How long do you usually wait before giving out a best response?

Hi I usually wait till there is no more incoming responses to my discussion, sometimes it takes a few days and some times more than that.... and sometimes i forget!... well you can always go to your oldest unresolved discussions and start giving them best responses happy mylotting to you too!

It depends on the discussion. If I have asked about the download link of some software and if I have reevced the the response with the exact link, then I will make the response as best one and I will not wait for the further, as my issue is already resolved with the help of his. If we are asking for some suggestion, then we may need to wait for about a month or less. But I will not mark the best responses immediately to such discussions.Still I am having more than 200 discussions with our marking the best one for more than 5-6 months.Slowly I am marking them, few discussions in a day.

For me it really depends on the Topic I started, If I asked a simple question and it get's an answer that suits me in the first few responses I go ahead and give a BR. But if it's a ongoing discussion about something, I usually wait no longer then 5 days total, or 3 days after last response. I personally hate when people don't give a BR when obviously the discussion has ended or the question has been addressed, so I like to encourage others to do so, by doing it myself in a reasonable time. I would say a week is a bit to long unless the discussion is still going, but rarely that happens.

I tend to wait a week before I consider if any response warrant a best repsonse. By doing this it allows more people time to respond before you make the decision and as some people do not make it on here every day it only seems fair to give them the time. Quite often I will have discussions older than a week without a best response becuase I still feel that those given really are the best.

Hi Citychic, I am guilty of not giving out many best responses simply because I am not sure. I find it very difficult to select any one response because there are generally many good responses all deserving best response nomination. I have hardly been doing so now since a long time. I feel it is not fair to other members who have given equally good responses - all the best and happy mylotting

I don't think a week is too long, myself. That's probably what I'm going to start doing. That will give everybody time to respond to it who's going to respond to it. Kathy.

Well, the discussions are always open no matter if the best response is given or not. Some people wait just a few hours, which I find weird. I get so many e-mail notifications that often times it takes me a couple of days to get caught up. And by that time a lot of people have given the best response. I still answer their discussion though if I can contribute to it. I reward a best response two weeks after I first post it. It gives people time to catch up, and also it allows you to get more responses to choose from.

i was told once when i started that you should wait at least a couple of weeks but for me, it just depends when i get to it. it may take a few months before i reward a best response.

I won't mark the best response in a short time because I think it is not fair. Usually I will wait for about a week and then decide which is the best response. As I think I already give enough time for people to respond to my discussion. It is time for me to choose the best response. I love China

I do not wait for any particular period of time to give out a best response. Sometimes when I have nothing to do on the net I just check my unresolved discussions and mark the BR for some of them.

I always wait 1 day!

Dear friend I am a month old new member to my lot. frankly speaking first i didn,t know what was best response then i figured out and now whenever i have more than 8-10 responses i start giving best response. what according to u is the best way to give best response. please suggest. Thanx

Based on what I see, after BR awarded then the number of response in that discussion decreasing or don't get any response anymore. That's why I wait until 1 or 2 months before choose BR. Honestly, I don't mind write response in a discussion that started 5 days or 2 month ago. I ever find it when I searched in one interest and if it looks interesting, I will post response.. But if I see BR already awarded, I don't know why but it makes my will to respond down, because I think this person already get the answer he/she want..except if that topic really interesting for me.. Happy myloting too
