Do You Reply Back To EVERYONE On MyLot?

I enjoy it here and I don't want to have any MyLotters commenting on my posts and me not acknowledge them. So I respond back to every single person. Whether it be a comment in my post or them replying back to my comment in their post.
And I guess my OCD doesn't help either. I HAVE to respond back to everyone. Even if I don't have anything to say, I will at least "like" your posts.
Do you try to respond back to every single person who communicates with you or you aren't really bothered?

Yes, I do comment back to those that comment back to me, for the most part, as that is the logical thing to do. I don't comment back to the ones that just put emoticons, as there iis nothing to say to those. I wish that people would at least say someting than just put emoticons, as that to me isn't interaction. I don't like everyone either, only those that I comment back to. If they take the time to comment back to me, then I will comment back to them for sure, but it has to be a decent comment and mean something.

@VivaLaDani13 I don't either, even trhough I know that it is money for them, but I feel they reaslly didn't help me earn, so I won't hellp them earn either. I wish they would say someting instead of just emoticons, as that isn't right, as I took the time to respond to them, but all I got back was emoticons.

I know what you mean about the responses that only contain emoticons. I can't even reply back to those ones. :/

@VivaLaDani13 I usually try my best to respond, unless due to its nature it doesn't deserve one.

It is nice on your part to acknowledge each and every response/comment. This helps others draw towards your discussions.
If I start a discussion, I try my level best to post my comments on each response/comment. I know the user has spend some time responding to my post, so I must acknowledge the same.

@VivaLaDani13 - Yes, if you post your comments on the responses received, you are likely to attract more users to your posts.

@dpk262006 How does that work anyway? I have heard people say that but what exactly does that mean? Like when people keep commenting on my posts and responding on my posts, how does that attract more people?

Well having other people come to see my discussions is good but it's not just that. I would feel bad if I didn't respond back to those who used their time to say something to me.
That is very kind of you. :)

I do the same (it's what I'm doing right now ) on account of a) they're following ME, so Quid pro Quo ... fair's fair, and b) I hope they do/did the same when they see/saw MY profile.
My main exception is 'when I can see from their profile that they're only here to "make money"' (they only 'do Original Posts,' their profile is just a big sales-page). Or if I'm 'just not that into them (their kind of discussions, anyway)' that day

@mythociate lol no I actually understand what you mean. I don't really feel like communicating with people like that either. I like to talk to the true MyLotters. :)

When I first joined this site, I didn't really bother too much with responding to everyone who commented on my posts. Now that I've been here for a little while, and have become acclimated to the site, I feel more comfortable interacting with everyone. So, now, I do tend to reply back to everyone who comments on my posts, or I'll go to their posts and comment on theirs. Sometimes it takes me awhile to get through everyone, but eventually I do get back to everybody.

@VivaLaDani13 It's not too bad if I keep up with it, but if I have a couple of busy days at work, it leaves me very little time to get through all the comments. This past weekend, I had a lot of fun things planned that kept me busy on Saturday and Sunday, including the evenings, so I've gotten behind on responding. It was just today that I finally started to catch up!

@moffittjc You did good then catching up.
I woke up from a long sleep and had about 50 notifications. Can't imagine what it would be like after a few days of not coming on. Keeps us very busy though.

i try to respond back to everyone, relatively easy for me as i rarely start discussions.
If someone gets back to me on a response or comment i do look but if they'd made a bland comment i ignore it or if i think the discussion is at an end because they've not asked anything i leave them too.

Yeah I understand what you mean. It can be very hard to keep a conversation alive if it can't even escalate.

@VivaLaDani13 Very true, but I've had full on discussions, even going off topic in responses, and that's fine too so long as you and the respondent are on the same page and not taking over someone else's discussion.

I know what you mean. It can sometimes be hard to keep a conversation going. That's why I usually just end it by liking the last thing they said. Not much more that can be done.

I always do . . I think I did even more! Yesterday I commented and liked in about 2 dozen posts. My only post yesterday just got 7 comments and likes. But that's fine with me. It is better to give than to receive especially this time of the year! Merry Christmas!

Yepperz! I open the discussion and then go from top to bottom so no one is left. Sometimes notifications are missed. So I make sure that way that no one is missed by me.

I respond to every comment and even if someone just mentions that he liked my post I respond and say thanks in return. but ofcourse at times we read a post and find nothing comment, but even in that case I give a like to the post. Sometimes when I don't get a response on comment I do get disappointed but it's ok and I consider may be they are busy and have time issue.

Sadly enough not everyone can to that. I've seen quite a few people here who start a discussion and don't reply back to anyone. Then they make a new discussion, then another one and just don't say anything back ever.

well i am new here so i am not connected with too many people..but personally speaking its a good thing to reply to everyone so i respect you for that. It really shows your character and how you think about other people. And where as i am concerned i will definitely reply back to some one who is making effort to communicate with me.
