Hey, guys, Diamondman again. If you remember, last time I talked a little about leaving kind comments. If you haven't read about that yet, you can do so here. However, there are some things I forgot to mention.

First off, with leaving comments by typing, there comes a lot of ways your comment can be misinterpreted. It could potentially be seen as rude, demeaning, or even downright offensive. It could also make that person uncomfortable if you're not careful. It's nice to be nice, but there is such thing as too nice. Don't believe me? Here, look at this comment I made a few weeks back:

The problem with my comment is potentially the way I worded it, and the way I delivered it. Maybe we should get into that.

So, writing your comment should normally come easy, right? You're just saying how nice a thing someone made is, right? Wrong. It's all about writing the right thing. And sometimes, that's not very easy. Another thing with typing is nobody can tell if you're being sarcastic or if you're actually serious. But, there's a few ways I can think of to make sure people know you're being serious with your comment.

Let's get one thing out of the way: emojis and emoticons. A lot of people, including myself, use these almost every day in online conversation. You could use positive emojis or emoticons to reinforce that you're being kind.

Another thing is wording. As mentioned, the way you word your comment can heavily affect the outcome of it, as well as spelling. I'm not saying you have to have a degree in Grammar or anything, just try to use words correctly, and make sure to spell check your comment before posting it. There's autocorrect, which can help at least 90% of the time you write.

And finally, just make sure your comment is something you'd want to see. I believe that if it's something you'd want to see, it's most likely something that others would want to see.

Don't forget to check for reactions to your comment, such as replies, likes, dislikes, hearts, etc., although this is Newgrounds, so the only reactions you'd get on here are replies and face reactions. If you're on another social media site, such as YouTube or Reddit, then... well... you know what to look at.

Hopefully this helps you, and I'm sorry that I forgot to cover this in the previous post about this topic. See you in the next post! :)
