Is it hard for you to decide who should get best response?

Sometimes it's hard for me to choose who the best response should go to but after I narrow the choice down, I then choose between the responses that I have. Then it's usually a lot easier to choose the best response if I only have two or so to choose from. I don't think about it much I just choose because I know that I'll have to choose a response eventually.

Well in my case, I always go with my feelings about who has given the best response. It doesn't matter for me if they are long or short, as long as the response has strong arguements. And even if I do not know which one to choose as the best, then still, my last resolution is to pick the fastest, from those best responses.

Absolutely yes, when I start a discussion, I use to get many best responses, and some responses... when I get too many best responses, it will be very confusing for me to whom should I give the best response.. but still, I manage to give the award to one.. though it should be given to many...

there have been discussions that I have started and had many responses and when it came to doing the best response there have been instances that 3 or 4 responses that have given me hard times to choose which one are best. I have to get back to doing my best responses soon... I have been off mylot and the computer the last week-2 wks, my son started school this week and we have been school shopping, getting things ready... and only now I am finding a few minutes here and there to get on the computer!! I miss being on the computer!! Happy mylotting, and good luck choosing your best responses!! +++++++++++----00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 s

According to me, In a discussion when you find two or three very good responses, you can decide the BR based on three things. The first one is that which out of the 3 do you find interesting as well as informative. Second one is that you can decide upon the User. see who the user is & give preference to your friends or the person who know is nice among those 3. Now the last but not the least one is, even though not that recommended, but you can decide on first come first serve basis. Have a nice time

Glad you receive many good responses. Sometimes, when the thoughts and ideas are very much the same, you just have to choose how good the message was worded. The writing makes the difference. I wish I have as many responses to choose from, too. I think my discussions are not as exciting as yours.

Hi well, most of times its not hard to decide as whether to give BR , as most of times i start very limited discussion and i also get very limited responses, so its easy to select Best Response. In few cases i did have difficulties as i have more than than 2-3 best responses and it was hard to decide, at that time i got some biased and mark my friend as Best Response, LOL take care

Nope. The first response I come across that really gets what I've talked about and makes me laugh in the bargain, gets BR right away.

It is tough to pick a best response at times. I don’t usually enjoy choosing unless it is a really obvious one. I make myself do it every week because I would hate to have to a whole heap all in one go!

No!I don't have any hard times selecting a best response.Just I will see how much effort they spend to express their views.I don't mind one liners or just saying simple statements.The response will speak for itself to claim the best.Even if they are having contradictions with my views,if it is supported with good reasons,I give it to them.Cheers!

I have the same problem. And sometimes it happens on the best answers. In those cases I just leave it for a moment of inspiration and rate with a plus all the very good answers. But I know that does not solve the problem.. I hope you find the answer and pass it on. Happy posting!

Hi friend, Same thing also happens on me. In such condition, i always choose the BR per several criterias. firstly, the most unexpected response. Secondly, the most personal and different response. Thirdly, the appropriate response. The last but not the least, the most serious respons. After serious consideration on the above criteria, choose the BR. additionally, in life, it also not easy to make the best choice. In my opinion, find pertinent criteria and make good choice. Happy mylotting!

Well I just learned something new about myLot. I didn't know that I should/need my responses I guess I will do it from now on. I'm sure I will have the same problem as you citychic, trying to figure out who was the one giving me the best response. Plus when do you do that. Isn't there the possibility that another response comes in at a later time that may be better?

I go after the most elaborate response, on a first come first serve basis. I mean, it's rare anyway that I see two or three good answers in one topic that don't seem to mimic each other so closely that one feels just a rewrite of the last one in different words.

Honestly, yes it is very difficult for me to decide who should get the best response. Everyone has a different view, and everyone's view is just as important to me. I wish that I could give everyone a best response. Or maybe it would be nice to rule out best response and be able to rate each individual answer that people give. In other words, not rate the person in general, but instead be able to rate what they said on that given discussion.
