some people never answer the discussion question

I don't answer discussions if I don't understand what the question is or if I don't have the answers. I conscientiously make sure that I have answered all of the questions. Sometimes, I indirectly answer the questions but this is only on occasions. I try to be direct and straightforwards in answering questions. If this were to happen to me, I would just clarify from the one who posted an answer if they think, they have the right question or to elaborate on their answers. Fortunately, I started very few discussions and they were also just simple questions.

Hi.Yes,I felt it sometimes.But I think,People like simple question and simple to answer it.People like to discuss about what happen daily and sometimes who could experienced by them self.

I have never found this issues up to now, i surely believe that this issues shoulb exist in mylot, the most parts of this conditions i think maybe they don't clearly understand what's your meaning, but we can't exclude the possibility that someone just want to gain more post numbers for money, they don't see the topics at all,,, so you can decide if you need to give these guys a "_" according to actual situation...

Hi Clorissa, it's not just in mylot, we face this problem everyday. Sometimes I'm talking with my friends, before I can finish my sentence, someone makes an abrupt change in direction. I can't blame anyone since I am frequently at fault too. It's just the way our brains function. Our brains can link and think so fast. It's like someone asks you to comment on the show last night, then you suddenly remember that you have to buy tomatoes since you used all the tomatoes last night. So you come out with "let me write down tomato in my shopping list first." I believe that is the same with mylotters, somehow our discussions trigger their memories and they feel they have to say something.

Hello, I think if you are more specific, of what kind of answer you are looking for. It was sometime ago when I have read someone disscussion, and they had included if your answer do not relate to my question, please do not respond, maybe try this in your future disscussions and see how that works.

Yes I know what you mean. And I can understand why you cannot comment on their answers when they go off-topic totally or talk about something totally different from the question you've asked.

It happens-miscommunication is quite common. I am guilty of that at times. But then, conversation in real life goes on like that a lot of times too. It isn't that people don't understand, they just have an example to view another side maybe or to share an example? But then, yes, sometimes questions are not worded to gain the correct response.

I hate those kind of responses. It kind of makes me want to go, "are you high while you're myLotting or don't you speak English well?" I don't understand why people post responses that are not at all related. You're just going to get rated negatively for that.

yes, that's why i always start a discussion that is simple to understand and fun to respond. don't post any discussion that is too hard to understand because there are many people around who don't understand good english and are here to learn it. so try to be gentle with them and enjoy my lotting :)

Hi clorissa, haha yah sometimes I do encounter comments like that. It's not usually because they didn't have anything to say to your discussion, sometimes they just have so much ideas in their heads that they totally forget to give an exact answer to your question. And sometimes, I think you're right, they just don't have any good answer to post but still wants to participate on your disussion cause they could relate to it. But think any comment is good as long as its not offensive cause it only shows that they find your discussion quite interesting and worth giving time to. =)

Yes i know what you mean. Maybe they just want to post something so they can increase their earning, but they really are not understand how to solve your problem. So then that answer it with post that totally different from the topic. But it could be that they are not really good in english and not get the point of your question. Well that's what i think anyway

Yeah your right there are some people who will just respond to a particular topic just for the sake of participating.I am new in mylot but whenever i found topics which are interesting i will really respond to it.We don not know that our responses to a particular discussion will be very valuable to others.I am new here in mylot but i found mylot a very interesting site to which it enables me to express myself to public.

What are your questions?

In suppose not all people are on the same wavelength as you. They feel they have to say something whether it answers your question or not and carry on any way. I suppose we have to be good listners or good readers in this case, and read whatever they have to comment on.
