Thumb down their comments and tell them not to do it because its worthless anyway. Its all we can do for now.

Agreed. So frustrating. I make it a rule not to comment unless I have something to say.

Thumbs down everyone of those I see. Does it matter?

Did you know there is a name for this? It is called "needbacking". Who knew?

I am new here, but noticed this problem right away.

If you get time, please vote on my invention here...

HAHAHA! Just kidding!

Is this another pimpin thread?

So, can I promote my idea here? No. OK. I'll go make more useless comments and needback my idea.

@PenisIntrovert or whatever. I know and I hate it. My last idea I actually put in the description. "Do Not Pimp your own idea here" but then took it down. I was worried it would affect the number of votes. I personally do not needback and I discourage all from doing it. I thin Q will fix this soon.

@EW. Somebody needs to trademark the term "needback". It perfectly describes what goes on. Whomever came up with that, I salute you.

I didn't read anything having to do with the topic but I can tell you that its great and it will sell!!! It's very similar to my idea which cannot be beat! Check it out www.imsofuckingstupid.com

It is also odd that a lot of people state that they voted, what purpose does that serve? In the case of "needbacking" it is likely to be a lie since spreading your votes everywhere is an influence losing activity. I am thinking that all the "needbacking" comments stating they voted are probably lying.

completely agree. Quirky needs to put a stop to it.
and there's a word for it?!? that's hilarious.

Can anyone tell me what is the highest number of votes for one idea?

Ignore the comments. Now I get emails of people asking me to check out their ideas. I delete these emails.

As the claw mentioned, don't just ignore those comments, give'em the THUMB DOWN!!!
