Hello, rima. This is a very good topic to me. Personally, to those discussions that I have started with few responses, I would like to mark the best response from one of them. As to those that could possibly have more responses, I am still waiting to have a better response so that it would be fair to the late responders. I have made my plan to have all of the discussions given the best responses by the end of the year if by now I haven't given the BR. In fact, I have also noticed what you have discovered. I think that it is better to give the BR to one of their responders otherwise some of their friends would lose interest in their participations in the coming new discussions. Sometimes when I find a very good response, I would like to give the BR immediately like I once did before. Thanks for your nice topic, rima.

By the way, I have always been rating my friends' responses to me positively to thank them for their time and responses. Positive rating only. Thanks.

No, you are right. I think that there are numerous kinds of people here on mylot, some come here just for fun, some to make friends, some to really and honestly reply to the discussions with full honesty, some just to start a discussion, some would reply back each response sincerely and some would just start if off and never turn back to even check their responses, some come here just to be with friends, some come here to share and be a part of each others lives, so it all depends what kind of a person you are.
I think those who sincerely come here as a habit and are dedicated to the site, would surely mark the responses as best responsea dn even rate them negative or positive etc. They take care,and would come here daily, i think i am like that. But there are others who just forget to do so, they are pre-occupied with other work at home so dont find that much of time to come here. Some others are there who dont want to spend time here to read all the responses and mark the best ones, and if too much time passes its tough to really choose ut the best one amongst so many.
The best option is to give each discussion about a week to ten days and there after mark the best response, thats what i do normally.

Yes, ideally there is no time limit, and we have to finalise a date when we want to mark the best response, as even 10-20 days seem less, as people still keep answering even after youi mark the best response, whenever that maybe,and incase you do cme across someone who has really answered something more than what was the best response, you can give them a positive rating and can reply a nice wored response to them, at times, words can do wonders. but as we all have to set a date when we want to mark the BR, for me its around 10 days, and we can make that to 15 days, but otherwise no definate date is a sure date, as it would vary from person to person and we all need to decide that upon ourself and not forget the discussion, as , as the time passes we tend to forget about what we started too.

I have the habit of checking every Sunday, if I don't do it any other day. That helps me keep up with them, cause I tell ya and I am sure you know, it takes no time at all to get behind on them.

i do the same too.i don't use to mark the best response.maybe because i am waiting to get more responses and also because is hard to decide which is the best response when there are many responses i like.so i have many unresolved discussions.infact almost all my discussion i've started
