Selecting BR for a discussion is difficult.

I have encountered a discussion today with 125+ responses. It was 3 months old discussion and yet the user has not selected the Best Response.
Most of the time if the number of responses are higher than 30, I find it difficult to give a BR to a certain person because I didn't read all of the responses and reading all the responses is that difficult too.
You could see that I have nearly 75% of my discussion which are unresolved.
What about you? Do you find it difficult or easy?

Hi sanuanu I am always happy when I get over 30 repsonses for my discussion.But this happiness is short lived as I go through all the discussions and try to give suitable comments.It is a tedious and time consuming job and giving BR is even more difficult.Just like you I too do not like giving Br without going through each of the discussions....Sometimes if I really like a comment I immediately mark it Br.At other times I chose 2 or 3 good ones and blindly give the Br tag to one at random......sigh....Is there any other way out??

But this is assured that you will not do unjustice with other persons on that discussion because there is no on entered the discussion. It could be a lesson for them that "You didn't enter my discussion and you loose a chance of becoming a BR for that!"

There's usually one that stands out. There's sort of a feeling of ,"Oh, yeah..." as I read it. That's what helps me choose a BR.

That's because your discussions are good ones and attract good responses!

Hello sanuanu! I have many unresolved discussions too. For me, it's hard to select the best response because I do think that many of those who responded to my discussion deserves to be chosen as best response. I read all the answers and I commented back on their answers. The problem is they are all quiet good that sometimes I would choose to let it unresolved than giving one. But I know I have to give one but maybe later.

Yes i find it difficult sometime because most of my discussion got responsed not more that 20 times and not satisfied with answer. but if i got good and satisfactory answer , whichever its number i select it as a best. Many of my discussion got only two to three response so that discussio is difficulty for me. I want to resolved by selecting some response "BR" happy myLotting!!

Well personally I am not the Best one to talk when it comes to giving out the Best Responses to a discussion as I am quite far behind in choosing one in a lot of my discussions as well. But personally this is what we are supposed to be doing, and what I will do is continue to read and respond back to posts posted there until I see an answer I feel worthy of the Best Response. Sometimes it might take a while to choose one, while other times I get a response I feel that fits right away. It is up to you, but others want to get a chance for a BR back on a discussion so I try and give them as I can.

In my opinion, any discussion that exceeds 30 days and at least 5 responses, must be chosen to assign BR! But some discussions have zero or very few responses. In that case, we must message our friends to respond that and then choose BR. Thanks for this nice posting and have a good day and many BRs!

With 10 pages of responses it is a daunting task to select who gets the BR. I still have 8 pages of unresolved discussions which is pending and hopefully I get to have a day to read all my past discussions and select the deserving responder.

I remember I gave BR in my discussion with only 3 responses but the response was upto the mark and it touched my heart.
I have a great fear of no one coming for the discussion because once as discussion is resolved, people don't want to enter to that. So, I give BR after 15-16 days.

It is very difficult for a person to give a best response when you have 125+ responses. I think he might have got the answer out of the responses. so i think that he can give the best response to the people who has best responded . Giving the best response is not difficult to me is more or less responses to my discussions will not cross more than 10. Some times it will stop at 5 or 6 sometimes i will get only one response too. i think that giving the best response to the only one response is difficult because i cannot get my opinion correct with that single response so i think if i have less than 30 responses i think it would easy to give the best response. i have many discussions in the unresolved . I am thinking that i will check my discussions and give the best responses when i am free , by this way i gave more than 5 best responses to my discussions in a single day. But i have many discussions unresolved i will do them when i find the free time
