I don't respond to other's discussions that often. What I mostly do is starting my own discussions and commenting on the responses I got there. So my possibility and percentage of getting a "best response (BR) mark" is very low. But I manage to get 2 BR marks this day, and it is my highest. I'm happy with it. I think for us to get a BR mark, we should be comfortable with our response, we should have enough knowledge on the topic, our answers should be detailed, and it should help and answer the poster's query. He/she should be satisfied and learn from our responses. How about you, what is the most number of BR marks you have gotten in a single day? And what do you think is the reason why you have gotten that many?

Hi, there I'm not quite sure but I think I once got 2 BRs in a day some time ago. Lately I am getting more frequently like 1 yesterday and another one today. I like it when I'm given that and it shows that in a way you may have helped that person if that was the case, especially when I write a long reply or do some research that takes my time.
Listen I think it would be good for you if you start also replying to other's discussions, in that way you will also get more responses and a chance for more BRs. Some of your friends may like it that you reply to their discussions and as there are some who will not reply to yours if you never take part in their. Don't take me wrong, it's just a suggestion.
Happy mylotting!

Yes, it's a great feeling every time we received a BR mark. It means our response is special and the discussion starter appreciated it.
I also do respond to other's discussions just if you thought I don't. I have just received 3 BR marks yesterday. But what I'm saying is I'm more often starting my own discussions than responding to others. Because I believe that we should do more the things that we are comfortable with, and starting a discussion is what I am more comfortable to do. Actually I don't have a problem getting many responses, as I really often had. I have regular responders. In responding to other's discussions, you must first be interested to the topic before you respond to it. You should have something to share and you must have a knowledge about the topic so that your response would be fruitful. If not, you would end up with a less meaningful response. But thank you for your suggestion. That is your opinion, I respect it. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Ok I had thought that you don't reply to other people's discussions. sorry for the misunderstanding. Thought like that since I have seen some people here doing it. 2 days ago I saw a person posted a discussion every 2 minutes.

I joined here a week ago. But I got only two till now. Actually BR for me is the wish of the person who has benifited from the discussion he has started. And its a sort of thing to find it difficult from a large number of responses i think. Though I didn't get many respones like that. I was amazed when I was given the best response for two of my responses. I am glsd. Till now one for a day and two for a week. Ha ha Cheers,.. Have a great day

First of all, I can say that you have really fallen in love with myLot. Lol! It is because you are only a week long here, and yet you already have 230+ posts. Additional to that, you already managed to get 2 BR marks. Wow, you are on the right track. You are learning fast. I'm sure you will be a successful myLotter. Keep up the good work! Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

In contrast to you, i am more on responding and commenting than starting discussion. It seems that i have no topic to think of to discuss because i see that many discussion sometimes are the same or almost the same.
Sometimes in one day i got two and that is my highest in a day, in other days i haven't received any. I keep on responding and commenting and not really thinking of the best responses i may received.

That is really what most myLotters do, responding to other's discussions. You are one of them. Me, I just feel more comfortable in starting and commenting to the responses I will get. Yes, sometimes it happend that you will see new discussion similar to yours. Well it's really happening, it's normal. It's really rare to get a BR mark. Yesterday I got 3, and that is my highest. I'm happy with it. I'm also not expecting to get BR marks, it's just a bonus. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I am not after of best response that i may get why i keep commenting and responding. I do not have any idea what to write as my topic to post. Most of the time i tend to do some sorting of new discussion and just start to respond and comment if it is my topic of interest. Yes it is just a bonus that someone mark your response as the best.

You know, I am not sure since I have received so many of them, but I do think it was 3 or so. I am alwasy happy to get BR though, as it makes me happy to realize that my response matters, and it has made a differenc to the one that started the discussion. Giving BR is a good thing I think as the users realize that there response in some way haleped the user get their questions answered. I do tr to help anyone that I can and if I have an answer for them and I suppose that is why I have a lot of BR. I am happy for every0ne of them, as I never really expected to get anyone of them at all. I just wish we could give more than one BR, as I have had so many that have had several good responses. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

My highest in a day is also 3. I have received 3 BR marks yesterday, updated from the 2 that I have mentioned. Getting a BR mark always brings happiness to us. It is an achievement where not anyone can get. Yes if all in our heart is to help others, it can also be the reason for getting BR mark. Yes, there are a lot of good responders and more than one deserves a BR mark. I hope we can give more than one. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

For me, I enjoy reading your discussion although I did started 3 discussions but I'm not so good at it :P I think I'd better do what I think I'm good at rather than waisting other MyLotters time on reading my discussions which does not have or have no value to any one :) I might do more of starting discussion but for now, I'll do just responding to them.
Cong.s on getting 2 BR, may they become 200 :D
Thanks for sharing and happy MyLotting.

Yes, you should do the thing where you are more comfortable with. Most myLotters are really more comfortable on responding to other's discussions rather than to start their own. So don't feel bad if you fail to receive many responses. I will give you two advice how to get many responses. First, your discussion should be a general topic, where anyone can realate with it. Second is, you should add more friends. The more friends you have, the more viewers you will have, and it will result to many responses. Those are the two tips I can give you to get more responses. Hope you like it. Thank you for congratulating me, actually I just got my 3rd BR mark. So my record now for most number of BR marks in a single day is 3. Yehey! Lol! Oh, 200 is very impossible for me, since we all know that I am more of a starter. Lol! But thanks anyway. Have a nice day! Happy myLotting!

Well for me it is in the other way around, I usually responds to others discussion, and make some comments on others discussion, I seldom start my own discussions. I haven't got any best responses, until now I got my first best response just today and it is from phillip_shiny . And I want to thank him for that .

perhaps 1 or 2 BRs a day was the most i got since i don't get to actively participate in mylot discussions these days. during my active days back then, i probably got 10 BRs in a week. but then of course, between work and all, i could not stay active with mylot whenever i did travel. however, i did manage around 18 pages of BRs. sadly, the mylotter who gave me my first BR is no longer active, she was such a nice lady who gave me a BR in my 3rd day in mylot back then. hehehe such a nice feeling to reminisce.
congratulations, for getting 2 BRs that day... but i did read in your comments to others that you actually did get 3. :) pretty neat!!! and i noticed that you passed the 500 post mark. that's another mylot milestone. great!!! :)
as for your other question, i believe that the more we actively participate in discussions, the more we get immersed in providing quality posts. responses that shows relevance and quite helpful for the discussion starter is already a plus point for getting a BR. i always appreciate those times i get BRs, makes one motivated to do more quality posts next time. it's like an added bonus, when you are already enjoying the exchange of ideas and opinions, swapping stories in the discussions and they will top it all off with a BR... that's quite great in my book! hehehe
but kidding aside, everytime i do respond to a discussion is like sharing a part of me. so i guess, somehow some people liked that part of me... at least during the time that they needed an idea, an opinion or a learning from experience.
glad you're back! :)

oh no, not a BR expert. you make the 18 pages sound like a profession. hahaha a lot of people have a lot of BRs already, nothing new to that. hehehe
that was nice, 500th post coupled with a BR! wow! nice cherry topping! :)
it's nice to see you back in mylot. enjoy!!! :)

You must really be a BR expert. Lol! Having 18 pages of BRs is just amazing. You have mentioned that you are always sharing a part of you in every responses you make and I think people just love it. I know you have a lot to share.. Lol! Yes I got 3 BRs that day and that is my highest. And you know what, my 500th post got a BR and that made it sweeter. I reached the 500 mark milestone with a cherry on it, a BR mark. Lol! I was really happy that time. And an additional 2 BRs came that day. It is really a great feeling every time we received a BR mark. It can really motivates us and enjoy more our stay here in myLot. Yes I came back. MyLot is really a great place. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Thank you. Actually I got 3 BR marks on that day, there's 1 more I have received on that night after I posted this discussion. Yes it really does feel good every time we receive a BR mark. And if that discussion has a lot of responses, it's really an additional honor that your response is the one chosen among that many responses. Yes, what I said can really be an advice. Those are the things that will help us to get a BR mark. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I think I have only got one so far within a day, it is my best record I guess it is because I don't make as good responses as the other mylotters make so I don't receive as much best responses? I don't know, I try my best to post my discussions. I wish I could get more best responses, it is one of the motivations for me to keep posting as well :-)

When we received a best response mark, it really motivates us to post more, to post better, and to give our best on every posts. It is really difficult to get a best response mark, that's why every time we receive one, it's really an achievement and it really makes us happy. Let;s just continue posting quality responses. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Hello Mark. BRs are always a pleasant surprise for me. The most I have gotten in a day is three, and that was just one time. I don't really particularly try to earn them, but I do try to respond in a natural and complete way to a discussion. That come fairly easy, as I find the people on here and their discussions very interesting.
Congratulations on your two BRs in one day!

Yes, it is a pleasant surprise indeed. It is a gift and an achievement. Not anyone can get it and it don't come very often. Actually after I have posted this discussion, I have received another BR mark so that made my most number of BR marks in a single day to 3. Congratulations to you too for getting 3 BR marks in a single day. I hope we can get more. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

What I don't know one in awhile I get a BR. But by the reading I can see you get them quite often. That is great. Do you know if you get BR you get more pay or it really doesn't matter it is just a merit thing. If so that is good too because it's like a resume for you. Better you look probably more people want to be your friend and contribute to your discussions. How often do you get friend request markmoney!
You my number one guy to respond to.
God bless

First of all, I want to thank you and I really feel honored for saying that I am your number one guy to respond to. That is a big compliment to me.
Getting a BR mark is really not happening always, we are lucky every time we got a BR mark. Yesterday, I got 3 BR marks and it is my highest number of BR marks in a day. About your question if we are earning from getting a BR mark, I cannot answer that coz I also really don't know. What I know is, getting a BR mark will increase our rank in the "interest" where the response was under. For example, if we got a BR mark in a response under the interest "life", then our rank to that interest will become higher. That is what I know. You are asking me how often do I get a friend request, well, I seldom get a friend request. The reason is, I am the one sending a friend request. For all my responders, I send a friend request. Because I want to have more friends. It will also helps us to receive many responses if we have many friends because the more friends we have, the more possible that our discussions will be viewed, that will result to many responses. It's a tip actually. So keep on adding friends. The more the better. Thank you for your response. I appreciate it. Happy myLotting!

Hi, mark. Unlike you, i generally respond rather than starting new discussions.
When i was posting frequently, i was getting BR marks at an average of about 2 per day for the nearly 5 consecutive days, which included my highest of 4 BR in a day (3 consecutive in day and one late at night). But, now my classes have started and i am not posting frequently. that keeps it below 1 BR per day.
I love helping others and sharing knowledge. Most of those discussions involved the areas that i love like computers, life etc. I gave all that i knew on the topic. I think that`s what got me the BR mark.
Happy Mylotting!!

Wow, you must really be a good responder. You can easily get a BR mark when you post frequently. That is the advantage when you are responding to those topics that you are interested in, you can share your knowledge well. Keep it up and get more BRs. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Actually, I don't know why and when I get that BR.. Really! I feel lazy to open my email so I go to mylot directly.. Last night I open my inbox and see there are so many email from mylot.. Some of them say I get BR.. So, I realize this yesterday and come to my profile page and yes! There are about 4 BR there.. I read my response in discussion where I get BR and I forget I've already type that response Really,, I type some of them in a hurry but I try to give my best..hahaha.. There are one of them that short, only 4 or 5 lines.. So I don't know why my response get BR..but I'm happy and I think it's nice, just type responses and who knows there is one of them can be my BR.. Maybe they think it can help them or she/he feel there's similarity between I and her or I give different suggestion to him..
I didn't count how many BR that I get each day.. In one day I can get 2 BR or didn't get at all..

When you get a BR, you will see an email with a subject "Congratulations, you earned a myLot best response!". I first know that I got a BR mark in email. I really feel happy every time I get one. Maybe it's because you have posted so many responses to different discussions that's why there's a tendency that you already forgotten some of your responses. But I want to congratulate you for earning a best response mark. It's a great job. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

Yes, we can rarely get a BR since there are a lot of myLotters responding to discussions. Getting one is really a great achievement. It appears that you are a good responder because you manage to get 3 BR marks in one day. Keep it up. Post more quality responses. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

So far in a single day I got one BR mark. I try replying to many discussions and my main focus is to just talk about the discussion and maintain the quality. I have seen many members here replying in such a way which is totally irrelevant from the topic of discussion. The reason for me of getting only one BR as highest in a single day is I guess english is not my first language but I try my level best to reply in good english and without any spelling or grammatical mistake.

Yes, the quality of our responses is really important. We should not respond just to have a response or just to earn, we should give a response with the purpose of helping the discussion starter. We should give a detailed and honest response. Me too, not that good in English language, I don't have a wide vocabulary, but always did my best to explain well what I'm trying to say. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

I normally respond to discussions and so far I have only got one BR in a day. I have been a member for a few months and I think that I have two or three best responses. I try to post more than 5 comments in a day and there are day that I do post more than 5. I don’t know if that has anything to do with it or if it has to do with the quality of my comments.

BR mark is given to the most quality response. We can really get BR mark very rare since there are many other responders. It's good for you that you have already tasted to received a BR mark. It can really make us happy because that can be considered as an achievement. Keep posting quality responses and soon you will again receive a BR mark. Thank you for your response. Happy myLotting!

If you will continue on posting, you will get a chance to receive a best response (BR) mark. Make your post longer so that you will earn better. Welcome to myLot! Have a nice day!
