We LOVE the comments we get on Tip'd (yes, it's true the average Tip'd user is smarter and more civil than those you encounter on other social news sites). But we wish we got more of these comments! So how can we better encourage discussion on Tip'd stories? As a community member, what would make you comment more often?

Time, my friend. Time. At the moment many regular posters are bloggers, I think. The same isn't true for say Digg. I'd enjoy the peace while it lasts... you'll be implementing discussion moderation and anti-flame wars before you know it! :)

True enough, Snouty. We owe the financial blogosphere a lot of gratitude for getting behind Tip'd like they did :-) A lot of that was due to the hard work of Jim, of course!

I feel like the amount of comments is a good level for the traffic and tips. Every comment I read here is quality, and I can't say the same about Digg.

I believe that you have a more professional crowd here at Tip'd versus Digg, not to take away from Digg but they probably have a bunch of young kids hyping a lot about nothing. Where as this site you have financial bloggers wanting to build on their own sites as well as investors looking for quality information

Yup I'm certainly not arguing that the members at Tip'd make better comments than at other social news sites :-) We're just trying to encourage more comments, is all. Obviously the easiest way to do that is just get more users and traffic overall (which we're doing), but we also want to encourage more discussion from our existing users! Maybe we should give a prize to the top commenter each month :-)

The trouble with top commentator type stuff is do you do it by volume or quality? It's easy to end up with lots of 'Great post!' type comments if the former. The latter is hard to judge (unless you introduce tips for comments, like Reddit etc)
