Do you check whether best response has been selected or not b4 replying?

Sometime I get sure that such and such responses of mine should be selected as a BR. Even if I do not get I would not mind. This up to the user to select. But sometime I do check.

Hi jshekhar, i never check anything at all while answering a discussion. i just go through the discussions and answer the ones that interest me, frankly nothing else matters to me. It is a marathon trying to find the right discussion and thaen i am too busy writing my answer..

No..I don't really bother when I response to any discussion if a BR has already been awarded. It has always been a practice here that discussions are recycled regardless of whether it has been resolved or not. And moreover there is no way to tell whether you are the lucky recipient of any discussions. So just plough your way through and forget about the BR. A BR is of coarse an added incentive but who could be sure of getting it.

Everytime I reply to any discussion here in mylot, I never expect any best response rating from the owner or creator of the discussion. Most often, I only reply to threads when the topic interests me or if I feel that I could share something in the forum/discussion. But like you said, gaining a best response merit serves as additional bonus for me. It's quite exhilarating and I'm quite thankful, actually, when I finally realize that I have received best responses from several posts; though I really don't count them. Further, I'm not here solely or mainly for the best response merit. I also try to share the experience I have here in this wonderful site particularly to my officemates. I find it a breeze now to refer them because I already have a proof of payment from mylot which is my first. Anyway, I absolutely love being here in mylot community. Just for information, I've been here for more than a couple of years now. It's a blessing for me and I'll try to be constantly here as long as computer usage and internet connection would permit me. Regards.

No, I don't see whether best response has been selected or not... I just look the title of discussion and if it interests me I immediately go for that. What about you? What is your criteria for choosing the discussion to respond.

For me it doesn't really matter if the person has selected a BR or not. If I can contribute to the discussion, I will add in my little bit. Just because some one selected a BR, it doesn't mean that the discussion has ended. It just keeps going.

Hi jshekhar, I like to respond to discussions which I am interested and I have much knowledge to share with the discussion writer most of the time, and I still would express my feeling and opinion though they are no longer found in the unresolved discussions page. You know very often some users here would like to mark one of the responses in their discussions as the BR though the discussions were newly started like a few hours or so. So definitely I don’t check whether the best response in a discussion has been selected, as long as the content or questions asking suit my taste. Happy posting and take care.

I do not check if there is a BR or not, I try to go by the discussion and if there is something I can share or not. (I take too long to give BR as well, it is something that I picked alone the way since some people seem to like to answer to unresolved discussions but it is not something that I personally like.)

hi jshekhar, As for me, I do not check whether best response had been selected or not yet. I respond on the discussion for the sake of responding but not expecting for my response to be the best.Our goal here in mylot is to participate by giving quality discussion. And as long as I know in myself that I give my best in responding, it is fine with me.I just focus on the topic that was started. And then think carefully on how will I respond to the said discussion.I make sure to it that anyone who can read my response can understand it.I give examples if needed just for my statement to be clearer to the readers.

Hi there , No i don't check whether the best response has been selected,i just look for good topics to discuss and if i have a good points to be added i keep adding ,it doesnt matter to me whether or not the discussion is alreasy rated

I do check. Most of the times, I just skip those topics as the user has got what he wanted. Only if that best response doesn't look best to me, I'd answer. Similarly, if some one given reply as the same as I was thinking, I skip them even the best response hasn't been selected. Sometimes, if those responses missed any vital information, I'll add it irrespective of the best response awarded. When the OP got the answer he wanted, why should we add up another answer, unnecessarily? This is just my opinion.

Well...i don't check whether best response have been selected or not..as long as d discussion interests me.also sometimes wen there r over 20 response....checking is not possible.Though getting a best response does feels like being rewarded but..im here to share my views n also know others opinion about a topic..dats d prime factor.

I personally thus far have only responded to discussions that intrest me. I didn't even know we could check if there was a best response selected? If my response is the best response how do I know? Do I get a message or something? How do I check if there is already a best response? Do you earn extra if you are the best reponse? Inquiring minds want to know!

Well, to be honest, sometimes yes. But then again, a second opinion doesn't always hurt. :D

not really, i still respond to the discussion even though the best response has been selected already, so that i could voice my opinion about the topic or add more information to the topic that will help them understand more about it. and if the topic interest me, i will respond to the discussion even if the best answer is already chosen..

inever ever check whether best response has been given or not.i always respond to a discussion inspite of the best response tag.usually,i donot respond for the sake of getting a best response(i write whatever i feel like writing)

Hi there! Not really but I don't post to discussions which already have lots of responses posted to it because more likely, someone has already given the answer that I am going to post. As long as the discussion doesn't have more than three pages of responses to it, even if there is already a chosen best response or none, I will post a response to it.

No.I don't check.If the discussion is really good and i have something to say i will respond to it.I have responded many times to the discussions after selection of best response also.But it should be recent discussion.I dont respond if the discussion are old.

i dont really mind for the best response if it has already selected in the response as ong as i am interested on the topic and i can give more information to the owner of the discussion, i dont really matter with it. If it is not close or still on the go then i will share my thoughts to them.

Good question, my friend, I also notice this questions. First of all , I don't check it too because I can give a comment quickly to my familar discussion even though I can't get the best response, and also for my interesting. But I think there really are somebody check it. I consider this is a not good thing. For discussion starter, he can't select the best response earlier since maybe choose the best response meaning the discussion ending up. For responder, he don't mention the discussion which has selected the best response even though this discussion is very well. Finally, a bad cycle coming up.
