it's been a habit of mine everytime i log in here, i go directly NO RESPONSE panel. i always love seeing my name first on the response list. it's a different feeling rather than seeing my comment at the last page of the responses in a post. infact, i see to it that i have thoughts ready and type fast so i can be the first one to reply. what's your side on this?

I go here, there and everywhere and have no preferences about being first to respond. Indeed if I choose to participate in a discussion that already has many responses, even pages of them, I will leave comments on those already posted while reading through them and before leaving my own.
Sometimes I purposely don't respond first because I am certain that my opinion is not the one that the user who started the topic was hoping to hear

hi diana and ungu I also jump all over and I do not think I have any set pattern but that I do not like to do many no responses as I have lost my responses on a
few that were deemed poll types then I understood wh no one else had responded.Sometimes the poll type violations are harder to spot too.
But I find that if a user whom I know pretty well is not getting responses
to check again carefully and aha it has broken a rule and senior mylotters
are wise and not do get caught in it at all. I saw one yesterday where the person was so happy for getting one hundred points and already had ten responses all names I did not know and it was a clear mile stone discussion. I just went on by.

:( That was probably mine. Yes, I was very excited when I finally hit 100. But MysDiana was kind enough to point out it was a violation. I didn't realize. But I do now!

I have looked at the "no responses" tab, but it is not easy to find a discussion that really appeals to me. There are some good discussions that appear there because as soon as you create a discussion it will be listed there, but there are also plenty of very uninspiring discussions that occupy the page.

that's true too but i really enjoyed looking at posts where my name is seen first on the responses. it brought me a feeling of some kind of fulfilment, racing to first replies perhaps.hahaha. thanks for dropping by here.

hahhaha. you're right. i have numerous deleted responses already since the posts i responded with violated some rules here. it's not that all the time that we are cautious about the rules.

I'm more a mail dependent it is easy for me to follow discussion on my friends and reply on the interest topics they had. I don't have worries if I'm on the least part who reply on them.

I do love my notifiers. I am not completely dependant on them but I usually use them to just know when someone responds on my comments in the threads. Otherwise I do use the tabs here on myLot more often.

i also tried that too but most instances, comments won't be noticed at all because of many responses. anyway, we can always comment back.

Hi,
I have to admit that I have the same "hobby" as you. I think you have written down what I thought. I always answer the topic from the "new" column, if I find over three people have answered the topic, I will give up, and go on looking for the new topic which has no answer.
Thanks for sharing, and have a nice day!

yes, it's a good feeling seeing our names first on the list.also, the owner of the post can easily read our comments and can be able to respond readily. with that, many conversations will follow.

actually, i don't ever bother about it, until u post about who is the first or last or what so ever number of your response. hahaha
i just choose basically on the title that catch me on it, if sometime that experience that i have. more on general topic.
i prefer to look that already have response, so i can read them and learn from them too. also i will leave comment too while i leave my own too.
sometime i just leave a comment on other response but not leave my own. hahaha

hi flagella08,
for me, i like to search for older discussions to respond to. like this discussion of yours, which is already posted about 3 months ago, but i just managed to dig out and replied.

I don't really care whether I will be getting response from someone from last discussion, or I have to post new discussion. I just trying my best to do my job, and I would continue to post again and again. I am contribute my part in mylot and I would do my job as best as I can to earn some money from it. Anyway, I secretly hope more people would read my discussions and post comments on it too.

If you comment back to them then they might. However you keep completely ignoring any responses that your topics receive and that is why you will receive fewer and fewer responses.
We come here to DISCUSS but we can't do that if we get no comment from the user who starts the topic

Wow!!! nice check no response link and respond on it. But I never check this link even not check hot topic, top topic. Notice only recent discussions even with response or without response no matter.

Hi,
I only go to mylot digest in my email, new, recent, started and responded panels. But generally I only respond to discussions that appeals to me. I don't mind wether I'm the first or last, sometimes there are some discussions that I like to respond but as I read the other responses I find opinions/answers similar to mine so I chose not to respond anymore.

forgot to add. if i know that member always interacts with all of their responders, and i'm sure their discussion is not a guideline violation, i will still respond even if i'm on page 3 or 4 because i know, eventually, they will answer me.

hi chrisaiks its okay to help no responses if you know the response has
not broken any mylot rules.at times older users will not respond to no
responses as they know they have broken a r le or two.Why waste your
time and earnings on something thats just going to be deleted?.

Hiya! I used to be that too. That was back when I was still studying and I had a lot of free time in between classes and weekends. Whenever I myLot, I would answer the discussions on the "No Responses" page either but I go back to page 10 or even older. There was a time when I wanted to be the first to respond to any new discussion but over time I thought it would be nice to help decrease the amount of discussions that have no responses at all and they were created months or days ago.
It's just that I know the feeling when I first created a discussion and it did not get any responses at all. When that first discussion finally got a response from a new friend I felt very grateful to him. So after that I thought of paying it forward and help those that doesnt have any responses yet.
Also that way you're sure that you'd be the first responder when that old discussion gained other responses because of you
Happy mylotting!

I usually respond any discussion from notification in my email so you can said I am the person who love friend started discussion, after finish answering my friend discussion that's I find interesting I will go to hot discussion or today top.
But I think anyone who got your response will be appreciated what you did, I think first response always feel special to any discussion. Today I will try your style in answering discussion and see how its work.

Each one of us have different style in myLotting. What I do first is check the recent discussions and respond to topics that interests me. Then, I do check discussions made by my friends and respond in there too.
I haven't had the chance to check the topics with no response. I will chek in there now after posting this.

I have a rather different habit than yours when I participate in Mylot discussions. I have never went to the no response category before as I think that there is a reason that the discussion would have no response at all. Some of them might have been not interesting while some might have been to complicated to understand. I always go to the recent category and participate there. There, I will be able to find many discussions that had just been participated not too long ago. If other can participate in these discussion, I should be able to participate as well. I find myself addicted to that category now.

I hope those you respond to will appreciate those first replies. Sometimes you will find one or two in that tab that haven't been responded to in awhile.
