Do you answer every single one of those comments?

September 7, 2009 2:45am CST
Here is my question that got me curious for most of your mylotters. So, if you posted a discussion on mylot, and you had a very interesting discussion for people to reply. Hypothetically, you have more than 40 of those responses for your newly discussion. Would you answer every single one of them? Because majority of those responses might tell you the same thing but in different word usages. Would you answer them with the similar language tone too? Sometimes, I just couldn't answer all 40 of them with the similar answer.

I will try to comment on all the responses. I have one discussion that got the 74 responses and i commented on all of them. Yes, it is sometimes tough to comment on all those with similar kind of answers. In this case i give similar kind of comments with different set of words to them to looks like a different comment.. You can see my discussion that i commented on all of them till now.. I dono about how i comment in future, but till now i commented.. Have a great day.

You are a fast learner here, dbutheking. If we are talking about earnings and fun that is how we should do here. We earn from our own activities. As long as our posts has quality and length, we will earn from there. And I believe you can reach your first payout sooner then some of us here. Keep the good work

I did learn that reply to your comments will help your earning there. The thing, if you want every single of your comment to be unique, that would be tough, and time consuming too. Still, we still want to earn money from mylot.

well... by now i havent commented back to my friends responses to my posts. but if i have the time iwould truly do. i always find everyone unique that is why i am always finding time on how to deal with each one of them. though sometimes i might lose or mental block would just get over me. but i try to go back to it soon. to appreciate my friends and fellow mylotters, thoughts, ideas, views and critcs or compliments on my posts. jhelai

You always did it. Even when you only barge in, you always come back to comment back on others comment. I don't think you ever face the writer block because you always have something to say. I wish I have such ability.

Hi clorissa, So far I have given all my comment to the responses that my discussion receive. I came here to earn some money and our discussion is our gold mine if we knew how to use it. Every single posts (response/comment/comment back) will earn us some penny as long as our posts have quality and length. I never receive such many responses in my discussion so far and the highest for me so far is 23. I also didn't start many discussion and most of my discussion is about football. So I actually never expected many responses from it. It is true that we will find it difficult to give a different comment to those who give the same answer from the previous responder. But this is how we can test our creativity. And since I am not a creative person, I prefer to respond to others discussion then started my own unless it is about football. I think I can give ten type of comments from a single response that I receive about football.

I think someone stalk on me But I love it. It is best to take sometime before we come to comment on our responses. It will give us a new ideas on how to tackle them smoothly. If we push ourselves to give a comment when we have nothing to say, our comment become so stag and no point at all. And usually we lost our chance to earn there.

Hi akuler, it's the old question here I'm afraid, at least once a month. I always answer every response and I don't think I usually repeat myself or sound bored but you'd be a better judge of that as you're always stalking me around

I try my very best to comment on everyone's comments! You're right though, it's no easy task sometimes. The only ones I do not comment back on are the ones that truly do not make sense - meaning they just wrote a bunch of nothing garble just to write something (isn't that a no-no on myLot? It's supposed to be a discussion, so I suppose most people appreciate feedback of some sort.

I have not posted a lot of discussions myself yet but still I would prefer to answer all of the comments on my discussion as I feel it shows them some respect as they took out their time to respond to our topic. It's similar to saying thanks to someone who gave their suggestions or helpful comments to your discussion. Also it seems to be a good move to earn more by responding more lol.

Exactly the right attitude, in that way you will also earn respect and receive more responses in the future too

Hi Clorissa, Yes, I do make an effort to comment on all the responses I receive on my discussions. I guess it's the only way to acknowledge and at the same time thank the members who took the time to read and respond to my topic. I know it's sometimes hard to come up with the same answer in a different manner but still I feel I owe it to them so I oblige.

hi clorissa, i always make it a point to acknowledge responses from my discussions. yes, it it tedious but i could not help it. they exerted effort to give time to my discussion so, it is just proper for me to reply back. it's kinda difficult to think of several strategies to say thank you and comments on their responses but i find it very challenging. but i can relate with what you feel, it's really hard saying and writing on the same messages with several persons... stay sweet and cool!

I think there is no need to do this,and some other mylotters may see the comments from you above.It's a hard work to do this,and boring,just like you say,most of the responses are the same meaning.I won't do this however. By the way,I have found that,some responses are quite interesting,and I have to answer back.So I will see all the responses. I also want to know how to post a hot discussion? beeduzhe

same here, I would rather answer some interesting comments instead of blindly to answer every single one of them. I just want to be in quality. Nonetheless, all of the advisors here talking about quality, didn't we?

Well it depends, if there were ones that essentially said the same thing i probably wouldn't answer twice unless there was something more to one of them. Sometimes even if it is an unique idea/question in the response i may not answer. I really only answer ones that really catch my interest. It's not about how many, or what they're about, it's about if i feel the need or have something I would like to share on top of it. I kind of wonder why forty people would answer in such a similar way where it wouldn't be worth it to respond to each one. I would assume that there would be at least one post unique from the others.

I'm trying to reply to most responses, I appreciate people making the effort to notice my discussions and its nice for them to be acknowledged, we all like to have our comments appreciated! Having said that I have only been here a week, I;m just making friends and getting the hang of it, so I don't get many comments on my discussions yet - so if I had to comment 40 times on 10 different ones every day I may have a different view! I guess if we comment when we see a couple ofposts we'll do our best to keep up!

i guess it is not necessary to answer all the comments. Its really up to you whether do you like to answer or not. It would really depend on you. And also your comment would not really matter. All would you do is to comment. And speak up...

Well the only way you'll earn any cents here is by commenting back on those responses you receive and on each and every one of them. Also if you get a reputation for not commenting back a lot of people would view that as bad manners and stop responding to your future discussions. You should really read the guidelines to find out how best to mylot well.

If you comment to all the responses you receive then you will find those users come back on your next discussisons too. You will also be earning for your comments so it is very worthwhile and what makes a question/answer become a discussion - which is what we earn for

I comment back to all the responses I get, as I know that if I don't, I won't get paid for the discussion. Even if they are pretty much the same, I will answer them the best I can and not answer the same thing to all of them, as that can be repetitive. I will have to say though, that when I have started discussons, I neer reall did have the same ideas in responses. It wouldn't matter if they were the same, as I would answer thm anway. It my right and privilege to do so, so I do it. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Yes, I try to answer them all. It's just a matter of being polite. People put up the effort of responding too a discussion, so the least you can do is reply too their respond.

Yes i answer every comments as they have different opinion on my discussions. But i don't comment to those who only commented with single sentence. Those who appear to be interested, those are the ones i am commenting on.

clorissa..Good to hear from you again..I hope you are having a good..I do..I had a discussion that had over 100 comments and I did comment on them all. Hey no wait....I didn't comment on them all. I had some that was just a word or two comment. I almost ran out of things to say back to most. I believe that it is the friendly way to make a comment to let the them know that you have read their comment.
