My last page with "responded" is full of topics, but still the people who post the discussions doesn't comment after us, the responders. I got the strange feeling that i don't discuss, i give my vote or something like that.
Please, don't understand me wrong, i don't blame anyone of you. Lately i'm really positive with everything in my life, things are going in row good after another good, but still about that feeling and it doesn't change.
I am not going to explain or talk something about "responds collectors". Also i will ask you if you don't comment after your responds, don't feel pointed that way from me, it's not that.
Just wanted to share how i feel.
Anyone else with the same feeling?

suggar so metimes things happen over which we have no control and we feel as bad as you when we cannot get back and comment on your responses. igts not that we do not care but that we may have been ill, or beng sent to new doctors and we just have a time crunch.But some here are making too many discussions and admit they do not commet back so I assu me they are the ones who think they get paid for our work of responding,no sto mylotters.WE RESPOND WE GET PAID. YOU COMMENT AND YOU GET PAID. SO DO
NOT WRITE MORE DISCUSSIONS THAN YOU CAN EASILY COMMENT BACK ON.
I do not like it when I can see this person with fifteen discssions in one day does not even want to comment so why make them. in order to discuss something it takes two to twenty five people to make it a real fun discussion.I feel strongly we must all comment back on our discussions
to actually have a discussion going.

Happy to see you around Hatley, i really missed you
All you said is true - too much discussions, impossibility for us to pay attention for all of them, i simply feel that even if i earn money, i didn't earned attention... Attention is not the reason i am here, but i can imagine it like i'm in one room with someone and the person is talking for something, i answer or comment after him and my comment stays in one big "nothing" ... It's just like i haven't said even a word
Instead of that i could have great conversation with someone else... all of us could. I want to say again that i don't blame...
Thank you for understanding me again and again.

Hello suggar, Hatley is correct do not make many discussion which you cannot make a live discussion - other mylotterr here are very seldom to make or start discussion instead responding only and make discussion in order to earn more. to make attention here response to them with your quality response and try to make the discussion lively... see you around

Hello Visa, i know what Hatley is talking about
I'm not one of those, who post many discussions every day... my participating is in the middle of the two sides - 2 discussions a day, everyone receive a comment back, also few responds a day (in other discussions).
So how do people feel when they don't get comment after respond?

Hi, Suggar....I too have responded to discussion starts to go back later and see no comment from the original member. It's like a slap in the face. They ask a question or questions in the original post and then don't hang around to see the answer. I therefore do not comment if several comments have been made with no answer from the discussion 'opener'.

Thanks for sharing Yoyo, it's hard for me to find catching topics lately. May be i'm trying to fix my attention more to my real life or because i don't have a lot of time for here, so i don't stay longer and i loose a kind of my connection with some of the members, i don't know but still catching topics are not so much for me. It's not as it was before - i responded to everything, it was just interesting. Now real life took more of me. So when i find something i join, but still it's kind of disappointing ... you know
Thanks again.

For me it's not a reason to give negative rating to the poster. I don't know how is it for the others, but i don't rate negative so much - only if the attitude is rude or insulting for some of the other members (or something said with double meaning, i so much hate that kind of short two lines posts, where the real words are hidden behind a little arrogant mask )...

You will never be disappointed when you come to me discussions. I am one who feel uneasy when I start a discussion without acknowledging my responders. I will not leave my responses to fate. I might take longer time to come to each and every responses but I make sure that I comment to them without fail.

Zadni, i'm really sorry that i don't visit a lot of discussions every day here. I do my best, but at the end i can see that i had time only for my own and for not more than 10 responds for other topics
I have to clean my friends. Some of them post too much and fill my section with "friend's started" with so many in a row, that i just can't handle it.

HI Suggar!
I do not like it either. I really love to have such a long discussion but what I will received is a long answer.I do not mean to have a long answer but I really love t have such a long conversation or discussion between both party-the responder and the discussion starter.But it will ended like you said one question with one answer.Sometimes i hate that so much!

Assuming you are speaking of the numerous discussions which members make thinking that if they enter a new discussions and members respond they will get paid. This is the only reason I can come up with.
As if it were someone like me who has had no internet then I can not come back and respond however, I have the feeling you are speaking of the repeated members who list discussion after discussion and never come back to comment on their responses.
I personally do not get upset, but it makes me not want to respond to their discussions as it makes me feel like are they even reading the responses. I have noticed a few especially new members commenting back on their responses so I can see it picking up a bit. But there are many others non-new members still creating discussions and never commenting.
So all we can do is either respond or not as really how much more can we continue to tell them that they do not earn for what I type. Only for what they type.
I guess because a few members do comment back after my responses it does not get exhausting when the others do not, but I do have my days where it does make myLotting feel like a drag at times.

LOL suggar if they only understood that if they comment right away it keeps their discussion on the recent response board and not lost in the shuffle.
If they comment right away their discussion continues to flow. Sad that some will not listen but what can we do.

Thanks for sharing Hardworking, i respect the reasons of the others, the reasons can be different, so no problem for me if it happens sometimes, as you and Hatley said - we got our reasons. I sometimes also have delay when i comment back to my responders, it's not because of something bad.
New or old, actually i haven't seen the nicknames until now, just yesterday and today i picked few topics and responded to them, but as i can see - no result since yesterday and this morning, so i'm bit surprised. I try to avoid such kind of discussions too, because i feel unread, but actually we never know, if we are one of the first responders may be the member is waiting some more responds and to comment after all at once ... I'm still thinking...

Well I am new to my lot and i only started a few discussions I do read and reply to my discussions and the post of the people that interests me, I wanna earn but of course I also wanted to enjoy the world and its different point of view and opinions, communicating with people on the other side of the world is fun....

Yes ryoko, Suggar is correct keep up on posting your discussion and if I have ideas about your discussion count on my response. Still question here is why other are not responding in the response they receive in their discussion? are you in or out of this.... see you around

Just because the thread starter did not respond to your post means that they don't appreciate it. I am one of those who choose the best response but I don't respond or comment on each of the posts on my discussions. I know it's supposed to keep the thread lively, but sometimes I don't really have the time to respond to each one.

Well, sometimes it's like that. Especially you see those newbies, the ones with little number of posts. You can see they comment a lot but after we respond, they seldom or never say anything back. I think I can safely assume either they don't really have internet access or they're just plainly typing to increase their post rates & also pure intention of trying to make a quick buck

You're not alone on this one Suggar. I'm working on a really really big project in my company right now and I see myself talking to the device I'm working on sometimes. I keep repeating: "Please don't fail. Please don't fail." whenever I put the product on the testing area.

Don't post more discussions than you can handle and comment back on, as it really isn't a discussion unless we can comment back. Granted, there are some who can't comment back for one reason or another, but for those that can and don't well, they will find that they won't earn from others, as they only earn for what they do. I haven't started all that many discussions, but the ones I have started, I have commented back to all the responses I received. I have seen some who have posted one discussion after another, and just don't take the time to comment back, and besides that, they just can't handle them all, as they have posted way to many. I won't respond back to those that just post one discussion after another, as they are only there to make money, and not really learn a thing. That is not what mylot is about, as it is about learning not earning. I think when users understand that concept they will discuss as that is what mylot is about. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

True, it sounds little insulting, that's why i don't like that kind of posts, because they can be a joke, but they can say also "take a pill and you will calm down", which is not the right attitude for members, who doesn't insult you Or even if someone insult you, you can calm down and pass on ... that's what i do usually ....

Good day Suggar,
Yes,I know what you mean not getting response on the topic initiated by members in which you have post a comment.So the discussion stops there,if the member does not respond to your comment.Well maybe they don't know how this site works, members should be active in order to earn rewards.It's not just posting a topic to be discuss,there must be inter action between members who posted comments on a topic.Yu type you earn.Thanks for initiating this topic.

@visavis, Good evening:
Yes, you right my friend.Maybe its's time admin do something about it, imagine starting a discussion without looking back what you started.Maybe they think they earn more just by posting a topic to be discuss about.

Yeah it is common activities here in mylot after make discussion throw it like a trash, if there is a response never response back, because no money out there instead finding other with earning money. Little bit strange but happening here, so like I said in other response - response only to the discussion you like and if somebody response, response it back and you can earn attention and money... that is the trand here.. see you around

I earn money even if i don't receive comment from the poster, also there are many members who read every post before posting their own respond, so attention from the others i got enough, but looks like the poster doesn't pay attention to the efforts of his responders.

Yes that's why some of the oldest here never or very seldom to start discussion because they don't have time to response those like if there more than 50 responses. The mistake is from the original discussion stater, they should aware and consideration to response back to their responders until settle the case.. if they leave in the sky it is too bad... and felt what you felt now... see you around

I haven't got the same feeling since I'm still new here but it would be really nice if comments were directed to the responders personally. hehe! It means people are relating and connecting with our posts and understanding what we are trying to convey or discuss. have a nice day! =D

Very true Gelooo, it happens to me that way, that nearly same people respond in my discussions and i'm happy to know them more and more ... I remember lots of info they shared by their wish, just because of the topic and i believe that's what making us more close with each other.
Happy mylotting

I think I've been on this site for a while now to understand what you are feeling, and see the same thing with other myLot users. Although there are a few here that really participate in discussion, and exchanges of thoughts, there are even more who are just going through the motions of 'participating'. Which when you read their posts, doesn't really make sense. And is really like talking to a wall.
