No one suggesting me

I know that a few days ago I say that I didn't like to receive a lot of suggestions but, now, I seem to get NO suggestion from anyone. I think that today, the whole day, only a friend suggested something to me. And I used to have like 5 or 6 suggestions a day.
I don't mind see/reading the suggestions my friends send me, I just don't want that a person suggests me every single discussion they start.
Are you happy with the suggestions you are getting? Are they too much or too few?

It is now having the opposite effect with me. I did voice my opinion about not wanting to receive suggest posts. I have around 40 there unopened. But I think if they want to suggest me posts I hardly see anyone coming to my posts through 'people' and 'explore'

Suggestions are the best way to make your opinion heard through your friends.

@fufurinha Then what are those 'people' and 'explore' tabs for? There under discussions you get to see posts of your conhnections

Hahaha, well if you told people you don't like it, maybe that's why. But even if I said almost the same thing I still get them so I joined in the bandwagon. I'll send you some later. Might as well use it.
Oh wait, I think you're not on my followers list.

I don't like that people suggest ALL discussions. If everyone suggested one a day it would be fine

No problem, that is not too much. I had a friend that sent me like 3 or 4 a day! That was a bit tiring.

I seem to get a few here and there from a select few I am following. I respond to the ones that interest me. I don't usually suggest my own though unless it's getting absolutely no attention. I don't suggest anyone else's to anyone. If they see it then it is their choice to respond.

I do suggest my discussions, but I try to do it just once a day. I don't want to bore my friends.

At least the suggestions on here are way better than in real life. I always get told "I SUGGEST you put your pants on and get off my lawn", or, "I SUGGEST you quit eating boxes of pizza rolls for dinner."
These ones on MyLot are nicer lol

I appreciate each and every one they send me cause sometimes i have no time after returning notifications to go searching for a friend, the suggestion helps me find them and they get first responses..if i don't get suggestions i take longer breaks and may not ever see your discussions..

True, that is what happens with me. Because when I have a lot of notifications, I get tired of responding to everything. And, if I have suggestions, I will still see them. If I don't, I will probably leave myLot and do other stuff on my computer.

haha... you cannot underestimate suggestions for it is the process to remind us that our friends here have their discussions made during our absence or just purely to note us as maybe we could give a chance to interact into it and share our reactions, ideas or whatsoever. For sure, they will participate in yours when you are sending your suggestions :P

My suggestion feature doesn't work very well, not everyone appears so I can suggest, you are one that I tried to, but I just can't suggest anything.
I don't care beeing suggested, but I will probably see it when I look on what's new on discussions and what people that I am following were interacting.

I welcome all the suggestions for posts, which my dear friends recommend me. However, many a times, due to paucity of time I am not able to respond to each and every post and some of the posts are such that I cannot contribute much, then I skip the post.
I feel if a friend is suggesting me a post, s/he expects a response from me and I should not disappoint him/her.

I don't mind them to much, as I don't get a lot of them, just enough to keep me busy for a bit. Some of the suggestions I do receive are from people whose discussions I had already responded to. I just delete them and move on to ones that I haven't see yet. Now, I don't do all the suggestions, as some, I can't give and answer, so I just skip them and move on.

@fufurinha i do the ones that interest me, but yea, they do end up being suggestions. I don't do them as I had already responded to them, so I move on to the next one and so forth.

I am getting about 10-15 a day. Most of them I love being on them because I either admire the OP or even the OP has become a close friend of mine. Some of them from others are interesting. So I am on them too.
And of course, there are some where I have no clue about the discussion and even the OP is not that close to me (read, I dont feel that close to the OP yet), these are the ones I read and skip. Sorry Folks, I am that way - I cannot write "I have no Clue" or even "Great Post" kind of responses.

@fufurinha OP is a term usually referred to the Original Poster - the person who started the post/discussion.
And of course, as I mentioned on another discussion between us, I love to interact. and as such, the statements like "nice post", "thank you" and even "good point" dont come to me easily.

It sounds like your friends are doing what you asked of them. For me, it is too hard to remember who likes suggestions and who doesn't and who wants them on certain days, etc and who doesn't. I do try and remember but sometimes I may forget so if you happen to get one from me, I do apologize

I don't mind them, but when people suggest every.single.discussion they post it just makes me feel like not checking any of them at all. I get quite a lot. I see it like the "Share" option on Facebook and I don't share everything I read to everyone. So yeah I do think we have to be selective a bit about suggestions. Just my 2 cents.
Now let me see if I can suggest to you something.
