Do you get upset when no Comments Your Responses?

I don't get upset but I do get a little saddened when the 'Discussion Owner' doesn't bother to come back and comment or just says 'Thanks for responding'. That, to my mind, is not a 'discussion' ... it's just a 'question and answer session' (at best). MyLot is about discussion and about quality ... that is, descriptive, meaningful and relevant posts. You might post a topic (good bad or indifferent ... just so long as it's not against the Guidelines) and people may post good quality responses but unless YOU can reply with good quality comments, it is just NOT a discussion. As I have said, I am not upset. I just think that those people who don't comment back just don't understand what MyLot is about and that makes me sad.

Usually no but I'm still quite new here so I'll probably expereince it more as my time on mylot goes on. Although with some of the discussions I've started I do wonder why someone with more knowledge of something than me doesn't take the time to comment on or to offer some kind of advice.

No response is one thing really disgusting especially if you believe you posted a good topic. Nevertheless, we can't do anything if nobody cares to comment. Just don't despair and try posting another topic and don't stop till you make one big hit.

You can't let yourself become upset by no comments to your responses. People can only reply back to what captures their interest. You can't force participation.

It seems to be a never ending situation at times as many are not aware that posting a discussion is not a discussion. I have many on my friend list which I do my best to steer them the right way. After so much effort trying to help, yet still see the same pattern, I do not get upset, rather more like disappointed.

Yes I also fell bad...some times discussion starter doesn't comment in the response he get back...It's really bad....

I wouldn't say I get upset, but if I put a lot of thought into a response, and I don't get a comment back, I feel disappointed.

When i respond to a discussion, I think it would be friendly for the poster of that discussion to reply. However, real life take precedence over our internet lives, so i do appreciate that it's not always possible. It would be nice if they could return at some point in the future to do it though.

That annoys me too.. It's got to the point that if its a fairly new user I go and look to see if they respond to their responders..(on their other topics) Many who create TONS of Discussions a day.. DO NOT RESPOND BACK.. If I see that they don't generally respond I don't usually WASTE my time typing a response to them because I like you get frustrated that I don't get a response back.. it can only be considered a discussion once that happens. And this is after all a DISCUSSION site.. ARGH! I'm going to go pull out some hair now..

Well I can not say I'm upset though, maybe a bit sad because the point in starting a discussion for me is to received responses from co-members either through their own experience which could serve as an advise or in their own opinion.The problem is some who post a response to a discussion never looks back if his/her response have been answered by the member who post the topic.So the discussion stops there once the responder don't answers back.Here in mylot all things are discussed as long as it's within mylot guidelines.Happy Mylotting to all

I am like you, payout, when I enter in a discussion, it is for discussing. It is common sense. Some are beginning discussions in "blind mode" : I am sure that they don't read or even receive the notifications of the responses. After 3 discussions without seeing any comment to the same member, I ended a last response two or three weeks ago by something like "would you condescend to comment a response sometimes ?" with no result . Some are reading, but I don't understand how I can get a best response without a word of comment ? After one year here, I respond first to the discussions of my friends that are inspiring for me, and less to those of beginners. I am not upset by this behavior -- except if they make a friend request to spam my notifications --, but if I see that a member never replies to anybody in a discussion, I prefer to jump in a box and have some fun in another discussion than to do my best to give a response that, at the best, will be read.

When others take the time to respond to your discussion, i feel you are obligated to at least comment back even if you don't reply to all of your responses. Why should i even bother to answer or comment on someones discussion if i know , the poster doesn't even care whether i do or not. What i do is, if i read a discussion that has many reponses and i see that the discussion starter didn't bother to comment on any of them,i will just leave the discussion without leaving any response at all. Sadly,these types of discussions are posted every day and it seems to me people just don't read the guidelines or just don't care, so, i say why should i.

I don't up set. But I feel sad! I always want to hear ideas of all friends here about the matter which i wrote in my discussions.

Yes, I'm a little bit upset, that's normal. And I'm more upset when I really care about the topic and I want to see peoples opinions. Recently I tried to start a discussion about the events in Tunisia. And I wanted to share with myLotters my discovery - the tunisian rap. Unfortunately I had only one response :)) Good luck to you!

Sure it kind of stinks when you take the time to type out a question especially one that you really want the answers to and then nobody responds, that of course makes me upset. It is hard to think up things to ask as it is and then if nobody even responds then it makes me feel bad and like I wasted my time. I notice some people ask really specific questions that a lot of people might not know about like questions about a certain book. I always try to ask questions everyone can answer.

I don't let it upset me, because I feel that if they don't want to comment back then it is on them, not me, as I did my part. I do however, think it is rude not to comment back, as if a user is going to take the time to read the discussion and respond, then they should be at least willing to comment back, and if they don't they are tho ones that don't earn. I think that some feel they don't have to comment back as they will earn from the responses they receive, but that is so far from the the truth, and if they would read the guidelines they would know that. I know I comment back, as I just worry about myself and no one else. You are right though, that it is nice to keep the discussion going, and by responding and another commenting keeps it going. good luck to you and happy mylotting.

I don't really mind if the discussion starter doesn't comment back on my response because perhaps he's just busy or perhaps my response doesn't require a comment back. Either way I don't lose anything. Because if the person who started the discussion had bothered to comment back, he's the one who will increase his earnings and if he doesn't comment back then he's lost the chance to earn.

Hi! Well I really dont get upset if I dont get any responses, it just means that maybe the discussion that I opened is not that interesting or maybe our fellow mylotters are busy with other discussions.Bottomline is, its ok for me if people dont respond as much as I would like to. In case that happens to me I will try my best to come up with a discussion worth discussing or interest others.Good luck to us!

greetings! not really upset, but slightly disappointed since a discussion entails a two-way communication. it's always nice to respond to interesting topics, but we also have to consider that maybe our answer was not worth replying to in the first place, hehe

I don't see a reason for me to get upset. I earn from what I type and it's up to the discussion's starter whether to comment back or not.
