have heard others mention this. One person I met an another forum said she received many nasty comments on her articles, many of which concered homeschooling. I'm guessing the comments were about her schoolling techniques or something like that rather than her writing style, but I'm not sure.

I haven't tried Associated Content yet but I just put something up that I'm in the process of editing so this is disturbing. It sounds like AC has acquired a good case of the same sort of thing currently afflicting Mylot. Have uyou tried reporting this to the site?

I haven't had this happen to me yet and I hope it doesn't happen at all. I don't understand why anyone would do this. I wonder if it is just a spammer. If I were you if this keeps happening I would contact AC and report this person. If you figure out who it is please let us know so we can be on the look out. :)

Yes Rosa it has just happened to me do not get downhearted and report the Person every time, it looks like we have new Members appearing on here terrorizing the Site and we Members that have been here for a bit need to stop it and not let them ruin a good Site, so report every time it happens. That is what I am doing and mylot will get rid of them

There are people who enjoy only criticism. They have nothing creative work so they spend their time in only criticising. It is better to leave such people at their own and continue our work leaving such cheap comments. Such cheap comments show the quality of people not our writings. My advice is to keep on writing what you think is proper. The people will be commenting in future also. Such comments will sharpen your writing, I hope. Best of luck !!

This is really strange. I can't imagine spending their time, subscribing to someone only to downrate them. For me, I have so little time that if I am going to take the time to subscribe to the person, I would want to rate them well and have them do the same for me. If they are leaving nasty remarks, however, you must be able to see their name, right?

I try not to read the comments. In fact,I wish AC didn't allow comments, actually. There are some people who get a thrill out of trashing other people's work.
