I have a suggestion for SW

Why is the only honour an OP can bestow on a comment "Best"? Comments can be an awful lot more. I would have posters be given the option to mark comments as:
• [b]Most interesting[/b]
• [b]Most challenging[/b]: in a good way, of course
• [b]Funniest[/b]
• [b]Most constructive[/b]
And I'd also want razzie awards:
• [b]Most dishonest[/b]
• [b]Most crass[/b]
• [b]Most unforgivable[/b]
• And my top priority: [b]Most irrelevant[/b]: I'd be giving this one all the time! [i]Nobody[/i] who comments on my posts manages to stay on topic! For that reason, I want to rank them! The top 10 most irrelevant comments on my posts!

I think I might pin this one.

Or…the OP can just tell the person those things in a reply. Marking “Best Comment” is a way for the commenter to get coins. I’m not even sure many realize that or even use the button.

It’s better to just interact with folks…not just press a stupid button.

@Pinkstarburst then why is there a Best Comment? Clicking a button that only the OP can click is meaningful

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP It’s to give people coins. I’m not a best comment giver. I don’t look at replies as a contest. I enjoy the interaction that a post brings.

But I also don’t post Q&A much

@Pinkstarburst I agree....words are more meaningful.
I also rarely use the 'best comment' thing unless one comment really stands out above all the rest.

@OogieBoogie I honestly forget it’s even there.
