No Body Gives Best Response..!

Hiya sincere, If someone gives me a best response I usually try to give them an even better response in return sort of mutual exchange. Going the whole of the time on here without a best response would not bother me much as I see a lot of others that give some really great answers but perhaps they posted after the best response was given already again it does not bother me in that way at all. Am thankful when I do get one and very pleased as well but I often see others more deserving than me as well so they will surely get a best response sometime or another I hope so.xxx

Hi there sincere4frdship!! Well I guess your right that it is quite unfair, but I think those people who do that doesn't know the real meaning of participating in this kind of community.I wonder if they still also find joy in joining into discussions. For me it doesn't matter if I get the best response or not.What matters most is the fact that I willingly spend time and effort in responding into someones discussion to help and inform them in the way that I can.I don't expect anything in return becoz by joining here in mylot I am also benefited becoz I am having a chance to improve my grammar and my english skills.

Hello there, I am not a person to give away the BR so quickly. I take my own time to analyze the responses to give the same to the most deserving person. Many times I felt difficult to select a BR as I am getting many good responses. In that case I may consider minute points to select the BR but never consider like the person is close to me etc. I am giving importance to the quality of the content only. Getting a BR definitely makes me happy and at the same time if I am not the recipient, I don’t feel bad either. I felt bad once, where the starter given the BR to a person who copied matter from different sites, I agree that response was useful for the starter but plagiarism is not allowing in mylot. However, selecting a BR is the right of the starter of the topic only nobody can question it.

Just be a bit patient. Everyone gives best responses to their discussions. Atleast most do. It takes some time for some to give the best resposes for some. I am a bit late but it will happen sometime. I will not keep this pending for long.

I expected too much getting the best response from the others. If I was not mistaken, I had been bringing this topic once. I saw there were many user not responsive while we have given our best comment on their discussion. I thought also some of our users were not familiar with new topic like I ever felt too before. English is foreign language and hard for me to get the meaning of someone topic, but I tried to understand that I didn't understand the subject as well.

I have to admit that this is something I do not put a large notice to. I think I am doing this from thoughts I've had that is I do not want to be hurt. I got a ten star and it made me feel so good and I was encouraged but then it dropped back to 9 and felt lousy. Just imagine if it dropped down to a low number. So it is a protective measure I think that I want to put those ratings in the backroom and just concentrate on what I write. Best response is something I like to see like anyone else but I am lame when it comes to using the points system as much as maybe I should - maybe I'm wrong to think this way?

You really shouldn't worry so much about getting a best response out of your posting here..It's the participation and interaction that's most important,not the keeping score as to how many times you get the award..that way,it'll be more of a pleasant surprise when you do get one,rather than assuming the worst when you don't..just keep responding,and eventually it'll happen...

They don't? Are you sure about that? It's been my experience that people on here do give best responses. Maybe not all, but a lot of them. I also saw from your profile that you do have some best responses, so I don't know why you're saying that you haven't been awarded any? Anyway, I see that your ranking (the number next to your username) is on the low side for the number of years that you've been here. Try being more active and maybe you'll be awarded more BR. Just don't expect it to happen overnight. These things take time. And don't get discouraged if you don't get anymore than what you already have. Getting BR isn't everything, after all! Good luck and happy mylotting!

Best response should be given to the deserving response and should not be influenced by friends factor. I've got tons of BR from people who aren't in my friend's list and I believe my responses strike the right answers to what they were looking for.

Its not mandatory to give a best response everytime.Yes, it is certainly good if people give a best response and appreciate what you have written.I too have written good posts and have sometimes received the best response and many times not.But it does not disturb me nor do i feel bad about it.Lord Krishna has said" do your duty without having any expectations" in the Bhagwad Gita.When you do not expect anything from anybody then you will not feel bad and will always remain in a good frame of mind whether you are in joy or sorrow.Think about it.

The best response is a very subjective thing. What one person deems "best" another might not. It is great that you try to have good content in your responses, and sometimes that is what a person might deem as best. Another person might deem a response where the person keeps coming back and furthering the topic and keeps the discussion active as the best, even if his or her initial response might not have been the most informative one. Another person might choose a response that makes him or her laugh, because maybe that is what he or she needed at the time. Therefore, the most we can do is to respond to the discussion in the way that we think is the best and hope that it helps. Of course, it is nice to get awarded the honor of best responses, because it shows that our interactions are appreciated, but it is not necessary nor is it the only way for people to show that they appreciate our comments/responses/interactions.

Well, my friend i do give my BR mark to the really deserving ones in my discussions. But then, usually i would give it only if at least the respondents are 10 or above. If not, it would wait until it have gathered more. But sometimes, i would also give the BR mark, if my discussions have not gotten any additional responses anymore after how many months. Thus, i will choose the Best Response.

i've had a few best responses. for which i am very grateful. i find that they come when i have really listened to what the discussion was about and tried to engage with whatever the subject, and what the person posting the discussion, was saying. maybe you need to try really hard at connecting with the discussion's you join in, by really thinking about what you say, and then i think you will begin to get best responses again. maybe having an argument with someone, when you disagreed with them, has made you too cautious, and now you don't want to offend anyone, so you don't connect as well. its not nice to have a disagreement, but it happens sometimes, so if you move on from that, and forget about it, then maybe you will post the sort of meaningful responses that tend to get best responses.

Just give your best responses, and one day a blessing will come! Honestly I am not after with best responses because I know that they can give better response than I do! And if somebody would give it to me without asking for it then it will be an achievement! Just be patient and keep up the good work!

Hi Sincere4frdship, I really think that you are wrong in your thinking here. I mean, there may be some you choose BR like that but I don't think that a majority of us do. It really doesn't mean that your response wasn't good but maybe others were also very good. It isn't always easy to choose when you have many good responses. You have been here for 6 yrs and considering that, you really haven't been all that active and you have gotten 8 BRs so that's really not bad.

Oh i rarely give best response because more often there are more than one responses that i know deserve it so to be fair, i would rather not give it.

Don't sweat it. I came from Yahoo Answers where people were people fought about such things because it was all about getting points and climbing up the ladder as top contributor or leader of a category. The best answer chosen was never necessarily the best or right answer - and I say that because I came from a "technical" category. I left as it was getting so ridiculous - people would get bent out of shape and there were ways to become trolls to taunt other answerers. I'm glad I found myLot because it's all about sharing our thoughts - it's not about "winning" (except maybe your own earnings??) - the attitude here seems to be mostly mutual - I don't find mean people here too often. It's not a contest, so don't worry about not getting best response - at least you give an honest comments and I'm sure it's appreciated. Sometimes there are many "best" responses and it's too hard to choose from. And from my end . . . well, I'm actually lazy about GIVING best response . . . and for no reason - I just normally do not give it.

Yes no body give me best response. I response on more 1000 discussions but still I not got best response. But I am not sad because I know my english is weak. Not bad point but strong point because positive thinking is must in life.

I don't think so and don't believe the best responses are given to known friends. It is the right of everyone how they select the best response on their discussion. Just try to be patient, sometimes no matter how you think your response is good... there will be others too who will come up with a much better response than you gave. I am not focusing much about that - I am thankful whenever my responses was marked the best response but I don't feel sad as well if my response wasn;t considered the best. B

You can't please everybody, it is an old proverbs. I know what you feel, I know where it is coming from. But, we can not control people's mind. Most of the time, some are not sensitive much about this.
