Commenting on Prose

If you don't know this account (which makes sense because I haven't posted in ages): I don't post stuff like poetry or stories. As my name says, I share facts, things I find interesting. I'm posting this because I heard of two small problems on this site that can be solved with one easy solution.

Unlike most people on this site, when I post something I'm not going to be disappointed if no one pays attention to it; because unlike a writer or a poet, I didn't pass lots of time creating something new and original. (or maybe you won't be disappointed, either way, you probably put effort into it and would like people to see it).

So, it's normal for people to tag lots of names in the comments, whether to share it with others, ask them for feedback e.c.t. But this became a problem for a few Prosers because people could use this to get more attention.This led to the tagging being more important than the quality. Also, some Prosers (probably accounts with many subscribers) were tired of being constantly tagged maybe to the point that if they did read everything they were tagged in, they wouldn't have time read other things they liked.

Since then I heard of a few Prosers that are 'afraid' to tag people because they don't want to be seen as just trying to get attention.

Then there's the other group: people who like to give feedback.

When you tag someone in their work you're basically saying "Dear whoeveryouare, I would extremely appreciate that you read this avant-garde. Be free to share light upon it, if you wish" (and yes, we all sound that posh).

In other words, if you don't leave a sign that you're open to input, some people are hesitant to leave it. Some have told me that they like being tagged, as a form of an invitation. 

There are many people on this site who want to leave input and people who want to receive it. Unfortunately, without the tags, this is hard for shy/hesitant/considerate/whateveryouwanttocallitI'mnottoofussaboutlabels prosers.

Or is it?

This is my idea... drumrolls please... #freecomment

Just leave the hashtag freecomment (or whatever you want really) if you want to receive feedback, and so others know that you're looking for feedback and so they're more willing to share their opinions.

I think this could've been explained in one or two sentences, oh well...

I'm just throwing ideas, and please, be free to comment.
