When responding to a discussion... do you usually expect the user's response?

Not really. I give benefit of doubt to the user.

But do you get disappointed when you don't receive a respond from the discussions you've responded?

And I bet it's secretly appreciated by rating you positive.. Although they may seem not to respond, I'm sure users are responsible enough to rate their responders positive just to be polite you know.. Anyway, thanks for the response and take care

Thanks for your comment friend.. Happy mylotting

I agree. Aside that it makes the discussion livelier and it adds up to the earnings, it only shows you care enough to respond to their comments. Thanks for responding take care

OK then response appreciated and rated positive thanks

Well, I rarely check my email for notifications because I am always online in here so I just look at my profile to see if someone had responded on my discussions. I try to post a comment back even it is late, it is better rather than to ignore the response.

Well, yeah, you just have to look at discussions that you have started to see if someone new had posted something in your discussions, how about those discussions that you participated in? Most often, other members have posted their own opinions in the discussion but, that doesn't mean that the one who started the discussion has replied to our post, or anyone for that matter. Anyway, I too would always like to reply to those who have participated in my discussions but, if such posts in my discussions turns to be similar to each other, I seem to just paraphrase my previous replies for those new ones but basically have the same content (^_^")

Haha well if I encountered another same response, I think it's not bad just say "Thank you for the response" and I usually add "take care" to make it more nice. And if I think this person believes in God, I usually say "God bless"

Haha okay but I think it would be polite if the discussion starter would respond back, right? Hehe thanks for the response

Nice one! Well, I just let the response as it is, it is hard to convince a person so I just post my views about the response.

And what if you think you have the best response among all other responders?

Mylotting by schedule.. That sounds a good idea.. Do you always reach your minimum payout with that strategy??

Oh yes! At first I took this discussion in the different meaning. I read this again and again to understand what you actually are talking about... I may respond to about 5-7 discussions at a time in mylot continuously. I may be writing good responses, but when I finish it, I forget whatever I have return unless I get the comment from the users. It is always interesting to have the nice comment. Most of the time, I surely expect the user to respond back, because without it, I think the response I have given is useless. So, if I wrote about 5-7 response in the night then in the morning, the first thing I do is open the computer and check out the mails, that includes getting the comments from the users... And yes, when I give some special response, I am surely eager to wait for the comment for that response... At least, i comment of each and every response for the discussion I have started as fast as possible. If no words to tell, at least a thanks, that can make the responder happy too...

But do you also expect the user to respond to the discussions you have responded?

If a question is asked, (like you did here :) or a thank your, then I respond to that, too. Karen

Oh you sure have a lot of thoughts in your mind to make the discussion livelier.. Are you an inquisitive person?

Yeah, because I want to keep the discussion active. I sometimes do that thing especially when the discussion starter don't seem to post a comment to the responses he/she had received. It looks like that I had taken the part of the discussion starter and I read the other responses and post comments in it, just what I have done last midnight. The discussion starter seem to be inactive at that time so I just do it because we can also earn by posting comments.

Well that's another good way to earn instead of just finding discussions to respond to

Usually when it doesn't permit long discussion, like you I also would rather not reply. Sometimes however I make sure that I reply to my responders however the least I can do is to rate them positive and at least read their comments just to show respect to their effort of commenting on your discussion.

Well, I also try to do that thing. I post comments on the responses that I have received. I sometimes post comments on other responses when the discussion starter was busy and we can also earn from posting comments.

Haha ok well then thanks for the response and take care

I've seen your rating is getting higher.. I hope my ratings to your posts would help your reputation go up..

Well in that case I don't reply to bad comments.. I don't want to give negative unless they are really abusive..

Have you ever received a bad comment? If it is, just ignore it. Well, I haven't received a bad comment because I always try to give quality posts which is related to the topic. Maybe because you posted on discussions involving politics and religion, right? All of us here have different beliefs and opinions so you might receive a bad comment if some do not agree with you and also, you might get negative ratings by posting on the two that I had mentioned.

Ouch.. I'm guilty of not responding to some of my responders hehe. But I make sure I rate all of them and read their posts thanks and take care

Besides they must be also busy responding to other's discussions so we should just understand them. Either way we all earn here thanks for the response and take care friend.

Same here.. I don't expect, but I do like to receive a response hehe. Thanks for the response friend take care and happy mylotting

Thanks maezee

And sometimes it feels good of the user cared enough to answer your responses right, thanks and take care

I think it's not really an obligation.. I mean what if the comment doesn't permit a response? Maybe the best thing to do is to just rate all your responders positive and at least read their comments.
