Agree that only making posts should not be the focus, but discussions are equally important, not just views.
Want to point out 2 things here-----
First , for any discussion to happen , the post should have content...while some are the polls, some have pics. , sometimes we see repeating topics...
In these cases, ppl might not have much to say, so they have more views than comments.
Second, for those topics with scope for discussion, the owner should see to it that the post stays on the first 2 pages, if not ppl. forget or do not see the topic.
No one wants to go back & search for those topics beyond a couple of pages.
Hence those need to be monitored & viewed on the first 2 pages for couple of days atlest, so discussions can take place.
Hope I am not very confusing here
Sorry for my long comment.
Also agree with Mehr, comment atlest once to give due credit for the owner.
I myself should remember to do that. Thanks for pointing that, Mehr.
