Why they did not comment back?

I kept looking at each discussion and I saw there were a lot of responses that were not replied by them. I did not expect them to reply to my comments from their discussion and there are no such rules that mention clearly about it, but I just thought it was not fair for them who gave comments without getting the response. So, I suggested them to comment back to responder and it did not waste your time. Okay

In order for it to be a proper discussion both parties have to participate, certainly you wouldn't ask a friend a question and then not participate in the conversation my lot is supposed to work the same way. When we post a discussion we are supposed to participate in it unfortunately it doesn't always work this way. If this is the kind of discussion you seek I propose that you add friends that you see take the time to comment on their responses and then you can choose to participate with these people. Also just a friendly reminder to those who only post discussions for the earnings, you only get paid when you are the one writing, it does not matter if you get 100 responses to your discussion because you are not paid for those responses the people making them are, if you take the time to comment on your responses you will make more money, it is really rather simple when you are typing you are earning when I am typing I am earning so posting a discussion and then just ignoring the responses doesn't really help anyone including you

I did not agree with the part you're saying that we are not paid by response. I knew people came here for the reason of money not for friends. You sounded good to be true. I think this website is not only designed to make money but also to socialize while making money.

@curmont: ",..if you take the time to comment on your responses you will make more money.." I thought one is paid for commenting on the responses received on their discussion? The guidelines say so. It's a different matter that I do respond to comments received on my discussion, but just saying! Responding to comment is also not counted as comment [the no. of comments against a name doesn't go up]. Likewise, the response to your comment I'm making now-I'm not sure if it adds to either the comment or to earning.
As for me-to be honest, I try to do both here: be responsive and earn.

@pushhyarag while you are correct that comments do not count towards the number listed next to our name it is still considered participation and we are paid for that. The reason it does not effect our number is because that number reflects not how many posts you have made but rather the number of discussions you have participated in adding a comment to a discussion that you are already a part of does not change your total number of discussions so the number does not change.
@sijabatnaburjut that is exactly what this sit is meant for, I just personally think some people get too caught up in the earnings portion of this site and tend to miss that point. As for your comment about getting paid for responses, you are not directly paid for the responses other people post, it does however add to the quality of your discussion and as you know we are paid for quality not quantity here on my lot. You will earn more for a quality discussion with alot of responses but you are being rewarded for your ability to start an interesting discussion not for the responses actually posted by other users.

If the person who starts a discussion is not posting reply comments he will not get earnings. People who post responses they may get paid. But the initiator will not get money. This is known to the people. Still they do not respond because they have something else more important than this and they can earn more money.
Some people collect responses and they will post reply comments whenever they have leisure time.

I was rather confused with comments received that some said to comment back didn't influence our rating and earning as well. I think it's clear for me there is not such saying that to comment back is waste of time in replying their comment back as you knew that replying comment back is my favorite part and I always kept waiting comment from the discussion I have started.
Good Day To You too.

Our seniors use to explain this nicely. You type you earn. I type and I will earn. So give varied comments for the responses received and it may be appreciated by our friends. good day.

hi sijabatnaburjut I think a lot of people here are just bone lazy and want to make a ton of money without doing any thing such as writing a comment as they should. its really not a discussion if
nobody ever comments back to the responders. why make a discussion if you are not willing to keep it working as a discussion. for one thing so many say they really are just here for the money.well then they should learn that it pays really well to comment back on all the response you get. to me its also very rude not to comment back as these people gave of their time and energy to respond to you so reward them and also make a discussion unfold and come to
life.

Yeah, I really agree with you. I also didn't feel nice if I did not comment back on people who responded to my discussion. I think that we have to think of giving the response sooner we've finished making or writing a post.

I always try to respond back to all the comments I get. But, sometimes I'm confused, to comment on the back. Because, there are a few responses, whose comments about the same. But, I try my best to respond to all the responses I received on my discussion.

Yeah, I found out that you always responded your responder. It's not nice or rude to obey their comment for me. This is a good site and it's too selfish our reason join is only about money. Thank you

It is like conversation. To comment back on their opinion or ideas means that we appreciate them much.

Yeah. I was sure they were expecting an answer for their comment. This condition pushed me to comment them back. That's why I always checked back my discussion and made sure that every responder got their feedback from me.
