Do you respond to all the posts in a discussion that you have started?

if you two want to get any responses you should not be rude and skio over people as they do not have to respond to your next discussion at all. after all we spend time too to respond to your discussion so its rather unfair to skip us just because of time. plan it out so you have time to comment to all who bother to respond to you.We do not have to at all you know and I for one get sick of not being commented back on. I will remember the users and not go back to them at all. Why should I waste my time on people who do not give a damn as to what I wrote on their discussion?

The thing is, one shouldn't feel disappointed, hating or putting the blame of the person who made the discussion if they can't make any chance to reply your comment back, because in the very first place no one is forcing, begging or asking someone or whatever you may call it...it is our choice and will that we wind up answering their post, so expectless and don't take things personally.

I have seen some people in certain discussions who Repost the comments that other users have made With a small alteration thinking that it is gonna fetch Them money pretty easily...i hardly read such posts and I Think we have the same outlook towards that kind of people.. i certainly Agree that one cannot spend all their time in front Of Pc.. So maybe it calls for effective time management.. thanks for your opinion..

It's okay don't pressure yourself. Just be sure that if you come online the next day you can reply back to them. We all have different time zones so that would be understandable.

That is the first thing on my list..everyday when I log in,I Go to the discussions that I started and then try to answer All those who have posted there...

Hey you are not the only one.. I too stayed away a couple of Days to look around and find out what to post.. But then, since we have such a friendly community, I figured that it does not matter what I post as long As it fits the discussion and also the guidelines... I have had a happy time so far...but worried of whether I will be able to respond to discussions on time..

It is never to late to respond to a comment. Although I don't do it often sometimes I don't respond for weeks. At least you are responding! Happy mylotting!

I do the same..respond to those that can be done Right thereand then come back for the rest.. But the others are gonna think that I ignored their Posts...

Well that is not the thing..if you don't answer the posts made in your discussion within two or three days, Most of them are gonna think that the discussion starter Did it for the sole purpose of gaining money Easily rather than wanting to actually share ideas...

shskumbla look theres no harm in that,I have an Indian friend here who tells me when she does nmot understand my american discussion and I explain it to her so it makes sense. just ask the discussion maker to explain as you are Indian and do not understand some of our expressions.mos all mylotters are willing to help you understand their own discussions. we want all our friends here to know what the heck we are talking about. Our abbreviations even sometimes catch other Americans and they say what did you mean by that abbreviation. so ask shskumbla as we will not get angry at all. lol

Hey I am also an indian...i agree with you that at times I find it hard to reply to someones discussion if I cannot Understand what they are trying to convey... Sometimes their english maybe quite hard to understand But hey, all of us are from different parts of the World so it is quite understandable... What I do is I will ask them to explain It to me so that I can post my response to them..

hi mohkanari I do the same thing as I want time to comment back on all the responses I get too.

I think I will do like you are doing.... Finish answering ask those posts in mine and then move On to make a new discussion if I get time...

I agree with you totally...but the thing is that there may be too many posts that i wont get time to respond to all of them because I have to respond to other discussions and also check out the new topics... I do want to contribute more and thank them for their effort...

go read the guidelins saying thanks is not paid for read this for yourseld admins says do not thank people as we will NOT pay for\thanks . so they want instead feedback to each response so if you only have so much time do some of the comments each day then go on to respond to others discussions. they do not have to be done all in one day but do get to comment on all our responses as we responded to you to get this discussion started. If I at 85 can take time to comment back to say sixty responses over a period of four or five days,surely you can spare enough time to do what you can each day you are here. if you want us to respond we must get some feedback because there's no law here that says I have to respond to someone who never ever comments back on my response. there are plenty of other discussions I can respond to where the maker will comment back. if you do not have time to further your discussions then stick to just responding to our discussions instead. Its rude to not comment back and please not with thanks but with a valid comment.

Hey I don't Thank them to get Paid.. I just think that it would be nice to end my Response by thanking them... yes I do have the Responsibility to respond to all their posts As it is the only way to tell them that I am interested in their response and then maybe They will feel like responding to more of my Discussions... Besides you get a lot more time when you are 85(no offence) than when you are 16...

It is a nice way to show them that you accept their views and that you appreciate the effort Made by them to improve your discussion..

Thanks... This is something that has worried me for the couple of Days..yes I think you have a point when you said about Showing them a courtesy of a response... But you have to also note that it maybe hard for A discussion starter to be online all the time do that He can answer all the posts made... I think I will limit my posts so that I will get time to Answer them all and still check out other discussions... Have a great day...

Hey sorry about the last part..i was trying to type ' interesting' from my mobile using a swype keyboard but ended Up typing ' inbreeding' I hope you will forgive me for that and not harbour any grudge against me...

I will recheck before posting from my mobile.. Thanks for the support..i actually reported it to the Mylot moderators myself and asked them to delete That post..

I make an effort to respond back to them, except for the ones that I clearly can't say anything to... we earn by responding so if I can answer all I will. I don't make so many discussions that I can't keep up with them.

Yeah you have to be selective in responding to the posts..Otherwise you are gonna end up wasting your time...

Many members here are just like you. they don't have enough time but they like to start a few new discussions.I wonder how they manage and deal with the responds as people here are sensitive when it comes to starter who don't like to reply back. It is better for those who don't have enough time to just write comments in other discussions but it will be a problem for those who don not have ideas on how to respond different topics or they found the topic boring. So instead writing a comments to others they start their own discussions and become selective when it comes to replying the comments they have. You may choose any ways that you find suitable to you. But honestly just for me and myself, I would rather reply to all of them and only then I will start with a new one. It is a little funny to know that as a discussion starter we can find time to write comments and reply in our NEW discussions but we can't reply fully to everyone in our OLD discussions.(^^)

Whenever i start a discussion, I look at all the people who have participated in it...After that if I feel that i have enough time in my hands,I start answering from the person with the maximum number of posts or the better rated or both... It is so because I think that those people are more experienced and may have better ideas to share than the new persons..They may even come back to respond to my comments thereby making the discussion active...Later i do come back and answer all the other posts...

Making discussion active is not my take. I just seek my answer. But yeah I do love to participate in any active discussion like this. Also I don't feel like starting discussions always, I start any topic when I need answers.

Whenever I post a discussion,i hope that I get time to respond to everyone who respond to my discussion... Even if there are only a few posts,i try to make that discussion active by responding ... But like you I am least bothered about what spammers do in the discussions.. I surely hope t that I can post more and make the discussions more active...

Yeah it is beneficial for both the discussion starter and the ones who have answered the Discussion as they get to share their views (which maybe quite different And contradictory ) and learn to accept each other... I feel mylot is the best place where you can find people varying in terms of everything... But taking time to read and acknowledge their posts can sure bridge The difference no matter who you are or where you are from..

I do find it difficult in those situations to post anything as a response.. All i can tell them is that i agree and thanks and just hope that they might respond with something good in the next few discussions...

I agree with the fact that it is easier to comment on the responses that a person receives to their post rather than finding other topics and answering them... Joining this website has been a very pleasurable experience for me since i got to know people with ideas and views totally different from what i have...I try to learn my mistakes from all the negative feedback that i got and better my posts each time... I am happy about the fact that people are responding to my discussions even though I am a newbie and may not be too familiar about how to make a discussion work... I do put in thoughts if people already shared the same point that i wanted to share...I try to do it in a much better way,more relevant to the topic... Hope i will be able to spend more time to get along with my fellow mylotters... Have a good day...

Actions show it better than words right???I do agree with your response.. If you keep the discussion alive by responding to the others posts,They are gonna feel happy about it and maybe come back to participate in the later discussions that you start...

You are forgetting something..If you keep responding to the posts that others have made in your discussion,it is soon gonna become a hot discussion... Besides, coming back to respond to your old discussions doesn't take away much of your time if you are wise in planning..

I don't think that the people who have put in a lot of work to make a post that increases the value of your discussion and brings something with content into the discussion just needs to be thanked..You gotta say something in response and acknowledge their work...

I would ask them to post something related to the topic than leave their posts without response...They might consider posting something of value in the next discussions i make...

I think others have made that point clear..I hope to spend more time to be able to respond to them all.. Maybe if you make discussions that are worthy of getting good responses,you will be getting a lot of replies... Happy mylotting...
