Choosing a Best Response

You have adopted a good strategy and I would follow it.I have yet to resolve some of my previous discussions that had attracted some quality responses.I tried to choose one of them as the best response,but failed to decide which one of them deserves it. One thing,I think,choosing a best response in each discussion that I have initiated is something that I feel I must do.After all,all the respondents have put in their time and labor to respond to my discussions and it is my duty to honor their labor.

Thank you for the compliments. Yes, I too feel that we should honor the right person with a BR. When I receive a BR, I really find it inspiring and I make a lot more good responses on that day. It brings a smile on my face instantly when I have a notification telling that I have got a best response. That is the main reason I give others too. The person whom I will be honoring it will also get it and I am happy that I could bring that one smile on their face for all their effort and time taken to respond to my discussions.

Exactly.That's what I feel.Some initiators of discussions have kindly given me BR,and I can't tell you how I felt then.It was a very positive feedback to my performance here.Indeed a morale boosing experience.Isn't it?

I have that too, there is this one person who put up a really good comment under another responders box. I'd like to give that person best response because they typed in the awesome comment but the awesome comment is under another person's name. I'm not sure where yo put the best response tag.

Then that person must have tesponded to your discussion.Has he?Give him the BR.I may be wrong,but may be any veteran can help you solve your problem.I have never been in such a situation.

I can understand.If a discusion attracts more than 25 or 30 responses,then it becomes really very difficult to reread all of them and then select one that we think is the best one.We are not paid for giving BR,so we generally wait for time to give one of them BR.But at the same time I feel it is my duty to do this work for I want to honor the time and labor the respondents of my post have put in attending it.

But don't you think that you can show your respect to others' opinions,their labor and time they have invested in responding to your post?Although giving BR is not mandatory here,but certainly if you do so,then it shows your honor to otherss' labor.That's why there is a button to mark the best response over each response.Clearly Mylot expects us to choose a best response.Am I wrong?

But how long will you keep waiting?A time comes when You feel that nobody else is going to respond to your post.After getting a few responses,wait for a day or two,and if no other response comes,choose the one of the available responses and give it the BR.It is my suggestion.

Yes,Nursefrai,now I have realized that giving someone BR is not mandatory,but besides making someone happy,it is indicative of the honor you give to your respondents' labor and time they have put in responding to your post.

I agree with you.If you give someone who has responded to your post a BR,then obviously you are giving him a kind of importance,a kind of recognition,and that's what matters.When we get BR,we too feel the same.My problem is that if any of my discussions attracts a considerable number of responses,say,20 or more than that,then choosing one of them as the best response becomes difficult for me.Lack of time,an urge to participate in discussions,adding comments to my responses to other discussions-there is a lot waiting for me to be done and within a short time.My last discussion has received 47 responses.I want to choose one of them as the BR,but time at my disposal is limited.I want,whole heartedly want to honor the labor of my respondents,but let me see how soon can I be able to do it. I agree with you.You are absolutely right.

I honor the labor of all the respondents of my post who have put in their time and labor to respond to my discussions,but problem arises when any of my discussion attracts a good number of responses.I lack time,so it is difficult to choose one of them as the best response.
