Learning about mylot!

You're so right about that. It is so much fun engaging with people.

I will do like that!Thanks!

You know Marg, it has never been about the earnings w/me, I answer every response i get, To me that is just common courtesy if someone is nice enough to respond to my discussion. Have a happy day.

I don't start many discussions, but I respond to lots of them. If I get a reply to a response, then I answer again. That's what starts a discussion, right? It's always amazed me that some people start excellent discussions, but almost never reply to responses. To me if that's the 'norm' for that person, it shows a tremendous lack of appreciation to those who took the time to answer in the first place.

I think that's what my friends called barging in the response or comments. some one popularize the term but the oldies of mylot knew about it all along. i kept commenting mostly on those people who respond to my discussions. it's fun knowing that they add more ideas to their response.

Well before I did check back on the responses I received from my posts, but I only answered the ones I really felt needed a response. When I found out that those comments really went towards your participation I made a larger effort to respond to more of them. Commenting on your responses also help keep the discussion going and make them more interesting, so I'm glad I made that effort. Of course every once in awhile there will be one that you can't quite think of an appropriate response to, so I usually just comeback to them later or just choose not to respond. Yes sometimes I do have some trouble thinking of a reply to a response, but I always at least give it a read to be fair. I'm pretty new still and I found the community to be very active and willing to disclose so much useful tips and information.

Hi my friend. I have been a member of My Lot for three years. When I was a newbie I read the My Lot rules. It said not to say "Thanks for your response" to every member that responded to the discussion. I read every comment and just add a comment when I wish to do so. I like humor and I have learned many new things on My Lot. One of the things I must like about My Lot is the international atmosphere. Hug.

Marguicha your topic is so inspiring! Many times some of us respond to new users explaining hw things are done. We seem to say the same things over and over again and are never sure whether the advice we are giving is really being understood. When another Lotter then comes along, like you did here, and points out that they read something and found it useful to themselves too then it makes it all so worthwhile! The more we comment then the more a simple topic will turn into a discussion. The more fun we can have and the more we will see our earnings increase, both in friends and cents! Happy to see that it helped you too!

hi marguicha yes I do as its much fun to see what people have to say about your discussion and I have learned so' much from all of you from different countries,its so 'great 'to meet people of all ages and races. I love itwhen I get a whole bunchof comments from one other people so that I have a lot of friends'involved in it like a meeting between friends.it is a'l lot of fun.Yes I foundout that my comments would earnme more money so I make an effort to comment on all responses.

I usually do respond when someone responds to me unless all they say is that they agree or some such. I often find that the ones who really answer the question I ask or take an interest in the topic have something important to say and I have incentive to respond. I am not going to just say thanks for the response and nothing else. I would feel uncomfortable with that. My responses have to say something for me to feel comfortable even making them. I do look at all responses though. I don't look for a massive number of responses the few times that I do post a discussion. Have a great day!!!

Hi there, well before i dont mind answering or giving comment back in my discussion but i made realized that i should. And in order for me to extend my appreciation to members who give response to my discussion. So now i am practicing this giving discussion, check for the comment and giving feedback again its a nice feeling having interaction here, keep on mylotting

Hi there I have been here at my lot for many months now and yes i know making comments responses we receive is participation too.I myself have created very few discussion.Mostly i enjoy giving answer to people who have asked questions here

yep! I check back on my posts because the discussion is so fun to read and learn about. I didn't know whether or not it was part of participation, but it sounded like a lot of fun. Also, I wanted to help other people who wanted to participate and give them a fun topic to talk about and think about. MyLot isn't only for money but it's for fun too. We just happen to get paid as well. :P

I am a newbie too and in the process of learning mylot..i read the FAQ but it would be more helpful if i learn from those who have been here soo long

I try really hard to keep up with mylot and on my posts as well, as long as the respones have something worthwhile to say and not just trying to make a penny.

At times I'll try chain responses but they are rare. Usually I'll respond to a response if I feel like it and I have something to add. And yes it is participation that helps out earnings (too bad it doesn't help out ratings or standing but thats for another discussion). Well, I'm glad you had some fun in another discussion and learned something.

Hi marguicha, you've been missing out a lot then. If all you get from your discussions is a long line of responses it does get a bit dull, comment back on all of them and you often get back a response then that is much more interesting than the first contribution made and a nice old chat can develop. As has been said about a zillion times on here you only earn through your own participation here so there's no point in receiving responses without comments plus it's heaps more fun. Have a look at some of the sucessful discussions on here for a really good feel for what'd out there. My leaderboard one is a really good example of fun to be had but it's not about this new term of 'barging in', anyone is welcome and it's called interaction.

Mylot had become my scholastic venue. I had been learning from the varied discussions and responses posted by the members. The ideas and the convictions had become more important to me than the earnings, the reason that I joined mylot. The people, although concealed by their imaginative avatars, are as real to me as the next human being.

Hi there, well I am relatively new to mylot and have been learning new things everyday. i did learn though right off the bat that you have to actually take the time toread and respond to peoples comments that they leave on a discussion you started or on a comment you left about someones discussion. I really enjoy doing this as well as just answering questions. Its true you get to find out about lots of different people. Its crazy how people can have such different opinions and you could have 100 different answers to one question. Well enjoy your time and happy mylotting!

Hi Marguicha, I did a series of discussions about commenting on mylot once, and it was commenting on those responses which finally made me feel at home in mylot. I find it a little stressful at times catching up with comments because I am terribly lazy and they pile up, but I have made it so I can't add new discussions until at least a few have been cleared. I am definitely finding that reading back on what people said is enjoyable, and if it leads to greater friendships it will definitely be worth it lol. I also learnt that commenting is part of the earnings too, but it hasn't really changed my view, I do it for the friendships lol All the best, Dranz
