Do You Leave Comment to the Response Received for Your Initiated Discussion ?

Thank you for pointing that out. I've been wondering about that, I was thinking there may be rules about posting comments to the responses? I am new to forums that is why I would really appreciate tips from you guys.

I am guilty about that. I try my best to comment on every response on the discussions I have posted. But I cannot keep up at all. There are many responses I get for every discussions I have made. I really appreciate all the efforts and time they have given. I will try to change and comment on all the response as I can.

I always comment on all my responses because I am so thankful for their time! It is the general idea of this site to reply to each other and it is also a good way to earn because a discussion may receive 100 responses but if the starter does not comment he or she will not be paid except for the initial post. Aside from that I think it just common courtesy to post a reply!

Yes, I do try and respond to the responses. I do admit though that a lot of the time, there might be a couple of responses here and there, that I might miss but I really do not miss them on purpose. There are just a lot of time where it would be foolish not to respond. I mean, you can get some good dialogue going a lot of the time and it can really make the topic active, perhaps leading to more people to hop on. Plus, the fact is that you do get paid for the topics. I am not one for throwing some potential money away. So that is an added incentive. Plus it just is interesting to interact with people and it does in fact show that the people that are talking in your topic are interesting enough to respond to. So there is really no point in not responding to discussions. I do my best to try to keep up in those topics.

I always try to make it a point to respond or comment on the responses from discussions that I've started. Yes you're right, this is an interactive site, where people should have an interchange of ideas and opinions. Communication is a 2-way process. It is but common courtesy to express your appreciation and comment to people who responded to you. If ever, I don't really have an opinion about the response, the least that I can do is to give a rating. Those are the + - ! symbols that we see on the lower portion of the response block. This is something that many forget to give. It is our responsibility to give ratings because it increases the status of our fellow myLotters, it's also a way of appreciating the effort put by posting a response or comment.

I like to respond to the comments in my discussions. It's really good to see that your topic is interesting for somebody. But I had I real, live dialogue just a couple of times. I live in Eastern Europe and my time zone is GMT+2, so I can't catch most of the myLotters online. But I see that some people don't bother to respond. Maybe they can't understand that the best side of a website like my Lot is not the cash earning.

I always try to comment on the responses I get to the few discussions I post. As you say, it cannot really be a discussion unless the person who initiates it has something further to say (or, at least, others comment meaningfully on the responses). Many people are here primarily in the hope of earning money. It is very sad, sometimes, that it is just these people who fail to understand that posting a topic for discussion is only the beginning. Usually these people have never taken the trouble to find out what MyLot is or to read the Guidelines. One of the most common questions (and quite naturally so) is "How does MyLot work?" or "How do I earn here?". There is usually no lack of people to post at length and to explain exactly what MyLot is and how it works (it is one of the friendliest forums I know) but, very often, it is to no avail because one STILL finds these newcomers posting questions (which will often get deleted) and either just saying "Thanks for responding" or, more often, just nothing. We have to forgive and understand that some people have very little English and, though they may understand the responses, find it very difficult to write more than a sentence or two. That is not MyLot's fault, however. It is what it is and, if nothing else, we hope that a few people will stick around to learn better English (which they undoubtedly do) and to practise the noble (and very much forgotten) art of discussion!

I know exactly what you mean. It is very frustrating when you try to help someone out and answer thier question only to feel like you have been ignored because they couldn't take the time to respond back to you. I actually try to keep in mind those people that I have previously responded to that never respond back, that way I can avoid thier future discussions. As for myself, I don't start too many discussions. But I always try to go back and respond to any and all responses I get. Now it may take me a few days to get back to them. As I don't sit here on mylot 24 hours a day. I have a house to take care of, children to raise, and an actual paying part time job. But I do get back to them as soon as I can. So if you ever respond to one of my discussions and don't get a response back from me right away, give me a day or two then check back. Most likely by then I will have responded.

Hello Rao I always comment back on all responses i receive on my discussions, may be late, but i do, it is necessary too, to selet one as 'best response' to resolve the discussion, if not it keeps appearing in the list of 'unresolved' discussions.. Thanks for sharing. Professor. . Cheers
