I've just done something I've been wanting to do for ages on Mylot.

I've wanted to but I've never had the nerve! I can see not responding to every single response since once in a while you get one that all you can do is go "huh?", but to not respond to any of them? Good way to get people not to visit your discussions! Did the reply?

If their new I let them know they should. Most people on here to make cash. The name of the game is write and write some more! As you know. They will be the first one to complain that they don't make any money here. I just poitnted this out to a newbie today and he was very grateful. So yes I let them know! They won't be here long if they don't tdemex

Hi there! I have also had somewhat similar experience. I added someone as my friend, her discussions were quite interesting, I kept responding to her discussions, however, I found out later that you won't comment on my responses, though other responses were commented upon. I then stopped posting my responses to her posts because I try to submit my response with due sincerity and if someone ignores the same and doesn't acknowledge, I stop responding to his/her posts. I love to post my responses to those friends/mylotters who never fail to post their comments on my responses.

I think that people who don’t take the time to respond to the comments left on their discussions just simply don’t realize it makes their myLot time much more enjoyable and more beneficial as it appears you get paid more for taking care of the discussions you start. At least that is my observation from my first experience on myLot. I started many conversations in one day and made less money then when I started only a couple of conversations another day and responded to the comments. I felt I learnt my lesson of trying to take the easy way and more importantly I learnt a lot about myLot. Another thing; after reading through the discussion it has been said that many people get offended by what is said or isn’t said in their discussions. Why be offended at all. Unless someone makes a personal attack on your character it really is a waste of energy to be offended. MyLot is about views and opinions how we can be offended by someone else’s ideas. Respect it and enjoy it and hopefully we will learn from each other.

I usually just delete anyone when they act like that. Too many nice people to respond to w/out someone like that.

Hi thea, I have one on my friends list that only comment on senior (base on total post) first or maybe they are his/her best friends here. But he/she will come back later to comment mine. At first I am bit annoyed but later I am ok with it. I will not ask this kind of question because we have our right here. If he choose not to comment our response then we have a right ignore his discussion and OFF the notifier. Or at the extreme level, we can delete him fro our friends list. The choice is us to make. Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

I think its because that person assumed that he/she will only earn from posting discussions and responding to other people's discussions but not when he/she comments to those who responded to their discussions. I used to do that too. I wanted to make it to pay out as soon as possible so I was thinking that I don't want to be wasting time reading and making comments to other people's responds to my discussions. silly right? i know anyways, I learned my lesson and soon realized that its a called a discussion because I was expected to comment. Some claim that you can earn a few more cents that way, though some don't. I don't know which is true but I have decided to comment back to those who took the effort to read and respond to my discussions

I try to respond but more oftern than I like, I don't have time or just don't really have anything else to say on the subject. I'm not one of those who thinks that just saying thanks for responding means much.

hi thea gee I hope this he wasnt really a she nAmelyme'as I s tarted way too many discussions when I first came back to mylot and I could not really get around quickly to commnent on all of them but have been working on them most of the day today,its hard tooas my left shoulder is really bothering me making it hAd to type as it keeps cramp;ing. I'havent been tempted to as a mylotter why he or she didnt comment as I know sometimes things happen making it hard to get bAck to doing your discussions.It isnt a matter of not being bothered its a matter of time,life and health issues for me.

I thought I can handle that kind of situation once. There was this user who post a lot of discussions. I responded to some of his for quite some times. But since we got friends, I never saw him in mine. So when I responded to his discussion for the last time, and he commented, I commented back by telling him that I never saw him responding to any of others discussions, though I saw his activity that he did to some. I also told him that he may lose responders in time if he will not support others, and just wait for your discussions be responded, as this site is also a give and take, two-way system. He said he has is own way of making money here, by creating more discussions. Since then, I turned off notify to him and never bother to see him again.

I respond to any discussion I find interesting. Whether or not the OP responds doesn't bother me, unless I've asked a specific question that I'd like an answer to. Is this person you're talking about new here? Maybe he/she doesn't realize that they should respond to all comments in order to make more money. Maybe they need to be told this in a PM. I try to respond to all comments but my energy level is pretty low these days and I don't have the time or energy to respond to every comment, although I do try when I have the time to go back and respond. I've noticed that some newer members think that the comments they receive to their discussions is what makes them money, even when they don't respond, but it doesn't. Responding back to the comments is where the money is. Maybe they just need to be told that. It does sound like they're only here for the money if they don't respond to any comments. They probably just post discussions then forget about them and move on to posting the next discussion, then the next, and so on. If that's the case, you may never get an answer to your question about them not responding since they don't check back.

Hi thea! I so agree with you! And there are more than just one or two he and her that start lots of discussions and just about never bother responding! I have quite a few of them on my friends list! I respond to their discussions and they never bother responding to mine! I no longer bother responding to theirs either! I think it is just plain rude to start discussions and not ever bother going back to them! Then why bother starting them in the first place! If it's just about the money mylot admin isn't stupid and they will certainly find that out!

I always post a comment to all responses, as it is only being respectful, not to mention that it the only way I am going to get paid for my discussion. I have responded to a lot of discussions, that didn't have cmments by the one that strted the disucssion. I don't know fi it we a oversight on their part, or if they just decided to quit and not come back. I saw today, that one person had started several discussions in a row, and I didn't respondd to them as they were't interesting and I don't think they were of a very good quality wither. I don't thing they should be allowed to keep posting discussions, knowing full well, they aren't got post comments to them. Like, I said it is just common coutesy to post comments back and lets them know that I did see their response and was posting a comment to it. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Hello Thea09, I have noticed that a lot of the mylotters don't bother to respond to there discussions. You must have fell upon one of them. I myself try to respond to all of my messages and replies. Cheers! Thok

Hi Dear well, if it would be me, i would not be asking this question, but might stop replying his/her new post. Though i am not one who start new discussions often, but its always feel great if some one response to ur comments, u feel and u get reply and it make the circle complete. And trust me i love to stretch the thread at max Take care

Hi thea09. I, like your friend, also don't respond to my posts. When I post a discussion, I just hope it interests people and then I'm off to finding discussions that interests me. When I stumble onto a discussion that I've responded to and the user comments back, I am happy but that's not how I like to do it.

I hope it's not me thea cause I remember response into your discussion:) For me personally, I usually response my discussion later on the day at night. When I am at the office I tend to post response to other people discussion. Or I even comment the post a week later, this happened usually if there are many reponse to my discussion.

thea,as you might have noticed by now, one of my hobbies is annoying people/ if someone tried that wee trick st work i'd be furious

Hi thea09 Maybe that person is newbie here and he doesn't know that he can earn from commenting.. I do that in my first day in mylot (posting discussion, comment on one of them then go away to response others to increase my posts number). But, doesn't he realize, there are some discussion about commenting on a response? doesn't he ever read about that? Maybe if he's newbie here (I'm newbie too, I mean if his posts still below 5 or so) you can send pm to him and give information, that giving comment is sort of courtesy and of course, a way to discuss. He start the discussion and not just ask a question. That's quiet rude for me, never comment on any of the response he got.. Are you sure there isn't any comment from him? Personally, it doesn't bother me I get my earning in type response, whether it gets comment or not, and I focusing myself in make responses, so I usually forget about what discussion I've responded, except if the starter comment back (so I get notification in my inbox and can comment back).. Just pm him and if he ignore you then ignore him. If his topic interesting, type response, it's not your business he make comment on yours or not. That's my opinion..

uh..is there a chance that person might be me? because i now some how you did respond to some of my topics, but i didn't ignore you, NO way! but if i didn't commented on you that time am gonna say now am truly, i guess we were all busy with others discussion and comments. can you imagine those responses that i had to comment. am sorry too if i flooded your email..i just want to say something before i could forget about it..Peace be with you.
