When Responding to Discussions...

I always respond to the interesting and smart discussions as I am doing now. The I go to have a good look at the discussions started by that person and start to respond the selected ones that appeal to me.After that I seek their friendship. So will you be my friends?

Hello margaux! The very first thing I usually do when responding to a discussion is to check my email and see if I receive any notification that my friend started a new discussion. Afterwards, I will look for a new discussion to respond. I actually rarely look at the profile of the person who started a discussion not unless I can see that we have some similarities..hehehe

Well it really depends on me. Sometimes I immediately respond and not minding visiting the profile of the author. If I found the discussions very interesting, I really check the profile of the author just in case there are still other topics that would encourage me to respond. God speed!

hellow margaux. I usually respond directly to the topic posted. For me knowing the author's profile is not needed. But I believe, one of the ways to understand deeply is by knowing the personality of the author. His personal background and affiliations. Thanks for asking this question, "do you add the person who started the discussion?", It gives me an idea to add you.

I receive notifications via email and I check those first. I don't always look at people’s profiles unless I have reason to. When there is nothing in my notifications that interests me I will try the friends started tab and new and recent tabs and go on from there. Some days I'll do a bit of”surf" of the site and see what there is that may be interesting. I used to put in requests for friends when I first started, now I am finding that I get quite a few sent to me and I rarely will approach anyone because of time restraints.

When responding to discussions, i do prefer to answer those questions that i can only relate to and i have a solution for their problems or queries. I don't mind if the host was a friend of mine or not, i am not bias. I am not looking at their profiles first before answering, it is time consuming if i do that, i answer straight away and i do mind my schedule here because i have other things to do also. I am not answering forums just because it was included in my favorites or interests but randomly, i answer questions to get more points as i wanted to reach my goal and to the fact that i myself participate for other's discussion.

I respond to friends discussions first, then new, top and recent in that order. I do not always add the person who is starting the discussion to my friends list, unless there is more than one or two interactions. And i check the profile if i get the friends request or decide to add one.

Every time i dont check the porfile to whom i respond.But some times f there is any discussion about country or about online money making discussion then, i visit to the profile, who created the discussion. After logging in to my account i am searching how many response i receive from a day from my discussion then i looked to my friends discussion.

Okay, that is a long list of questions. 1) Nope, I just read what they wrote, and then reply back. Most of the time, I will add them to my list of friends if I like their post. 2) Like I said, I respond first. And if I like their post, I will go to their profile and add them as a friend. 3) I check my home page first. Then my emails. I usually reply to responses to my discussions first. Once that is cleared, I will then start to respond to discussions started by my friends, like this one. 4) If the topic interest me, and I like to read more of what the author wrote, yes, I will add him or her to my list. Now, my turn to ask. Why do you want to know how we respond to discussions and responses?

If i find any discussion which is interesting then i first go to the profile of the person who has written it. I am not particular from which country that person belongs to nor his/her age nor gender. I respond to it and request friendship. After that it is upto the person whether to accept me as a friend or not. If accepted i am happy and if rejected it does not matter.lol

the first thing i do is respond to the discussion. then i positively rate the discussion (i always positively rate them) and then i usually add the friend after! the more friends the better right?! LOL

Sometimes I look at the profile of the person who started the disussion before I start responding, and sometimes I just respond. I look at the profile if I feel that I need a bit more background information like age or country to understand the question. If the question is really interesting, I get curious and then I also look at the profile to find out more about the person who created the discussion. I usually look at the discussions started by my friends before I move on to the discussions from my interests. Sometimes I am only able to respond to a few discussions made by friends, because I don't know enough about the other topics, and sometimes I can respond to quite a lot of my friends' discussions.

In the first place i only answer discussions which captures my interest, so I don't go check profile first before responding that person discussion. To respond new discussion i always check the discussions that friends started then respond if any topic that interest me. I only send a request if we have similarities on interest/ experiences.

I always start at home. Then from it, i will choose what are the most recent and interesting topic. I will read the discussion then if i have an idea and knowledge about the topic im sharing my thoughts. I always post what are my opinions about the issues and discussion even if it is positive or negavite. Im not going to the persons profile anymore. Like what others have said, it will just consume too much time. Anyway, you will see/know more the posters personality in what they are posting and opinions.

No why would I need to check a mylotters profile before responding to there discussion that seems like a waste of time, I only check someones profile if I'm curious about someone or to leave a comment on there profile to say hi or something, but not before responding to a discussions, besides mylot dosent pay us to view other members profile lol, at least I dont think so.

I never check people's profile first before I response to the discussion. I usually go to today's hot topic and browse if there is any interesting discussion topics draw my attention. I sometimes go see my friend started to reply to my friends too :-)

i agree with number 4.. me, i started searching from the top discussions then respond to anything that interests me then if that mylotter responded me then that's the time ill add her to my friends list..as what happened between us,remember?coz it gives me the hint that i am being noticed by the one who posted it..

Hi margaux08, Here is my answers. I don't do the first step because it takes time to do so. Unless, I encounter the same person for many discussion in my interests, then I will check his profile page. Second step is similar to the first step. For the 3rd question, I go to my interest first to check whether there are discussions that I can participate. For the 4th question, I normally add friend if we can relate somehow (like having participate in many common interests, etc).

I go to discussions,then answer some, then comment on teh ones people have responded to earlier, then my email and respond back to those, then the mylot updates discussions that are emailed to me. If i see an iltelligent sounding question and I can rememebre to ask them to be my freind or go to their profile, then I do, but I haven't done a lot of this.

I target my intrests tab and just respond, I really dont look at profiles unless the person says "check my profile for the link to a really good paying site". and I havnt added one friend yet, all my friends added me so I dont really need to do any of that nonsense when other people will make it easier for me
