No Response

i think the main reason why they dont get responses is because what they post they haven't explained properly so others understand it. Also as your saying the english is poor and also the topic just doesn't appeal to others. They should think about what interests others and not just themselvess.

there are several reasons on this problom. without appropriate tags ,no attractive topics ,the content designated are meaningless,I think they are the main reasons why they received less responses .

Hi lampar, The reason behind it is,there are lot of discussion which are been repeated and many of mylotters are not interested to reply the same discussion again and again.Sometimes even i couldn't understand what they are able to express in their discussion.Because of these reasons i hope they might be plenty of "noresponse" discussion in mylot site.I advise all the mylotters to think well and start a discusssion in such a way that everybody would be attracted with it than there won't be any no response discussion tab in the mylot site at all. Have a nice day

I go every day many times to the no reponses discussions and respond on many of them. I very oft4en meet the new users by doing it too. I think the reason that there are so many is becuase users think that it is more important to start new ones rather than respond on the ones already started

well, probably the discussions were not enticing enough. That's the only rationale that makes sense for me at the moment.

Hmmm... I have been on myLot for almost a month now but I haven't even tried checking the 'No Responses' tab! In my opinion, maybe other people just couldn't relate to those discussions or maybe they're just not that interested about the main topic of the discussion.

Well there are a lot of reasons why the discussions does not have response. In some cases, the members online may find it hard to reply considering the topic is not fitting for them. Sometimes, the post are replace right away by other post considering that there are a thousand members of this community. So don't worry about this. This does not mean that the topic is not interesting. Perhaps it's just a matter of timing.

i usually respond to the no response tab. i want that i will always be the one to respond in their posts. but i only chose few. those posts that i can understand. there are posts that hard to comprehend there and you just don't know what are their points.

Hey, long time no see! Haha... well, I like to go to the no response section to post responses. It gives me a challenge! Plus, if no one else is responding, doesn't that pretty much guarretee a best response for you? Haha. Speaking of which, I need to go take care of that myself right now! Eeks! Thanks for reminding me!

I also have noticed that some of the discussions have not got a single reply. I think the major reason behind it is the breaking of rule. I never reply to a discussion that breaks the rule because then the discussion and all the replies will be deleted and I will not get anything. Another reason for not getting response is that very very poor english. I have encountered some of the discussions whose meaning is not understandable. So if other people will not understand the meaning then how they will reply. I think these are the two prime reasons.

What I notice is that most of these discussions are posted by new members here and think that they can make more money by posting a discussion. Frankly, I see that I don't have the ability to answer such questions: I don't like anywhere in US or India so I don't follow baseball or cricket there and a question about who do you think will win the game... is definitely something I cannot participate in and it also doesn't really require an answer...it's either team A or team B. It's not something that you can chat a lot about or have many different views or ideas! I do check them though, because sometimes there are genuine discussions and they should get an answer... at least for the effort. Oh and I don't like discussions with topics that are repeated all over.

Ya, as what you've mentioned i noticed some of the discussions are just merely statements and they're not asking any questions or giving any direction to the readers. How are we going to comment on those kind of topics? Besides, i believe another reason for no responses is due to the sentences or grammar mistakes in the discussion's description. Some of them are really hard to understand. As for me, i'll just skip those kind of topics and look for another one that i can understand. In my opinion, simple and easy to understand is one of the important factors when one wants to start a topic, and of course the topic has to be somehow meaningful and but childish type. I believe by having the two traits i mentioned above, there shouln't be any more topics that will have zero responses.

I often sift through the 'no response' tab for discussions. I like to contribute to those because I know how much I hate when no one responds to my discussions! Like you, I think that some of the discussions are hard to understand. The grammar is sometimes bad. Other times, it just doesnt make any sense! Some of the discussions are simply statements. They arent asking for any feedback. Sometimes, it even looks like the discussions are a copy and paste from somewhere. Without a direction or question, it is hard to provide a response! I think another big problem is lack of detail. I often see 1 line or 2 line discussions. From that it is really hard to get a feel for where the originator is going. If they are asking a question, it is often difficult to answer because there isnt enough detail! Occasionally, there are responses that I just dont know how to respond to! There are some topics that I dont know anything about. So I generally avoid those! I think one of the best ways to ensure you will get feedback is to ask for advice or ask a question. That way other users know how to respond. I also think that detail is important. But at the same time, if you discussion is too long, it will scare away people. You have to find a happy middle!

budy it might be coz people used to response to freindz's discussion..or may be it happens as most of the people(including me) used to look up for today's top section.. hope u got ur answer.. happy myloting

I agree with the reasons you stated. When a discussion does not make sense or is difficult to read, then it is very hard to respond to it. Although, I have seen many good topics in the no response tab area. Those topics usually do get a response and do not remain in that tab for long.

sometimes a discussion for us is a very exciting one but for others it is just plain and ordinary. so it will turn out to be a boring one for others than to be a very exciting discussion. i do have some discussion with no responces but got shock when i started about fruit pizza then i got a lot of responces. in my honest opinion i really dont know why some of my discussion does not have response. maybe it is just a bad timing

I have tried going through the no responses, but with most of them I can understand why they haven't got any responses. As you have said, many are impossible to understand, some don't actually require a response, and some are completely pointless.

Well I agree with you and to add on to your comments are that some of the post are just similar to other post and we fell lazy to type it all over again no doubt we get paid for replying here but it does not attract ones interest. Do you fell this is right? Thanusha
