Comment on comment

I think you answered your own question when you said 'sometimes I just don't know what to say again.' If you have nothing to say, don't say it! This may sound obvious, but think about it. As MysDianait rightly pointed out, quality is what matters on Mylot, and to make a quality comment, you need something to go on. Perhaps something a respondent said triggered a thought, or you remembered a point you hadn't made originally which applies to what has been said. In that case, you have the makings of a comment on a comment! It's good to extend the discussion, but only if you have something to add to it. Hope my thoughts help - this is a good topic, as it will clear points up for a few people.

Hi there! I'm a chatterbox so I usually find something to say over and over again I can usually 'feel' from the way the response is written whether the responder will com back and comment again too and I also have many friends who I now know will do just that so Ileave a comment with something they can add on to. Many of us are aware that the more comments we leave and the longer the thread in the response becomes then the more we are earning because that is exactly what myLot tell us. They say: 'Post quality content. For example, generate discussions that engage other users and provide insightful responses and comments to other users discussions to further the topic' That's why I ramble on here too and not only offline

Hi Akuler, if you make sure you start a discussion that is actually of interest to you then you will appreciate the responses and should have something to comment back on. If you are struggling to comment back maybe the subject you started didn't really interest you in the first place. Now the other day I posted a question relating only to how something actually workd on mylot hoping for an answer which would make using mylot easier. Within in a few responses I had the answer I needed. But the responses kept coming, and coming. I struggled to then comment back and resorted to saying that the question had ALREADY been answered in the responses above. Now this was a technical question and people had obviously thought out ways to help me but it had already been answered, I kept saying it. I awared best response to try to stop it, it made no difference. I believe it is the height of rudeness to not comment back but I struggled on. Motto being, don't start a topic which has an easy answer and don't post a topic unless you are likely to have enough intereset in the subject to keep it going!

For me, i just coming back to user who comment to my responses!. If they comment again, i will reply again and again until 3 or 4 conversation. That is usually i do. I will write any about discussion to make their discussion alive and we both can earn some money. That is all we hope, right?

akuler, I will not just comment on the responses, but I will also rate them in order to ensure that it is a good practise. I believe when you start rating the discussions, you will have increase the person rating, it will also ensure that I read them though :) Happy MyLotting

I really don't obligate myself to comment back on the responses, but every time a comment catches my attention or i feel like i have something to say about it, that's the time that I comment back. :)

Well, I dont always comment back because there isnt always a need too. Like you said, sometimes there just isnt anything to say! It all depends I try to treat these as if they were real face to face discussions.And when people have them we dont always feel the need to say something back, right?

Hi akuler, Well sometimes when I find the conversation very ineteresting I make sure that I get to comment back on the comment that other mylotters gave me..Like what you said in that way the conversation will be more interactive and interesting..and it's somehow making me happy because I get to interact with others by sharing ideas..:)

Yes,you are right,many people made a comment,of course,want a good return,this will help solve the problem

Hi akuler, Mostly, i try to comment back, as in the way the poster and me can have a good and deep discussion on the topic. That will make the discussion more intersting. But many poster did not comment back. So in overall condition, this chance is very slow. Additionally, my response to the others posts received very litter back-comments, except your back-comments. I think maybe my comments is not good enough to attract them comment back. Some grammer mistakes may aslo take some contribution. But i am trying to make some improvement on them. Can you do me a favor? If you find some grammer mistakes on my posts or responses, may you give your correction, when you available. If you not do this, it's ok. Don't be mind. I will appreciate you, no matter you give some advice or not. Happy mylotting! My friend!

Helo Akuler.I do comment back often, and I think one should comment back to improve the topic of discusion.When I don't understand what to write or comment back,I just thank the responder for the response.I think that will do.Once,on a discussion ,I got so many responses,that I did not reply to all.I just,did send them a friend request.Have a great day.

I feel about like chatterbox does. I always try to comment on the ones that I open up. I am guilty of If the title doesn't strike me or stick out then I usually don't open to read or comment. Although I have been going to the "no response" section trying to read and comment on the oldest discussions. I feel by me doing this it will give that person a chance to continue on here at mylot.

I think one should comment back if the comment would have substance and add to the discussion. Otherwise, it is superfluous - just hot air, so to speak - and probably won't be worth much money, anyway. Sometimes, when I read a comment left by the one who initiated the discussion, I think: "Okay, that's a good point," or "Thanks for responding," or "I agree with that." However, if I don't have anything substantial to add to my original thought I won't publish another response. This isn't like my online classes where I had to count the number of posts I responded to in order to meet the minimum requirement for the week. Also, if I'm not in the mood to get into a heated debate I don't respond back. Instead, I think, "Okay, I said my piece and you said yours. We're not going to convince each other, so why bother trying." Maybe I just haven't found a discussion worth getting into such a debate. LOL. There are some comments where I'd like to respond back with more personal examples or questions, but I feel those belong in private responses to the person, not in the public discussion.
