Why should you respond their discussions?

yeah, i understand what you feel, klaudine. it also happens to me several time. the worst part is sometimes they 'accidentally' starting nice discussions, so i keep responding the discussions. and because the topics are interesting, i occupy my knowledge, feeling, memory, information i ever got, and my whole mental power (lebayyyy ) to create thoughtful and meaningful response; only to find that the response, along with other 20 responses are left 'unresponded'. it's like somebody call you; he talk to you much and when you are answering, he just hangs up. how annoying it is! anyway, if that's happen to me, i will just take it as my karma LOL, cos in my early time in mylot, i used to acted like them :D

Hello Klaudine. I can understand where you are coming form. I often wonder if the advice that I've given is being read or taken into consideration by the ones that do not respond back at all. I guess I will never know. I know for myself, I do not respond back to everyone that responds to my discussions because Some of the responses have no need for me to. But, I always end up responding to some,and I definitely read eveyone of them. There are going to be some people on here that wont care what people write because they are only in it for the money, but on the other hand, there are going to be others that are truely out to get some advice from others! Sometimes we just wont know, but keep giving you good, honest, responses because I'm sure you will be helping someone! It is a shame that everyone isn't thinking the same way you are! Happy Mylotting Klaudine!

You really have a point in your question! I do feel the same way, but since I am practising to take everything positively, I will try and feed you in with all the good things I can think of. Of course, you are right in your way, but such a thing usually happens with newbies. I so many times expected BRs or atleast those [+] but then hardly even the people look at [+]. I believe I haven't entered those discussions which are hot and active people had replied. Most of the times I have replied to questions which have less responses. However, the good points : 1. It increases your post count + money. 2. There are members who would read your posts and there are members who would give you a [+]. I have always rated the question, atleast most of the times. And if I have got time to read the next persons answers, I would have rated it too, but I don't get it, why don't people rate me... Well, I did figure that out - I never joined discussions so actively or in active discussions. My replies were mostly to newbies, and hardly ever the new ones know anything. 3. Another good thing is every time you try to think good and big, your potential increases, and you are gonna write better - I bet you would have written your last response the best (unless you were in a mood swing! lol :D) 4. There's always a scope that your good answers will attract good friends - valuable - who would want to read you more. 5. Being descriptive is one of the goals of mylot. So why not complete it. I personally have one more - when I type on mylot, I everytime seem to be practising typing, and my speed has increased here itself! Lol... so Klaudine, don't give up, and don't worry - apart from all those thoughts of yours, there are these too, that is, if you can accept them! Good luck and Happy mylotting, Klaudine! :)

I sorta agree with you as well. I do the best I can to respond to my replies. Mylot is a discussion site, but i also feel you don't have to continue with the discussion forever unless you want to. Remember, everyone doesn't think like you so therefore, best response is your opinion not theirs. Shake it off, not everyone is kind and thoughtful as yourself. Just keep doing what you're doing and all will be alright. :)

I think because your post count doesn't go up when you reply to your own discussion some new members think they wont earn from it so wont reply to your reply when infact you get awarded very nicely when you reply to your own discussions, i earned 62 cents in one day by doing this. I think they do go to read replies but dont reply for the reason above. Shame really because so many discussions get abandoned when there could be some debating going on

hi,klaudine. Don't care about that.Do you find you have got a friendship with me by our discussions and responses .We can share our moods with each other and give the views to different problems.I think except for me ,there are many new friends on mylot,right ?? Forget this disagreeable experience and go on happy mylotting.

it actually never bothers me. the user who started the discussion may be asking for some info. i believe all user here read the discussions they get, may be they do not respond back.

I understand how you feel. I mean when you put a lot of thought into a reply to a post and you get no response you do feel as though you are being ignored and wonder why you bothered. I have never actually noticed if the same people do it all the time. Maybe I should be paying more attention. I know I always reply to people who answer my discussions. I am puzzled though about the post count not going up. It seems to only go up when you do your first reply to a new discussion. If you post more than once in a discussion in response to someone else's post then your count does not go up and if you reply to people who answer your discussions then it does not go up. I do not know if this means that you are not being paid for posts when the count does not change but if it does maybe that is why they do not bother. Maybe they are just trying to make money and are not really interested in the discussions. If so then it is a shame.

I thought about posting this very discussion last night. I saw a few people who would start 5 or 6 survey type discussions and only reply to the 1st responder when there were only 3 or 4 people total that responded. To me, that is arrogant, immature, and greedy. Only handful of the people on my friends list don't respond to my replies, but they will respond to others.. that bites too. Thank you for taking the time to read my mind and post this

Hi there! Well, I don't feel that way.. I don't expect anything from anyone here. Either from my friends that they would always comment back on my responses to their discussions. Neither, I don't think that its a responsibility of the topic holder to comment back on the responses they receive. Commenting back on responses is actually ones preference. Some make it a habit to respond back and some don't. It is also written in the mylot guidelines that we don't have to thank everyone who responded to our discussions. Usually, when you've build up a bond, thats where interaction starts and how the exxhanging of views goes where it would make or lead to a more exchange of views. There are also alot of things going on here, so many duscussions that are coming in and so users are busy trying to find interesting topics that they can respond to, to help them earn. The fact that commenting on responses doesn't help us to earn, more likely users don't comment back. I suggest just keep your focus on responding to discussions here. Don't be bothered if you were not commented back. You will only feel bad and unhappy about it. Besides, we can't force everyone to do the same as we do. Cheer up. Ciao!

I feel that every right thinking person like you has the same feelings. But friend why most people are here at my lot to tell about their self what type of people they are. First they cry and request please please help me and respond this discussion I am in need. When they get lot of answer they forget to comment back. It really pains me when a advisory response is given but it is not commented. It also happens when you made a detailed discussion and it seldom get responded it also hurt. How you see it. Please comment and have nice day.

I response their dicussion because i like to discuss about any matter it really gives me pleasure.And it is a sort of time pass.

Here's my reason for not responding to most of my discussions that I start. Because I do try to respond to most of the discussions that I start. But when someone responds to my discussion the reason that I may not respond to it is because I feel that there are sometimes they say something that I should not respond to or I just don't know what to say back. Then I also just don't want to say thank you for responding. I mean I do read what people say in my discussion, but like I said I don't know what to say in response back. So, but I do understand where you are coming from because I do post to some peoples discussion, but never get a response back. Especially on ones that I put a lot of thought into. But I think the matter here is that don't worry about it. Some people have a lot of reasons as to why they won't respond to your post. It may be the same reason as mine.

as i think that my reesponds will help them also give guidence to them janak

People on mylot should respond to others responses when they start a discussion, out of respect at least.

hi klaudine look here, I do care very much about all the mylot friends who respond to my discussions and I do try to answer them whenever I have time, but sometimes things'outside the net intrude and must be taken care of' first in spite of everything on the net. My son,our breadwinner 'has been out of work for almost a month, and we got a three' day notification on our rent, now these things take precedence'over evey thing else, we are in an emergency situation and I think myfriends will understand that and I will get back as soon as I can. okay?

I feel the same way too and what totally surprises me is that some of these people get a LOT of responses to their discussions. You would think that they would not.

Hello there Klaudine... I do simpatize with what you are saying. We try so hard to lend a hand trying to make a difference and sometimes we get no response from the very same people we are trying passing advices too. All is not lost though, as even if they don't respond they probably will read the comment, if they don't, other people will so our words are not gone with the wind. If our words won't help them, maybe they will help somebody else. I hope this won't stop you myloting, keep it up and take care...

If i were on the same situation i would not respond to the discussion at all. Why would i waste my time typing my answer when they dont even care or doesnt even bother to say thank you. A person who doesnt know what gratitude is... deserved to be ignored. I wont waste my time thinking what will be the best way i can help someone who doesnt even bother to say a word over my response.

Alot of times i really do care but i dont respond back. If you dont respond back that doesnt mean you really could careless. You should have to put in thought b4 making disscussion i agree with that point in which you have.
