How will you react if somebody butts in your discussion?

For me, the more the merrier Maybe a user is shy as they have just started. Maybe they feel intimidated by the huge numbers that some Lotters have and are afraid to say more. I acknowledge everything on my posts and have got into longer conversations later with those who only left a short comment or a smiley first time round.

I would interact with that person to. They agreed with what was said.

I just interact, perhaps they are not butting in but only wants to join in the conversation cause it's relevant to them.

I am upset when I see this kind of comments that bring nothing to the discussions. I ignore them, or even delete them.

ha ha, it always happen, here in mylot or even in our personal activity. There's are lot of people who just butt in as if they were welcome in the discussion. But in here... just ignore it, maybe they just need more activity, we say that in Tagalog "dala ng matinding pangangailangan" (in need most)

I would interact and ask more questions regarding what is cool in the discussion.

Usually I would just ignore most of these. I think sometimes I do not like the emoji's at all.

I would interact if I have time. :) More the merrier ..kinda..

If all they said was "yes", "right", or "cool", I'd most likely ignore it. That kind of answer, regardless of the circumstance, is against guidelines here. I might even report it, but in this circumstance I'd be more inclined to ignore it.

I would give them the benefit of the doubt and interact with them as courteously as I would any of my other responders.

Awkward, awkward, awkward.

I think it's ok and may put extra money in our bank.

Yes I would interact with them.

@ridingbet you should welcome all types of comments BUT irrelevant comments should be discouraged in good way to other mylotters.let them know,so they can improve did i use but*???hahhha. joke apart,good topic

I would definitely interact with that person as well.

I would ignore him if he didn't mention my name. He could be meaning it for the other person anyway.

Well, I have been known to insert myself into ongoing discussions... you may remember how we met, Ingrid? (grinning at you!) I actually tried to talk to one person who kept butting into discussions but wouldn't reply to me. I finally ask him to quit talking in my discussions all together.

I don't understand. Are you saying that only people you pick should answer your discussions? You can't pick and choose on a discussion forum. Am I wrong for interacting since I don't know you?

First, if it's done by someone I'm not familiar with i might look at their profile first and see whether they respond in that manner all the time or here and there. Also, how long they've been with the site or how active they've been in the last year may let you know what they may or may not know. I do know that mylot was run a bit differently in the past before it was closed around 2013, so for some that were here many years back but returned more recently they many not know what's expected of them on this newer mylot. Each of us here may handle the same types of comments in completely different ways.

you can interact and remind them about the rules, or even, try to clarify what the comment was all about. im sure that they'll soon develop an attitude for learning and being prudent when posting comments.
