When I set the Top Commentators Plugin to reset every week, I wasn’t sure what day of the week it will reset on. Now I know - Saturday. I just noticed this now because comment spam king, Michael Kwan, wasn’t on the list. *Completely shocked* However, I’m sure he’ll power his way back on somehow.

This is the first day of the weekly reset and I see our number 1 commentator, Alex Becker, has 39 comments already. Considering it’s only 3PM and there’s still nine hours left in the day, that’s pretty amazing. For being the top commentator on day 1, Alex gets a link on this post.

    I’m finding that alot of people leave it on monthly and you’ll see 1000+ posts - weekly makes perfect sense.

    I think it matters on how active your blog is. Leaving it on monthly(with an inactive blog makes it look more active), with an active blog, you don’t give others much change to make it. John made a great choice.

    I have mine set to monthly because comments are not that active - other sites I own I do weekly because the level of traffic. To each site - its own settings and preference

    I noticed that there are a lot more comments here now that John has changed the reset time to weekly.

    I agree. Depending on how one plays it, it can still make your blog looks pretty active. What do you know? John might have to make the reset daily sooner or later. :)

    Thanks Stuart,

    It’s been on and off all day. I keep getting this error:

    500 Internal Server Error.

    I can still access images and files, but nothing Wordpress related. I have tried downgrading to v2.1 - although 2.1.2 was live all day yesterday…

    As for a 500, is an internal Server error, its a really generic error message that means something oops server side ;)

    I didn’t notice any comments by Alex, so I’m thinking that those 39 comments are trackbacks NOT initiated by him. His blog is down (and has been down for some time). In my Google personalized homepage, it once read “Alex Becker’s blog”. It now reads “download fetish video”. It has been like that for a couple of weeks now.

    Ajith, below any of Michael’s posts, there is a link entitled “Trackback this Post”. Have a look for it.

    Yes, near the bottom (just above the comment reply box), you’ll see a trackback link. I have it set up in Wordpress, though, to automatically send a trackback to any URL I link to.

    That’s a crazy amount of comments for one day from one person. I think the title of top spammer is starting to become more appropriate and less of a joke.

    do you think smaller blogs should limit it to a Top 3 or Top 5 list to initiate the competitiveness?

    I was wondering that same thing earlier but I think 5 is perfect - if you don’t have traffic - it’s 5 free link backs - build those up and then strive for more.

    Not at all. I think having more will be beneficial because everyone will get a linkback.

    This post alone has more comments than my site has had in months. But I have to agree that the Show Top Commentator plugin has increased the comments on my own site as well.

    But I just cannot keep up with the commenting here and still have time to work and write content for my own site. I’ll just have to take advantage of the times John shares some community love and links to my site/post.
