Hey..... Best response???

You are so much of a joker. I have never given solely for the first answer before. I have given or both longest and usefulness though. By the way i don't understand what you mean by witties answer. Please explain.

I still don't know what you mean by witty. Does it mean funny?

woops! Spelling mistake... Meant to say "The most Witty Answer"

I know. It's a lot of work. How about if as we read the different replies we make a note on excellent responses and so later we only have to reread a few responses? Maybe that might make things easier.

When you say make a note do you mean on paper, or to only rate them (the thing side of their responses)?

You are good. Not even good. You are great. I can't believe you would actually read back through all those post.

I am sure that if i gave a best response before i reach my 30 response, I would not have get as much response as i did. Some people get turn off when they see that the best response has already been giving. So i wasn't going to take that chance. So what if you never choose the response early. Do you plan to read all those responses over again, just to grasp what they are saying so you can give a best response?

You can wait for a week or so before giving out the BR. I had even given some as late as one month later because it was very active for quite a while. I would read back all the responses and choose one that strkes a chord with me. The idea that people get turned off after having seen the BR? Surely that's not true. We are earning for our participation, and if the topic is interesting surely it's worth replying to?

But if you get a best response. The person would benefit more. So I think it turns some people off. So you are telling me that you would actually go back through all those responses. You are really good.

But i think that will just give me a bad representation. People soon start to stop like me or such, if you understand what I am saying.

Wow this is such a hard choice, but i really don't like to be unfair. I really don't want to give it to a friend solely because he/she is my friend. They have to earn it to get it. The way that I am talking makes it seem like i have to go for the harder way at this moment. *sigh*

Oh my this will take forever to complete now. I cant believe it.

I think you have no choice at all. Go the harder way, at least you will be proud with your choice.

Maybe you don't understand what I am saying here. The response that you give should be done to choose your best response. But what if you have a lot of responses like 75 responses. Would you go back through all of those responses just to choose a best response?

It seems you like to work so much. I guess i will also have to do that. I know it will take some amount of time. Look like i better get started. Oh well. Hope i finish quick.

Actually I would go through all 75 responses and read them I would also add a comment to each response to make it worth my effort. Although I know you wouldn't have that much time to do that in one day so do it over a certain period of time. I'm sure you wouldn't forget get what people responded in just a short amount of time.

Calling me a liar is not very friendly is it? Those things did not happen as a result of getting a BR. I often get BR and I assure you, nothing happens. Choosing BR is simply a way of letting the person know that their contribution was the best and most useful to your topic. Try reading the FAQs...specifically "Discussions", down at the bottom of the list are the notes about BR. Also read "How do I Increase My Earnings" in the section headed "Earnings and Payment Information". It says nothing about BR increasing earnings. Your ratings for a category increased simply because you answered in that particular category which happens to be one of your interests. Your star increased because you are participating in discussions and your fellow users have rated you positively. To the best of my knowledge, this is how it works. I am not a liar. I've been able to read the Guidelines, FAQ and TOS...what's stopping you?

What do you mean by the person that get awarded the best response doesn't get anything extra? That is a lie. When i got best response. My star increased for one and my ratings for that category (computers) increase if you know what i mean.

Yes, I have done that, when it is just OBVIOUS that the best response is that person. Its when I have a choice, I'm more likely to award it to the active person rather than the inactive one...

I think i am going to have to through all those pages then. I remembered i just gave a best response to a person who only post 6 times in over 3 months. That person I know is no longer active, but to be honest that person deserved that best response so that is why i gave it to that person. Would you have?

Oh because i thought i was just weird to do so. But you are the same thing although most time you do the opposite.

I you want to be really fair, yes. But if you're short on time you could just choose the first outstanding one you come to. I have tons of "unresolved" discussions where I haven't picked the best response. I keep meaning to, but I can't give them the time they deserve. I should try to do even one every day and eventually would catch up.

Remember the last time i read through those responses was when they were just coming in and to be honest at this present time, I can't really remember about those people specific response. So it looks like i would have to go back through all those responses according to you, right?

So that is it then. I am going to have go through them one step at a time. By the do you know any other place to make more money than on mylot. Even by investing?

So then that means it still end up with you searching through all of responses before coming to a conclusion of which one to pick. So you would prefer though to give someone who respond to your discussions frequently though?

No - I am careful enough to check on that one. I give based on the content and suggestions. Of course, I do face the dilemma. But in the end lucid expression and content wins. :)

The persons words just have to jump out at you So wait, what if you reach like the twentieth response and that one amazed you greatly, would you continue to look through the rest, 50 more responses? I wonder?

That's the thing. I cant really remember that at all. because i don't usually give bet response right away. It is usually after a couple of weeks or so. So i have no remembrance of who did what.

Yeah that will keep me busy. And wasting me time that i can use to do something else. You know what I will still do that anyway. Hope I finish soon.

Okay, do it this way. Take your time, read all of them again write down the best of them and then you pick one. Enjoy it, that will keep you busy.

Its all in the practice, and most times its all in amount of really active friends. You are very lucky. Enjoy it while it lasts.

To tell the truth I am thinking of doing that about now. Because i really dont think i can manage to go through so many posts. that is too hard.

But wait the thing is that I really cant remember which one did impress me. And the only to find out that is to actually go back through all those responses. Which will take so long.

Yeah I know... I was giving out yesterday and had this same problem. We need a lot of patience to re-read. It's ok if you didn't go through all just pick one among some you think are good. It doesn't have to be the BEST, just one of the GOOD ones would be good enough.

So I am asking you would you search through all the post to find that. If you have over 75 responses, would you search all of them.

But i can't manage to do all that. Oh my, I'm going to die!

thats the only way

What did you say. You searched through so much and it turned out the first was the best. That suppose to hurt. It would have hurt me though.

So i you mark it in a few days. Wouldn't that just limit the amount o people who respond. I think people do not like to respond to a certain decisions if the best response has already been given. You understand where, I am getting at?

Wait you ain't understand me. i am just asking i you would go through over 75 responses or so to award a best response. How do you go about giving responses to that amount of posts.

Ok then. Do you think that this is could work? I used to look on the longest conversation. What i mean by that is not a long response, but a long conversation; the person respond, then i respond, then the person and it goes on.

Well if i am in that problem where i see that more than one post are equal to the extent where i want to both give them best response. Then i would look at the length of their response. Longer length wins

What you put them in a lottery pot too? It seems like sometimes you throw dices to pick. But question I am really asking is how you going to go through so much post if you have over 75 responses. How you going to pick one through so much.
