To response or not

Better respond to that.Because I was once like that just getting responses for my post and don't comment back.But I give out best responses that means I read all the responses.Later I was enlightened here that we have to comment back to make a post interesting and we can earn for that too.So,it doesn't mean he/she didn't read your response at all.May be the awareness has not yet reached.Cheers!

I usually concern myself more about the topic than who the thread-starter is. Firstly the topic must arouse my interest. For those that do, I would be prepared to offer a response if I feel I have something of value to offer by way of a response. In such a case, I will respond even if I am aware the thread-starter may not reply to my post. There are other people who browse the discussions, so my response is also meant for them to see. In that case, whether I get a reply is not so important to me. Of course, if the discussion was started by someone I know well, I'd be waiting in anticipation of getting a reply from him/her.

Normally I don't check profiles when I response. I will just response to their discussions especially if they have been to my discussions before. I will remember well those who have responded to my discussions and would reciprocate their kind deeds anytime I bump onto their discussions, if they are not on my friends list. And the funny thing is since I response to many discussions here I can't remember who have not commented on my responses. I wish that people be good enough to acknowledge those who responded to them by giving out their comments. It will give a good impression on the poster and people will not hesitate to come to response to their discussions in future. By commenting it kind of create a goodwill between the poster and the respondent. I try my utmost best to give my comments though sometimes it is a bit late due to the volume of responses that I get. But I will.

Hi Akuler, I noticed that last week when I saw interesting discussions by the same user and replied to them, about 3 or more of his. Then after some time I went back to check and noted that he did not post a single comment to the replies given by others. When I went to his profile I saw that he was creating a lot of discussions and seems he was focusing on that as he made very few responses on other people's discussions. After that I did not comment any more on his discussions. It seems to me that he would not even note the reply. Maybe he thought that by creating discussions he would earn a lot, but it is not like that. Also his star rating will not be high as I rate all people who reply to my discussion and also to the ones I reply that are of interest. I don't think like this he will be rated so he is losing on that. Have a nice day!

Hello akuler, I will still go ahead to response to the discussion topic if the topic really interest me. Cos, every response I make will add up to my earning. Of cos, I would hope for a return comment as it would make the discussion more interesting. And I guess it is politeness that we should try our best to comment on responses. Cheers =))

Hi akuler, Never give any comments on the response. That's really not good. I can utterly understand the meaning of your topic. I also consider it is very reasonable not to give your response on the guy dicussion, as he/she does not care about the responses at all/ Maybe making money is his only aim. As to me, i maybe response the discussion if it is very interesting to me. Happy mylotting!

Sometimes if I notice that people don't respond to the responses in their own discussions, I just kind of skip it. But, a lot of times, I don't even pay attention to what other people have typed in the responses let alone whether or not the person replied to them. I guess, I just submit my response if the subject or discussion sounds interesting. Although, I do try to respond to everyone in the discussions that I start. It seems like there is something about that in the guidelines. However it has been a long time since I have read them, so I am not quite sure enough to have anyone quote me on that. :) By the way, thanks for all of your responses in my discussions and have a great day!

I will reply to him, even if he did not respond to other peolpe too ,because to answer other people's problem is a happy, is not it .When you answer someone else's problem is that you will feel very happy to help others is a happy thing.

When i find a discussion that i feel that i can add something to, I always respond to it. If i worried about weather or not my commit was going to committed on i would never be able to answer anything, because the time it takes to check up on it would be way to much of a waist of time for me. Life has to much stress as it is, why add to it by worrying about a commit, or no commit.

I would still respond. Even if people dont comment back, they probably still read them. Which could still be helpful to the person! I agree though, that is terrible to not even respond to one! I genereally try to respond to as many as I can! And if i respond to a discussion that really interests me i check that discussion to see if that person has responded to my comment yet!

I was thinking of starting a discussion a moment ago. So, when I searched for the discussion topic in the search box to avoid any duplicate, I ended up on the same topic I had in mind, which was created three years ago. Since I was really interested to raise the issue, I just responded to the discussion. I hope it will become active again. If this person did not comment back, I hope other users will because it will benefit others.

That is just odd. I wait expectantly for people to respond to my discussions so that i can get back to them, thank them for their ideas and discuss any new and interesting ideas they have brought to the table. I respond to just about everyone who responds to my discussions, as i want them to know that i have read and appreciate their opinions. Occasionaly, such as when a person only gives a one line response such as "yes i agree" or if the persons response has absolutly NOTHING to do with the topic, i will skip over responding back...

Its up to a person if s/he respond to the comment, maybe s/he just reading the comments... well its Ok if s/he will not respons to the comment, if yes much better...

If I start a discussion I try to answer to all the interesting responses since I know they put time and effort into it. And I usually give them a plus too!

Hi akuler you have made a really compelling question. I feel it is simply impossible to fail to post and continue the discussion.Either the person is having few time or the individual is here only to earn.however the first assumption is wrong as he has posted more than a 1000 posts. In this kind of situation I will only respond if he has a really compelling discussion of my interest.Do you think its ok ? Its my personal view.And I don't disagree others. What you will do ?

Morning Akuler, you are even more fussy than me. Well if I see a topic from someone I don't know I don't check the profile but if interested will respond. On the other hand if it is a friend request then I will check if they comment or not and if they don't I don't accept for the very reasons you give. That means newbies hang pending until they've got the hang of things and I can see if they bother to comment or not. Personally if I respond and am ignored I'm more likely to remember the person and avoid responding to them again if I do get a 'thank you' and nothing else in return.

I am actually fond of commenting on the responses. Commenting would indicate that you are really interested on the response of the person. I's like you are attentively listening to what they have to say. It's like respect for my part.

As long as the topic interesting for me, I will respond because it can add mu earning, it's not my business he reads mine or not.. I think, if he didn't make any comment of the response, it doesn't mean he didn't read it. I do it too in the first time when I don't know much about it but I read all the response and happy with it.. Maybe he's too busy and at the time when he come back3 days after, he doesn't want disturb his responders for giving comment on 3 days ago response.. Just think about anything positive and write your response.. you get your earning whether this guy comment on yours or not

akuler, If you find a nice topic to discuss, why don't you just go ahead and respond? Does the writer's background mean anything to you other than whether he or she is writing here? Take my advice, just go about doing things you enjoy doing without bothering to know whether you get a response or not.
