Do you respond to one line discussions?

I'm not fond of one line discussion starts either. The starter should give his/her own view or reason for starting the discussion. Some make no sense at all so how is anyone to respond? Do you like to travel? not any more What kind of dog do you like? A yippy yappy kind. Do you drive a car? Yes Those are closed questions. They don't leave much to the imagination, that's for sure.

it depends on how interesting one line discussions are. some discussions maybe trashy, like what you just mentioned. but other ones are really interesting and worth responding. the starters made it one line naturally, cause one sentence was enough to express the topics.

Give the benefit of doubt to people to join here till they get the hang of things. Also people who join here and last here from what I have seen are the ones who enjoy posting. The ones who come here only to earn money will realise that by starting these one liners they are not getting anywhere and will drop out within a short time . Let's not target any particular category or race of people as we are all here to have a good time Right!. Happy mylotting

I saw quite a few of those posts in a row by the same poster a few minutes ago. I will sometimes respond to a random on line discussion, but if I see a bunch of them in a row like that I pass them up. It is annoying when you see a whole page of one liners by the same person when you are trying to find discussions that you really want to respond to.

It is irriatating at times when in a row you see such one liners and silly questions comming up (sorry for calling it silly) because you dont exactly know what is it that they want to discuss. And i guess that is why when posting a discussion it is written " please be as descriptive as possible" which people posting oneliners fail to understand. Most of the times i ignore discussions like that and when i do feel like replying to them, i write an answer with open question which even makes them answer! So we can get them to work a bit if they are thinking of making the easiest money of all!!

if only one line is a lot easier to reply than reading like a novena in holy week.

Generally I do not no. But I have on occasion. It all depends on the context. If it is in regards to something inane like - What is your favourite colour; or something like that then definitely not. But if it is like - Have you ever seen a ghost? Or something a little more specific then sometimes I may respond. On a second level it also comes down to how that person then goes on to acknowledge my response! If they just leave it at that and don't bother; then I won't bother with that particular user again either.

I partially agree with you. Sometimes, one liner discussions could be very interesting and funny. If you wish to see 'meaningful one-liner discussions', please let me know, I will send you links. One of our dear friends here, with the log in name 'Balashri', he always start short discussions but quite an interesting one. I on my part, atleast start a discussion, which has atleast few lines/contents in it.

HI dragon, I am picky but I do drop my responses to some one liner which are interesting also, a question which allows me to elaborate my answer since I also don't like to drop a single word as a response!LOL! But, very few of those I will entertain!

No I don't respond to those sorts of discussions...they are too shallow and a waste of time. Even people that have trouble with the english language can and do post discussions that have meaning. It may take a bit to understand what they are actually trying to say but at least there is some substance and we can usually work thru the language barrier. Those sorts of discussions just take up space on here and are a bit annoying trying to sift thru and find something worth posting to.

Recently, I really don't respond to one line discussion. I admit though that I had replied a couple of times. But then, I have learned to study patterns if a discussion is influenced just by making money. It's like, too many discussions and very little responses (more like 15 discussions open to 1 response). And I am not pointing at anyone, I just noticed someone or two who posts immediately after these one liners. I could just guess why. I give the benefit of the doubt most of the time especially to those who open discussions but responds to almost all, if not all, of the comments by other members. They may really be new members and are just starting to get the hang of it. Needless to say, there will almost always be someone out there just for the money. We can't blame them, just don't respond if we don't like the discussion. No one's forcing us thus[i][/i] far. Take care!

I've gradually weaned out the friends who send these sort of discussions, so I rarely see them these days. They're really boring!

I do answer one liner discussions if the thought would lead me to give meaningful thoughts in return. But I always avoid answering in one line also. I always believe that there could be instances that the one line will result in a much more meaningful and worthwhile discussion if given good and intelligent response. If the one liner makes you tired, you just ignore them and don't let them bother you so much! That is just one friendly advice! Keep smiling!!!

You will find many of those type of dicussions here on the lot. I always come across them each time I search and sometimes even my friends start them . I don't mind for the most part . Sometimes , I will see like 10 of those in a row from one person , and that is what bothers me , and the fast that they have many people responding .

I try to pass on those types of discussions because if you want to get paid for a quality response, you can't just answer with only one line. It even mentions that in the guidelines. Now, if I can really give an long, detailed post about it, then I would. Like if they asked me if I liked to travel, I might mention all the places I've been or would like to go to.

some times i do respond to them if its meaning ful.. but usually i dont start any discussion but only respond to them..

I suppose it's partly a question of experience.People new to MyLot think they can scoe big by making lots of discussions and thse are inevitably one-liners. Hopefully they learn that these discussions don't make them any money and they will then try to make interesting discussions that people will feel they actually want to reply to. I try to get about six sentences hther I am starting or replying to the discussion, and this seems to work out fine.

You are saying is right, many people want to create some twist, but they also avoiding to write some actual things which is very important for posts, when I see the posts I read all the story or post and give the replyes in satisfactory level, so that they should get some information about the topic, It's not matter that you are writting in single line or long message, it should be effective way.

Ha ha - you should have made this a ONE LINER - then you would have got your own answer! Averyone that repled does and the rest not.... Perhaps we should all take such discussions and flag them as disrespectful? There's a radical idea - then they would all be deleted maybe!

maybe you need to have a good rest,and when you get up in the morning ,you will eager to discuss somethin on your mind ,there are many interesting topics that we can talk about, so why complain/?
