Is it your intention to look like an idiot?

It has happened to all of us at one point or another.  You sign in to your APSense account and there is it is, a system notification.  You've got a comment!  You go to see what feedback you've gotten on your post and  you can't help but think to yourself "What in the Sam Hill is this idiot commenting about?"

I think that on a regular basis.  Just to give you an idea I'm currently running a campaign and I have approved a grand total of 3 comments.  I have declined 6.  One was an advertisement and one was total gibberish the same repeated word the others were all comments that had nothing to do with the post.  Not even close.  Those four posters are now idiots in my mind simply because they never read what was posted.  The were trying to steal credits by using generic pass through comments.

Unfortunately for them that no longer works.  The credits must be released by the person who created the campaign.  Unless the person who created it is also an idiot, the well has run dry.  Your pass through comments don't work.

You might want to try a revolutionary idea, actually reading the post you are commenting on and making a comment that applies to it.  Then the campaign creator will be happy as a pig in slop while they release your credits.  If you make a comment that shows you didn't take the time to read the post, you look like an idiot.

Now for the truly sad part.  Sooner or later an idiot is going to come to this post and prove my words on the existence of the APSense Idiot Pool by making an unrelated pass through comment.  They will not take the time read this post which is all about their stupidity.  They will pass up the chance to learn something that helps them make better use of APSense.
