Commenting on your responders = Quality and Integrity

I used to be very vigilant in making sure I responded to every response on a discussion I started. Nowadays, I'm a lot more flighty, sometimes I'm here for 30 seconds, other times I sit here for an hour reading through responses. I don't start very many discussions now, and nor do they get very many responses so its not that big a deal for me... I do read all the responses, but tend to only answer those that anger me, or make me really grateful for their response. If someone writes a stupid, irrelevant post- one clearly designed merely to generate a cent or two, I don't normally respond though I do rate and report them. I tend to a lot of rating... even when i dont respond to a discussion one of ,y friends have started, or respond to one of the responses I have received on one of my discussions, I do rate it positively if I think its good...

Yes I make sure to leave a comment to the responses of my discussions.I'm like you even if i have to say thankyou.Its polite and i want people to know that i have read their responses.If i dont comment on every one's response i still rate everyone with a (+) because they took the time out to respond.

I always comment on almost all my responders and I do give them all a rating.But some times I really dont have any thing to add and it is against the rules to just say thank you. I dont have any thing over 20 responders. If some one takes the time to respond then I think I should acknowlege them by commenting.

Yes, I make sure I take the time to rate or even comment responders in all my discussions. I do this because it keeps the discussion going. When you keep the discussion going, more people will respond and that helps me out. I will admit that they aren't that important to me, but I value other opinions out there. I like to get a perspective on other peoples views on topics out there. It interesting and I sometimes learn from others. After all, when you learn you gain. That's the fun in Mylot. Sometimes I don't get responses though. :( Let me also say that I don't start a discussion unless an idea of a really interesting topic pops up in my head. If the light bulb turns on, I make sure I start a new discussion immediately. This is so I won't forget and then regret it later. It's happened to me a couple of times. I'll admit that every once in a while I'll start a discussion to see how many responses I can get. There was a new discussion I started 2 days ago and it's title was something like "If you were stuck on an Island or lost in the jungle, what survival skills will you need?" Actually, I thought this was an interesting topic, but I got no responses. I was prepared to give out good ratings too. I try my best comment on responders, but not every single one.

Hi SilentRose19, I agree with you. At least acknowledged the comments or responses other made. I do rate responses and comments and if I cannot give any input in their responses or comments, I will just put a thank you note. I think some members take time to respond especially those who received so many responses. Posting and responding is tedious task so it take a little bit of time.

me,too.But my English is not very good.I can not understand some sentences or words.
