Are u disappointed when u respond to someone's discussion with all the interest and hope to get a comment and do not get it from him/her. I generally do not get that personal about such issues at mylot,but for the first time I got disappointed.i responded to so many discussions started by him. He never replies to one.those responses were so from my heart,and wnted to know whether he just read them or not. Okay he may be busy,or he likes only to start discussions or he may be here for just making money but i am hurt just because he never says at least thanks for the response!!!

You said in yuor topic: "may be here for just making money" Let us clear this up once and for all (again). Anyone who starts a topic and does not comment on at least some of the responses has not created a quality discussion (just a question with some answers) and will NOT earn for it. We do not earn for the responses that others post - they do. WE earn for what WE type - simple! If I respond ona discussion and then do not receive a comment I am disappointed for two reasons. One because it seems I was ignored or the person was not interested n what I had to say. The second is because, as I said above, the person who started the dicussion is missing an opportunity (which I gave them by responding) to earn by commenting back. They will not earn if they don't do that.

I know very well that many, especially the newer Lotters, do not understand what we are told in the FAQs and I also know that not everyone, quite rightly too, is doubtful about some of the advice that I dish out. However next month I will have proof that what is in the FAQs is correct and as soon as I have it I will share yet again. I know that we all need proof of something before we believe it but some things are worth a try too, especially when there is everything to gain and nothing to lose

thanks for your quite "informative response".and I am happy to receive a response that helps me further in mylot from a very "senior" mylotter. I only hope that person reads this discussion and changes his attitude. I too got disappointed when as a person i get ignored. thanks for the response.

when i was a noob or more appropriately, during my first month here i really expected replies because i joined mylot for the "discussions". at first, i really thought people were posting topics because they really want to start discussions or something to talk about with all the users here (like in a forum). BUT, later on, i realized this isn't like any anime forum or any politics forum or any music forum or anything of that sort. sometimes, you really have to put in your mind that most people here joined for money and so anything that doesn't add to the earnings isn't really necessary. however, i do hope these topic starters would realize the importance of maintaining a discussion and gaining friends or avid "commentators/posters" (or whatever) so that they won't get a "no response" or a "few responses" topic in the future. right now, i don't really bother about it. but when my comments get replies, i try to reply back and continue the discussion. i don't really know what could help me earn here. i haven't read FAQs and in my two years, i had just started only one discussion and i don't plan to start new ones.^_^ you know, maybe he's not really reading all the comments. so next time, don't bother joining his discussions. i bet he's not the only one who can think of interesting topics here.^_~

Yes he is not the only one who can start interesting topics,But he is quick to start many.I would respond though,because someday he would realize it and would give me a comment.

...Hi there bhaskat015, When I write a response to a discussion and it is in answer to something that I assume they have an interest in receiving an answer to, I do wonder why there is nothing said in return. I once posted a discussion asking why people would leave a page of responses unanswered. Some people got offended and thought I was criticizing them on an individual basis and I wasn't. I kind of think some people are not aware that if they don't write responses they will not receive any credit for other people's postibg of responses. It is interesting to say the least. Some discussions have interesting subject matter and you want to talk about it when you post an answer, but if the person says nothing then you have to move on. I do get a bit disappointed, but life is too short to take it personally, so you keep moving. Thanks for the discussion. I wonder if the person you mentioned knows the rules or even cares? Take care.

I agree.When we respond expecting the comment/when it suggests for another comment we are disappointed.In such cases I doubt whether the person read my response or not.

Sorry that you feel that way, because it sounds to me like "him" you'll like to get to know on a different level and maybe's he's not picking up the hints that you're throwing his way. The next time you respond to one of his opinions, just flat out say, hey there i would like to get to know you better and see where it goes from there.------As far as expecting comments in return, i'm just on here for entertainment purposes, if it's anything beyond that, then i could careless.

Yeah I am also here for entertainment.But only for the first time that I took a little bit personal.I will be care less from now on.thanks for the response.

you know, you a have a point to get disappoint, but we can't blame them for not giving us a response for our comments. maybe some of them don't find our response be interesting that's why they don't exert some effort to give us just a little thank you. or maybe some others after they started a discussion they don't check who are those interested users gave response because they were too busy responding other discussion.

You may be correct.If they are busy,after one or two days they can respond.so many people do not respond at all.He starts so many discussions and yes he might be busy in some others discussions responding.and he does the same way not only to me,he never responds to anybody!!

most of the time when I respond to a discussion I don't even EXPECT a response. If I do get a response a lot of times it is only a thank you, and that isn't trying to start a discussion or anything, so a thank you isn't much different from a non-responsae.

A thank u is some what different from no comment,and a little better because it makes me know that the starter of the discussion at least read my response! May be it would be better not to expect any comments from now on!!

Well, I think that disappointment is not an option. I really do not care that much if someone would read my discussion and comment on that... All I care is that I got things out of my mind and at least give them an idea of what I think. So no hard feelings. I think that if I get disappointed with these I will get old at an early rate. So I would say no... Thanks for the discussion. Don't be disappointed bhaskar015. Just think of another discussions that you want to share. Have a nice day. Happy mylotting.

Well i doesn't get disappointment when i doesn't get response for my discussion. I was doing my duty here and i doesn't expect him/her to leave a comment for my discussion. But if some one respond to my discussion, then i will surely comment on their response.

Some discussions titles are in the form of questions.It means that the starter wants to know what our opinion is!In that case he should respond according to me.I agree it is our duty,but it also the starters duty to comment. thanks that u comment to your discussions!

Like everyone here in mylot, they don't get responses too that sounds disappointing but I don't mind if nobody reply perhaps it only shows that the topic is not interesting. just keep going..with tons of disappointments you will realize one day what to avoid and not..and you will discover to create what topic that has more responses.for me, I am just here for something to talk about whenever i get bored here at home and when my baby asleep.! learn and make good friends that helps and not to make you upset.

If I were in your case I'll definitely be disappointed too. But I was amazed that you can even recall that you actually responded to him because usually when I respond to discussions I don't really remember the name or the photo who started the discussion I simply answer the things that is needed as good as I can. At least I do reply to all who responds to me, I always check my yahoo mail to see who replied to my responses and discussions. Hope this will not happen to you again.
