Will You Still Respond To A Discussion...

Well, I am also of that kind sometimes. Since the discussion is already resolved when a best response is selected, the chance of getting more responses decreases. Some starters do not look back on their discussions once they had picked the best response. Sometimes, I still try so I can earn but it is better when receiving the 'pencil' because it is a bonus to earnings and it also adds a bit of fame to the user.

Hello boogerman! So it does attract some respondents when it has not been given? Well i am kind of guilty regarding your statement "there are users who wants to respond but they refuse to do it when a best response is already marked on a particular discussion". I have felt lazy when i saw a best response to that certain discussion as it seems like the query has been solved already so the interest seems to be decreasing.

Fame is right but i am not sure with additional earnings. Do we have additional earnings when we get that reward?

Hello WebMann. I guess that was a typo error having double "n" on your user name. That was a very interesting statement. As you have a different perspective on the matter. I would also want to give out that award a more later than giving it out with just the same day. Because it looks like the case is solved already and other responses won't be entertained at all or won't be given credit for the matter. Thanks by the way and welcome!

Yes dear, it is true we are getting extra cents if we get a pencil. But I am satisfied with the 'special pleasure' rather than the earning. We achieved something when somebody awarded a pencil for us.

Hello sree. Just like what you did just now. Yes a lot had told me that they respond because they want to and not because of the BR. However, one of the members here proved to himself that when we earn a pencil, it also has a corresponding amount or a slight increase with our earnings and the feeling is very rewarding if we get the best response. Thanks for dropping by. I bet i can see you in one of my discussions again. Take care!

That's definitely correct! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the wonderful explanation.Enjoy your time here and happy mylotting.

Yes and you are right about that vicky. But sometimes, we still hope for achieving the best response as one of the members here proved that it could increase your earnings as well as the reputation. So it will kind of boost our confidence and at the same time perseverance to make some more comments.

You are very much welcome.

LOL 2 cents or two cents referring to an old expression used by many people. It's just an expression used when you like add you input to a discussion, you give your two cents.

It is a figure of speech.

Hello sherric. Adding up additional information really does help! But what's up with the 2 cents?

@ MysD: Thank you for clearing that out to angryeve. You have always been a great help for the beginners. @ angryeve: Hello again and i am happy that you have decided to spend some time here in the lot. Well the stars beside our user name represents our reputation. It doesn't mean that we have received that number of best responses and positive ratings. It just means that we have posted some good quality responses to other discussions and that many of the users rated us as positive. As the number increases, it means that you have a very good reputation around here. These are the colors of the stars and number corresponding it. 1- light blue 2- gray 3- brown 4- violet 5- green 6- light pink 7- silver 8- yellow 9- red 10- dark blue

Hi mysdianait, wow thanks. That really explained everything and will be very helpful for newbies like me, except for the benefit part.hehe But I agree it must be really rewarding if you get to be awarded to be the best responder a lot of times. By the way, is it the star beside your username? So a yellow star means the number of the best response and a red star would be the number of the positive votes, I assume?? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi koala, thanks for that update. Well I guess I was totally wrong with the star colors, I never get things right lately. lol By the way, the color rankings did help a lot, cause I have been wondering about that ever since I got here on mylot, I just always seem to forget to ask someone about it. Anyway, is one the highest or the lowest? And if I don't have a star beside my username does that mean mylot doesn't consider my posts to have quality? Cause now that you've mentioned about the stars, I suddenly felt I was a loser cause I don't have one. hahahaha

Hello there! Well, that's good, just be free to share your views here because it can also help to earn. But it feels better when receiving a best response because it also helps to earn and that is the reason why some users prefer to post only on unresolved discussions and they are trying their best to get the award.

Yes i have seen it and thanks for dropping by. Hope to see more of your responses to my threads. Keep posting and happy mylotting!

He's the one who got the award cause he believes that we could earn a bit higher when we are being marked as a best response. So i believe that he deserves cause he proved it to me and also shared his opinion to all of the members who would come across with this topic. Have a great day!

I very rarely get to the blogs. Sometimes I comment on the news articles bu not that often either. [i]

I get it MysD. That's a very big PERIOD. Regarding travels, don't you think it's very time consuming like reading the blogs?

Well, that's really not a big deal, unless mylot give us additional earnings for receiving best response.

Hi neil, but boogerman has proved that if you received the BR mark, your earnings will slightly increase.

I have missed the part of earning while responding even if there's a best response already. I guess we all have the same opinion with this matter and that having or winning a best response award is not a big deal at all.

Hello Ysabel! That's a very cute avatar. Thank you for sharing your view with this topic. I would also love to share my opinion to the matter though there is also a big possibility that the starter cannot read your response at all since he/she have already chosen a best response. What do you think? Even i am having second opinions with responding to discussions with a lot of responses that you need to flip pages just to look for your response which really takes a lot of our time from us.

Hi ysabel, and koalapenguin, well, everytime we post something, the person who starts the discussion gets a mail and from there he or she can get a direct access to ur particular comment. Even otherwise, ur comment does reach him or her in the mail. Therefore, ur communication is complete. U need not fear that the person has not seen ur response. Of course, he or she may choose to respond later, depending upon the time he or she has. As far as joining a discussion that already has best response, I dont think I would hesitate. In fact, I have participated in many such discussions. I get to read thru some of the responses given by the others, and if I do have a valid point to make, I do make it. At times, it is just signifying agreement with the person who starts the discussion, or the one who has responded.

Hello vandana. That was a nice point. But eventually, not all members read a lot of responses as they have troubles making comments to the responses. They also said that it consumes most of their time. I know the email and everything about it. I was just talking about the commenting back possibilities.

Thanks also for the response. Have a nice day! Take care

Hello aerous. Yes we will agree to what you have said my friend. Thanks for sharing your views on this topic and hope to see you around. Have a good day!

Hello again, Yeah, after reading your discussion, I straight went to drag back my old discussions and read trough all the responses I received. I then pick the most useful to me and devote the best responder. So you mean we don't get any earning when we receive a best response?

We do receive earnings.. but the normal earnings only and not something that exceeds the usual. Though i am not very sure of this stuff cause boogerman said that we somehow earn higher when we receive the best response award.

Hi ving. I am glad that my discussion helped you realize to look back on your previous discussion and choose a best response. I think there won't be any problem with your suggestion as all of us have been doing that for months. Besides, having the best response mark doesn't increase our earnings anyway.

Hello levite. I don't know that Yahoo Answer functions that way as i don't participate there. Thanks for some useful information. Mylot really provides us many opportunity to answer a lot of discussions and interest without a limit. So that's good.

Sorry I have responded just today. Mylot is indeed better with the additional feature of rewarding us for the discussion we start.

I agree. Especially if we can relate to the topic very well. Well reading others responses is not my kind of hobby but if i know the member, i might as well read some of their responses. Thanks veronizm.

You're welcome! Well, actually I don't really read all of the responses but I just skim through them. Just to see what others would have to say and also to make sure that I would have a unique response, lol.

Hello eisenherz. I am glad that you are not after the money we make here and you are really looking forward of responding to interesting topics. Good day and take care.

Hello ds. I was kind of confused with your statement. But i think you are also implying the same thing with the others. Thanks for sharing and have a good day! Happy mylotting.

You are right about that AK. I hope you'd get a shinier star next time i see you though. Happy mylotting!

Hello K4. Your user name sounds like a cellphone model. Thanks for the response, though i would appreciate it a lot if you put something else aside from earning. As we all know that part already. Anyway, hope to see you around and good day!

Hello murtuza. 100% of the mylotters have the same opinion and i am happy with it. Though boogerman also noticed that it somehow increase our earnings even just for a few cents. So i think it does help and every BR mark deserves it. Thanks for sharing your idea.

Hello olepmis. Yup, you are right with every discussion as not a contest. Keep on mylotting and hope to see you around.
