I found many people in mylot who just submit discussion. After posting discussion they dont care about who is responding and how is responding because they are not leaving comment. I spend my much time to read those comments but now i am fadeup with this. Some people here are only to earn not for other purpose. Should i stop responding them who really doesnt care about my response?

i truly understand about your feeling in this situation. what i did was to think in these ways:- 1) they are new & do not realize that they needed to reply our comments in order to earn from their discussion 2) they have read our responses but don't have the idea on how to reply 3) they are busy now but will reply later after a few months (LOL!) don't worry, we just do our part by responding. if you stop responding, you stop earning too. it's the same way too, they don't reply, they don't earn. cheers!

Hi Victory, You are positive thinker, how can you be so positive? what is the reason behind your positiveness? Just a general question because i cant be much positive.

hi ranviruchauhan! actually there's no special reason for me to be positive. i came here to find new friends & to learn new things as well as earn some money. i just wanted to be happy posting & replying here. if i think too much of the negative things, i will lose my mood. then, i lose everything to gain here. cheers!:)

I usually respond to people who comment on their discussions. If I read a discussion and see that the person who started the discussion hasn't added a comment on their discussion I wont comment on it. It shows that that person is not really interested in the topic they started and just want the money. But you should only respond to topics that interest you and not worry about what other posters are doing...

That maybe true that they are not interested in their discussion that they only want to post then don't care about it. They are just counting of their post and then nothing. I still drop on the discussion that another have started and if i notice that they don't respond back to my comment or response, assuming that their discussion is my interest or i have a knowledge to answer or i found it good to answer or respond.

Just because they aren't responding doesn't mean they aren't reading! Sometimes when I start discussions, I don't necessarily have time to respond to every single discussion I get... but I do read and rate every single response!

Give the benefit of the doubt to the posters. They may have other reasons for not commenting back. If they purposely do not want to make any comment, then it is their loss, not ours. Even I myself did not comment on all the responses that I received, simply because I am not sure what to write. So far I have been responding to discussions which I did not expect to get any comment. Several members never commented on my responses, even though they commented on the others. This did not stop me from occasionally responding to their discussions. They have the rights to do so.

If the person does not comment to a single responde,then most probably the person has self-interest in mind, more concerned with ratings and earnings. I would look for other discussions to respond to. If the person does comment other members responses, then it may be my fault. It will not stop me from responding to this person's future discussions.

if a person have not given single comment to their respond then what thoughts would be in your mind? I spend some time to respond not only for money but for closeness with that topic or with mylotters. I also spend time to check comments from lotters.

NO - you should keep on doing what you're doing and don't expect much from anyone. That way, you're not disappointed. Honestly though - I don't respond to all comments that were on any of my discussions when I have nothing else to say about the matter (other than "thank you"). Because mylot forbids us from just saying "thank you" - you have to keep the discussion going. So I make a discussion, and if I get a comment that will stimulate my mind and provoke me to respond back, I respond back. Like I said - just keep on doing what you're doing and you'll be fine. Don't worry too much about what everyone else is doing. It's almost as if you're giving advise to your friends even though you know they don't listen to you anyway. You think it's a waste of time when you give advise to friends and know that they're not gonna listen to you? Would you keep it from them if you know you have something really good to say?

Hi, I've noticed this too, they will post a discussion and drive to the airport to catch a flight it seems. I find myself not responding to them as much, especially when I never hear a peep, but I would make an exception if the discussion had a really great topic. Thanks for this question.

I always comment to the responses of the discussions I have started. I think it is only right. I feel that if someone is going to respond, then I feel that I shold at least give them the courtesy of commenting to their post. It is only fair, and those that don't they are just being lazy,unless they are waiting for it to die down then comment. I will comment when I get the email. I do it immediately. At least it lets the people know that I care enough to comment to what they posted. Well, good luck to you and happy mylotting.
