Should the Commenting Accolade Rules be changed?
Many Hubbers have a red accolade on their profile designating them as a "level __ commenter." Your rank seems to increase as you leave engaging comments on other Hubs and respond to ones on your own. All well and dandy, except the rank lowers over time.
I used to be a rank 5, and I've fallen to 2. I respond to almost every comment I receive, which makes me think that the rank is affected by the frequency of your responses. Comments fluctuate heavily and I hate to see my score decrease simply because no one's left a comment to respond to recently. Any thoughts?
I thought you only got the accolade for commenting on other people's hubs, but I might be mistaken. If the comment accolade means a lot to you, then try commenting on other people's articles
Thanks Poppy! I'm honestly not sure; I had thought it was influenced by both responding on your own Hubs and commenting on others. Either way, accolades are only accolades, and not something I'll lose sleep over.

In another thread trish1048 made a comment about comments - I found it a bit of a shock to be honest. I'd really appreciate other viewpoints please? What she said was: "What I greatly appreciate are the hubbers who always respond to their comments. Nothing frustrates me...

HubPages used to allow readers to comment on articles but did away with this feature several years ago. I thought it was useful to get feedback from readers and to drive traffic to articles. I understand it's an expense for the host (HubPages), but are there any plans to allow commenting on...

When someone comments your hub, do you comment back?I have noticed people responding to commenters on their hubs by adding their own comment. I am just trying to get a feel for how common this practice is.
