Responding to a discussion...BE CAREFUL..!!!

There is a Lotter who has responded more than once on several of my discussions. This is because some of my old ones keep coming back to life. They see them and respond, forgetting that they had already responded on one of the previous pages Is there anything wrong with responding twice? Especially if the user is consistent and responds in thw same manner as the first time when responding again?

sagnik the poor guy probably did not remember posting the first time as that was so far apart, I think a l ot of us have goofe that way so why chastize him for an error anyone could make. and no mylot admins are not that mean you will not get anything deleted for an honest mistake. I often respond to old discussions as there is no law against it. I dont think its funny as much as just damned human and I think it is rather mean of yo u to put this person on the spot and go to all the trouble of pointing him ou t like hes some sort of freak.If this was such a horrible bad thing to do my lot would have made mention of it in the rules. Mylot is more accepting than you seem to be.Mylot has not deleted my account and I have boobooed like that twice too. I would be very angry if you had dredged up my booboo and shown my user name like thatreally one of the rules in mylot rules is do not refer to us by user names like that. You are singling out someone to poke fun at him and to me thats just not kosher.

Its quiet rare that i respond to discussions which are way older than our friendship There shouldn't be any problem for someone like ME who is choosy when it comes to responding though. btw i can imagine my life without computer

There is nothing wrong with posting two responses to a discussion, or 5 or even 20. As long as each response contributes something to the discussion.

Hi there! Thanks for the heads up. For me, I usually answer as soon as possible. Once I have answered, I will place it as read message in eail. Normally I can recall what I have replied but yes, human error could happen. Thanks again!

Thanks for your contribution and advise, I will be careful about that, because it can be an human error, like you say ;). How many fails do a account need to be banned? (your opinion)

If you rate a discussion the first time you respond, you can just look, see that you have already rated it, and go on, UNLESS of course you have something else to say. Then it might be that you want to reply again, or comment. I do not think that is against the guidelines at all and would be very surprised to see things deleted for that reason, unless you are just copy/pasting the same response over and over. I do not mind if someone responds to my old discussions, that gives me someone else to interact with.

I have seen a couple of people that post twice. (Technical difficulities where the same response is on twice, one right after another.) And if it is was six months after you saw the first response maybe they had thought of something new to add to the discussion or had forgotten they had ever responded in the first place. It does get alittle difficult to keep tabs on our responses after a while. But, you know what does really help on here? That is when people don't nit pick and find all the little things to grump about and just find some imaginative things to discuss.

I might answer to the same discussion twice. It would be an honest mistake. I can only hope that if I ever do, that I answer the same haha. Maybe he did hoping he'd get a "BEST RESPONSE"....Ive noticed you didnt pick anyone as a BR still as of yet......!!!! It wouldnt bother me if someone were to answer more than once to my discussions. Sometimes you feel like you want to add something......it IS a discussion after all, so why not.......but I can understand those who might not like it.

Well me I mostly respond to new discussions I hardly ever go back and respond to old discussions, well just sometimes, but not so much so I pretty much won't make that mistake, but I am pretty sure that person didn't mean too. It was a honest mistake really.

I see where Alice/Alex/Admin explained it was okay. Well I would not have knownn this had you not started the discussion. I see where others posted the singling out of a member, I am sure it was not intentional but hey we all learn something daily. So thanks for putting forth the discussion as I really never gave it thought before, outside of really searching the pages to make sure I did not respond before. Thanks

I have checked the link and seems like the responder did not realise that he was posting his second response to the discussion. I always do scroll down and check if I have already replied the discussion or not if it is more than a few days already. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

I read the discussion, the admin has already confirmed that it is not wrong. However, as a human being we know that had nothing to do with the discussion or interest, it was for earning one cent, that's it. Also, I would say, it was quite funny, instead of replying to new topics, that user chose an older discussion. However, I would request you to reply to that response to make the discussion look genuine. Thanks for sharing this incidence!

hey sagnik, guess you're from india.i live in kolkata. Now as for your discussion you know how slow internet speeds are somewhere. It also happens sometimes to me that i post a response or start a discussion and mylot shows some errors and when i post it again, after a few minutes i notice that my response have been doubled. Not intentional. So i guess it doesn't matter if it's not intentional.

I did that once and only realized it when the OP pm me to inform me that I have responded to his discussion twice. I responded on different dates and luckily my responses were not contradicting otherwise it will cause me further embarrassment.

I had to go look just in case it was me. :D Seriously, I don't check to see if I responded to something before. If I see it, I don't remember it, and I have something to say about it, I respond. Doesn't happen often, but it happens.

This had happened to me before. Hopefully, only once because Im only aware of one discussion.LOL I made the mistake of keeping the discussion notification in my mail. This is how I respond to discussions. Before, I would read a notification, see if I can respond and then move on. Sometimes I forget which notifications are done so there are times when I read the notification again. There are those instances when I feel that Ive responded to a discussion already, so I check by using the search bar in the myLot site. I see if Ive already responded to it then delete the email. However, this particular discussion is very interesting to me that I responded to it. I was responder no.200+ but I read all responses because I wanted to know what others thought. Imagine my surprise when I saw my name on a response around response #150+. I read it again and saw that I still had the same views as before. I just commented on my latest response and inform everybody of my mistake. I guess things like that just happen. Im just glad that at this point in time, Ive acquired the habit of deleting notifications once I respond to it or read it. Happy New Year!^_^

Sometimes a topic is really familiar to me. So when i feel like i have read this before have come across that same discussion, i usually leave it or check if i have responded to it or not. That way i can be sure i won't be commenting on the same topic again and again. It only shows that we are human, we make error once in a while.

what were you doing in 1 year old discussion.. Well it is the problem when we found so old discussion to reply.. I was trying to search some topic of my interest before a week.. And i found one topic to reply but after seeing its second page i saw my own response with my old account.. Otherwise i had reply it again.. But as admin has cleared its not a problem then i guess i should have find that discussion again..

Generally I used to post for old discussion, because in that case, the chance of deletion of the posting will be less. So whenever I am opening any of the discussions, I see the whole page if I have already replied to the post or not. If the page number is more than one, generally I bypass it. Yes..even I also think that number of times if we will do the mistake of duplicate replies, then our account will be deleted.
