I'm really sick of those who never comment back.

Well -- that's pretty much the routine - you post a discussion and just expect everyone else to respond to it with the thought that more people who comment on your discussion, the better it is for your "points". What's happening is pretty much a thread-starter-who-gets-lots-of-responses routine instead of an actual discussion. The bane of get-paid-to-post stuff. :)

MyLot is all about discussing and those who do as myLot tell us are those who are getting the best out of what myLot offers us. Maybe you can suggest to your friend that if they start a topic and don't comment back to the responses then it is not a discussion but only a question with a series of answers. Explain to them that if they slow down on posting new topics and spend more time commenting they will enjoy myLot much more and will also be much happier when earnings update. Those who use myLot in the way that it should be used, for discussions, are also those who never complain about earnings being slow here too. If this particular friend heeds your advice all well and good. If not then rather than being upset about it I'm sure you have other friends who do comment back and you could spend more time on their discussions.

hi there chenxiaoyou, COOL :) , hmmm I think I also happen to know that person, I have observe the way he does here in mylot, he post a lot of discussions and never comment to your response.. Here in mylot we cannot really expect have responses in our comments. There are others who wanted to post dicussion only because he/she thinks he can earn better that way.. For me, I really facilitate every comment I receive in all my discussion and thanking them for the response.. Have a great day and happy mylotting...

Yes, I am upset as well. There are two types actually, one is they totally didn't comment back, while another is only comment back on the first page which sometimes I give them the benefit of doubt that they don't realized there is other pages. Although it can be quite tedious trying to comment back to the people who reply but indeed, it's one to earn. Be it my friend or not, if they choose not to reply, the only way is for me to avoid their discussion.

don't be, my friend. the guy or gal may not have the time to do it -- responding to comments or commenting on responses. besides, he or she may not want to just post an answer -- she or he wants to have a more substantive comment or response. just wait, he or she may just be taking his or her own sweet time.... or, are you referring to me... you see, i've been quite busy the past two weeks. i simply can't find time to do mylot... i am sorry...

Hi, Chen. Actually I'm a newbie here. I have started only several topics, but I did try my best to read through the responses to my discussions seriously and comment back. I think it is a way of showing our respects to people who left comments and also a way of showing respects to ourselves. Interactive comments can start a discussion not mere a topic with a series of answers. Well, different people have different natures. Just take it easy and keep away from their topics. Happy mylotting!

Ok when I first saw this discussion I wasn't quite sure where you were going with it, but now I understand.. Ok and I never got the point of posting a discussion and then not bothering to reply to the responses. I thought that was the entire point here. I KNOW that is exactly how you make money here. Personally if I saw this trend with anyone here, I would stop posting responses to any of their discussions. I mean I am here for the money, but I find the stimulating conversation to be just as rewarding.

Yeah I understand where your frustration comes from. He/She seems to not have the grasp of what MyLotting is about... I've been here 2 weeks and can already see a lot of "unwritten community code" of sorts. And I like it. Unspoken rules are usually a sign of being in a family, or a community, which wherein the thoughts and opinions might differ, but the culture is the same. Unwritten rules within a community, to me, means that that specific community is in-tune enough with each other that they need not speak of such rules anymore, like the one you stated. It is a tad bit disrespectful, but, at the same time, maybe that's just his style. If it's not your thing to have unresponded posts, then I suggest just ignoring his posts completely if his style peeves you. I know I would. But it really doesn't tick me off when someone doesn't comment on my comment. I try not to make other people's problems mine, you know what I mean? On that note, that guy's a jerk!!! ahahahaha

Well why worry about that so much. You know if you reply to discussion, that is when you actually earn, if that other person does not want to earn, don't loose sleep over it and just do your posts.

Just don't expect too much when you're responding to a discussion. You don't really know them and they really don't know you and if you get angry with that then it's not really their problem, isn't it. If you just let it go then it'll come easy for you. Just respond to a discussion and don't expect a reply.

Well,I don't expect all of them comment back my response but I just hope they read it serious.I think the comment is the best way to show we have read the responses.I'd like to comment all of the responses to my post but we can't make sure everyone here do this.So just take it easy and look out.

I have many friends like that in fact there are some who do not even bother to reply to a single discussion posted by me but still I just reply to the discussions posted by them because I do not expect anything from them so I just reply and forget the rest. Hope you do not get too emotional there are some people here who are here just to earn money.

well that can be really frustrating sometimes. i would be awaiting a reply and after two days i just don't go back to check it! may be that person is not doing it intentionally right? i think you should not take it to heart and if he/she is posting good discussions then reply to them and forget about it if there is no response! :)

Always have the habbit of providing or share some information through these sites. This forum is ment not only for earning money but to share some knowledge.If somebody likes our message then they will respond. Dont worry for not getting any comments in it coz sometimes people wont time to read and respond to the discussions.

When I start a discussion, it is to get others interested in debating the discussion, not to fight with me about my opinion on something. I am the one who starts the ball rolling and then watches what happens. I don't even have the time to answer every reply, and who wants to read "Thanks for the reply" 49 times.

I have one like that. I even left a comment once asking about him never responding. Nothing. lol I pretty much don't go to his discussions any more!

The best thing to do is respond if you want to, and don't expect an answer from your friend. It makes no sense to me, but I have heard of this before. If I understand MyLot correctly, you get paid the same for starting a discussion or answering a reply, so really he isn't making any more or any less money. I try to respond to all my friends discussions, but some I really know nothing about, so I can't. It does take a long time to respond if you have a lot of responses, but if this happens continually it is more than a time issue. I don't blame you for being irritated by this. The only thing I can say is not expect a reply.

That is the main reason why I stop posting discussions since I no longer have the time to give feedback due to time constraint (much that I want to). I know that you are very frustrated with this newbie. No offense, chenxiaoyue_713, but this is a free site and everyone is entitled to do whatever he/she wants (as long as it abide the rules of MyLot). I did not read the TERMS of this site that well but as far as I know, there is no hard rule that you need to give feedback to everyone who responds to your discussion. Different strokes with different folks. Maybe his forte or expertise is really in creating discussions and not really responding or giving feedbacks. I suggest that you let him be and hope that he reads this to open up his mind to what is appropriate. Even better, since you consider him a 'friend', why not PM him/her about this. Besides, being somebody who is 'older' in terms of being a member, that person might listen to you. If not, at least you had given your piece of mind so bring back your peace of mind. MyLot should be a happy and rewarding experience. Just avoid his discussions to avoid the temptation of frowning. It won't do good on your face. Plastic surgery is expensive nowadays. (Just trying to make you laugh, PEACE!) Cheer up! There are a lot of discussions for you to read and enjoy. Lighten up.

I don't have such friend but i've heard of some

Maybe because the person knows you, they feel that it will not count or that you guys are doing it get ratings, increase income. You have to ask them directly to get your answer.
