Oh i mean to say i didnt qualify for best responses. Even sometimes im not good in responding than other members. So i prefer to start discussions always rather than responding to other discussions. As i cant give quality replies to any discussion i write what i think but still i dont know im writing related to that.. Can anybody tel me what i can i do other than responding. Shall i stop with starting discussions or how can i respond well. I had earned only 2best responses till now.

I really don't care much about the BRs cause I don't earn anything for getting the best response. I only concentrate on participating in discussions cause this is where the money comes in.
The best is to always check back on all the responses that you have left to further comment on it if someone has left you a comment in order to further the discussions. Who knows? Maybe once the discussion starter is satisfied with the answers he/she got, he may give you a best response for it.

May be we dont gain anything for getting best response but its just a gift awarded from the discussion starter. I want to give the best answer to discussion starter and i never mind if he gives best responses or not.

Hello naseemkum,
I'm exactly the opposite! I am a lousy discussion starter and I rather respond to others' discussions instead of starting new topics.
How did you come to the conclusion you're not good in responding? Is it because of the small number of BRs you got?
It doesn't matter if you earn the best response award into a discussion or not.
What matters is to feel good and to engage into pleasant discussions with your friends.
Responding doesn't mean only posting a single response. Follow the notifications from your inbox and go back to those discussions to comment back, furthering the discussion as much as you like.
Even when you start new topics, make sure you turn them into real discussions, by commenting back the responses you get.

Look, Naseemkum. I'm sure you have a favorite interest to discuss about. Try to post responses only into that interest for a while, until your reputation goes up. Stay away from the subjects you don't know much about. Make friends that have the same interest as you and participate into their discussions as well as they participate into yours. Your reputation will go up with your friends' help.

No i wont conclude by getting best responses but i had bad reputation points and my star value also low so i mean to say that im not good in responding to discussions. As im smart in responding back in my own discussions. But i want to say im not better in other members discussions.

Depending on how many (Or Few!) responses you get,there is only one possible best response to select from all..don't worry if it's you or not..Just answer how you feel,be it supplying facts,experiences,or opinions..the more complete or informative your response,the better your chances of gaining a best response-Good Luck!

You can see some responses on here that are nonsense or have nothing whatsoever to do with the subject that was posted... replies like that won't get the writer any goodwill...it doesn't matter if you have a little or a lot to contribute,as long as it adds to the discussion to make it interesting! If you don't agree with something,you can discuss that too...

I don't think you should worry about the best response tag. Just keep on answering but see that your response is relevant to the topic. If you are interested in earning then this is the place. Also put in your comments wherever you feel necessary.Merely posting topics and not commenting on responses received will not help you earn.

Hello Naseem,
Even i am also not good in responding to the discussions.
Only difference is i still try it and think i will get the sense to write on discussions through practice.I won't leave responding just because i did not get BRs more often.
Also i suggest you to practice more and more and one day you will be able to satisfy yourself.

Don't worry naseem when i reached 100 posts i had 4 star and with in a day or 2 it came down to 3 and it took almost 5 months to reach here on 9.
This is what i said is practice.MYLOT gave me the platform to communicate people and improve my writing style though i am not good in writing but thats for sure i have improved a lot in these 6 months.So i would suggest you to write on with the best quality you think and after few days you will reaslise that you have improved.
Secondly people here don't think much about language they see our thoughts and rate as per our thoughts at least i do it.

Hi naseemkum, just opposite and I spend most of my leisure time responding to friends or others discussions which I'm interested. It doesn't mean that I'm good in replying just because I don't have sufficient time to take care of my own discussions by commenting back to all the responses I have received.
I like to participate in topics which I have more to share with and never bother about whether my response is good enough to be rewarded. I just enjoy the fun of writing and expressing what I know and what I have experienced, etc only, and never care about the best response. I don't think it would be real fun if one just concentrates on whether the reply posted could be marked as best response every time typing here
Happy posting and have a nice day

I would like to write topic in aspect which I'm familiar with, so that I could manage to comment back without difficulty. I avoid to write discussion that I have knowledge. If not it would be really tough when commenting back. I dislike to skip any responses therefore start writing only things which we know well and could handle easily I'm glad that one of my old discussion had received 3 more new responses recently and of course I had commented back already I can see you do very well in commenting back in your, this discussion

I don't believe I enter any discussions with the aim of receiving the best response. I try to put my "best foot forward" each time I do respond. I figure as long as my response is the best I can do this really is okay with me.
Not receiving the best response doe not mean you are not doing well and or that it was not well received. There is only one option for a best response and it depends on the discussion starter and the type of discussion it is to determine which one is the best response. There are times that more then one could be thought of as the best response and although I do select one, I make sure to positively rate the ones that could also be deemed as best response.
I would not allow myself to deter myself from responding simply if I did not receive the best response. I am very satisfied with the quality participation I do here each day.
The best way to go about quality participation, is to simply enter discussions that interest you, this way you will find that you have plenty to say and or at times I do go online and research it a bit, so I have a full understanding of the topic, which enables me to give a quality response.

May be best responses wont decides u everything but quality responses wil gain u more. Next time the discussion starter should expect u to respond more in their discussions. I wil always respond to discussions with my interest. But when i feel that other members are replied good when compared to me its makes me sick to make more responses.

You should not stop starting or replying to discussion as it this is the way to qualify for "best reponses".
The only suggestion I can give is as follows:
- don't give up, continue what you're doing with discussions
To qualify for "besr responses". Discussions doesn't have to be long.
I recall someone who started a dicussion who asked some question a while ago and I replied with an answer containing one line and my comment got selected "Best response".
Quality does not depend how long is contains.
Understand that mylot isn't a contest.
Again, continue what doing you'r doing!

Yes but most of the times i had seen that best responses had awarded for long description replies so only mylot also asking everything to make comment as descriptive as possible. As sometime if the starter had gets his answer in ur one line he may give u best response. But i wont type one line word as my replies.

Simply starting discussions will not do. We have to give reply comments suitably. Do not worry about your responses being not selected as best response. I have received roughly 50 best responses only out of 2400+ responses made by me. That is fine. Do what best you can do on any topic. Motivate yourself. Motivate others. You will see your rating goes up.

I am pretty new here so I'm not an expert in this situation but I don't think it really matters that you don't get a lot of best responses. I would just keep trying and keep posting responses as well as starting discussions. If you start too many discussions you will have a hard time keeping up with commenting on people's responses and reading them all and since it is supposed to be a discussion you need to interact back and forth with the responses and not just post the discussion and not discuss the topic.
I have only received one best response so far and it was just today that I got the email telling me. It was pretty exciting to get it but it isn't the most important thing about the site. As long as you are liking the site and making a little money, isn't that what is important?

I know it comes and goes in spurts for me and I am approaching 5 yrs. here. All I can say is just find discussions that you are interested in, and respond back to them, and hope for the Best.

i don't have that much of best responses either, but one thing i hold onto is to believe and have confidence in your responses. As long as you have given the discussion topic some thought before you start writing a response, and you present your response in a logical way, there's no reason to think that your response is no good. In my belief, any response that adds value to a discussion, by either enlightening others about the topic or adding a different perspective to the issue, is a good response. Hope this gives you something to think about.

Just respond the way you know how, no one here will and ever judge you for you're english since it's not allow by mylot to judge every one's ability to write english in their post. and besides, what can you gain in gettiing the best responses anyways?
the important thing about posting a response is that you can relate at least, and if you don't, then that's the time you go for other discussion. Don't stop making discussions, but make sure you comment in every response that you make

You need not negate first your attempt to respond because this will only make you more uneasy to give what you want to express,elaborate,explain and whatever it is that you got or have in your mind. Do not mind if you will be given or not the best response, what is important is you are able to give your point of views. Your english is not that worse, for as long as we understand what you are saying then that is enough.If there is always that fear in you that you will be rejected then you will always be a loser in your willingness to be heard and understood. We have a friendly environment here in Mylot. Let it be your objective first to have more friends, then to earn and,to practice your learning in english. Remember, your words are the assurance that you can communicate well and so keep on going, mylotters are here to guide you and not to insult your way.
