Cleaning Up Unresolved Discussions!?

i hardly started a discussion here... most of the time, i just respond to other people's discussions... and so far, i hardly give best response as well for my discussions... i don't know why... i think i'm just being lazy and couldn't be bothered... this year, i will try my best to give best response to my discussions to appreciate the person who respond to my discussion... take care and have a nice day...

I take quite a long time before giving BR... sometimes I resolve discussions without even commenting! I did so in past, as I discovered recently. And I will NEVER recommend anyone to do this! As far as I know BRs don't contribute significantly in anyone's earning, so there's no hurry from my part. For me, best is always yet to come. Once in a while I go to these discussions to see if there is a scope for BR. If there's it's fine else I just keep it open... I just find some answer best, on mystic parameters.. Once I gave BR to something I totally disagreed with! Ah, but I was novice then and it was only answer so...

It is good to be up to date and resolved any unresolved discussions when the right time comes. I still have few pages of unresolved discussions which I need to resolved but am a procrastinator and never got around to award BR to the deserving recipients.

Hi Shattered. I have several unresolved discussions. I just haven't found the response that I was looking for on some of them. I don't know but when I read a response I just know it is the best one. I try to let the discussion go for a few days to see what kind of responses I get. But that isn't always the case sometimes I just start a discussion and right off the bat when I get a response that touches my heart that is the one I give the BR to.

I am avoiding unresolved discussions like the plague. I just can't pick a best response. I just know that someone is going to come along and post a response that might be better than the response I picked as the best response. I don't care if the topic is four, five, six, seven, eight months or whatever old, it is going to happen. If I did choose the best answer, I do think that I would spend a lot more time than I needed and in the end, I would most likely be torn. If you responded to one of my topics, they'll all good...well about ninety eight percent of the responses anyway, I'm sure their are exceptions.

I usuallu leave it about 3 -4 weeks before choosing a best response as rersponswes do tend to keep coming in. Of course the discussions can continue even when a best response has been awarded.

hi shattered you have just given me the incentive to finish my own unresolved discussions too. a good way to start the new year actually catching up on something here in mylot. I always do wait two weeks to let my mylot friends have tinm to read and respond if they wish as it seems so much fair that way I know some do the brs in hours or aday but I think thats not really fair to those who may be very busy but will respond in a few days.I checked a few days back but its time to do so again. I just read all the responses then just pick out maybe three then read again and pick the best of the three. I do not agonize over it like some do here as its not as if the person getting the br is going to get paid more for it.

I'm sure a lot of members have unresolved topics I do too, not because I they dont want to resolve them but because its hard to keep track of every single topic made, I know that its not too easy to scroll through all my old topics, and I've made a lot of discussions over the few years I've been here, though I must say reading this post has motivated me to go back through my topics and resolve some of the older ones.

Hi shattered This is a good point you brought up. I myself have lots of discussions unresolved, i didn't know i must resolve them. Best answer is hard to find or chose among others, and i didn't know we must chose best answer for every discussion. But i wonder, what to do if there is only one answer? must we chose it as best answer automatically? Even if it isn't best of the answers.

I don't like to leave any unresolved discussions. i do my best not to leave them behind. it is kind of pointless to begin a discussion only to to leave it hanging.

For me yes it is god so that don't have many load in your mylot discussion.

If the unresolved issue does not affect you at all then do not resolve it. In my eagerness to removed that from my file I give the best response to anybody who wants who comments that I think has written several things about the discussed topic but now it no longer affects me because in my mind the best response should be really the best one given.

Hi shattered I mostly mark best response when I find one of the best of all the responses. Other wise I generally wait for couple of months and mark best response. It is always an encouragement to mark best response and an applause for the person hard work of giving his best thoughts in writing. I personally enjoy my response being marked as best response, I check my profile once in a week to see if I have got any best responses. On seeing them I feel really accomplished with a sense of satisfaction. I choose the best answer based on positive things related to discussion, that does not mean they have to agree to me. If they poured something really useful to all of us who read the discussion I mark them as best. Happy Living Calpro

Yes, I am also waiting to clear them. But most of them aren't get the best response. But I am waiting with eager until I reach a good response. May be even after 2 years. lol . :). Choosing best response is depends on discussions. I almost post some discussion to seek information which I need. I don't have time to post trivial post which ask or share useless. So, In this criteria you have only two choice: You get answer or Nothing useful. So you can choose one answer. lol, there is another kind of issue I have with that in Unresolved. For some discussions, I really have more than one best. In that case , I am keeping mum to get more and/or rating the bests as +. Hope this would be best in that case. :)

I too have unresolved questions so if you want to try to answer one of mine I too will answer some of yours.

I too have unresolved questions so if you want to look at my questions i will look at yours.

Hi shattered, Good that you have started the necessary evils. Half of the task I completed some months back. But still there are so many to resolve. If not at a time I will do them in parts.

I had not logged in until now and notice you cleaning out your best responses. An advance thank you as I received several. I like to keep my discussions open for 1 -2 weeks but see I do not start that many so it is quite easy for me to close them out in one sitting. Since I do not start many I remember who stood out with very good content that contributed to the discussion. Any one with good responses, I seemingly give positive rating. As this way it does not make it difficult to decide between so many great ones. I usually rate positive as soon as they come in as my discussions can go 7 pages long so this way I do not have to go back and re read as I select the br. Happy New Year!
