And another one!

[coalcube]

I see my nemesis getting a fic that I love
And I'm like, "Fuck you" 
I guess my 10k letter wasn't enough
I'm like, "Fuck you and fuck morbane, too"
Said, "If I was a long commenter, they woulda gamed for me"
Ha, now ain't that some shit?
(Ain't that some shit?)
And although there's pain in my chest
I still comment it's the best
And runs to coal to shout "Fuck you"

Serial non-commenters

[(Anonymous)]

How do you figure out who is a serial non-commenter?

Re: Serial non-commenters

Go to their Gifts page. Open the comments to their gifts. Have they commented on their last five to ten gifts? Did they receive gifts they didn't comment on even before they signed up for other exchanges where they got more gifts they also didn't comment on?

This, but I only open the gifts they got in exchanges. I always check the collections the gifts belong to, because if someone didn't comment on a random gift they got from their friend, it's possible that they thanked them in private or somewhere else.
I also only check the gifts they received this year, sometimes last year. If someone didn't comment on a gift they got 5 years ago, it's probably irrelevant now.

If a gift they got five years ago is still in their last five to ten gifts, there's no way to figure out if they're a serial noncommenter. Generally when we talk about those, we mean people like huntress79 or obsessive_reader or flipflop_diva who sign up for a lot of exchanges then are too shitty to say thank you for all the gifts that pile up.

Is there some way to find people's comments in general? I always wonder if the people who only ever give one line comments in exchanges also only ever give one line comments at all.

No.

If they bookmark fic, you could look at the fic they bookmark to see if they comment on it, but otherwise I agree with this "No."

No and i'm glad there isn't
