Posting questions and not checking back

There is a lot of this going on in Mylot. Also, many are not designating the best response to their discussions. I spend a lot of time reviewing responses, choosing the best one for the discussion, and rating the responses. It does take time, but I feel that if someone can post a response to my discussion, I can rate it and award the best response to the one I feel worthy. I try to leave a comment to each response, but when the discussion gets many responses (I have over 200 on one discussion), it is hard to keep up with them.

My guess is they post and just hope for responces to earn them their money.

Yes I have noticed this even with the change that was made in mylot rules this still continues. Some just keep putting up discussions but do not respond at all!

I check my responses, rate, and give best responses to people. I also respond to my friends discussions, in hopes they will respond to mine! I have most trouble keeping up with friends discussions, but I'm getting there!

Yes, i've noticed that myself. However, i always check back my discussions to see if there are any new replies and respond to them with a thanking line or a little comment where appropiate. It's a polite thing to do and a way to keep your discussion active. For now, i want to thank you for being so much active on my discussions. Take care!

i had selected my name Whitematter beacuse its the only place where you dont neeed for grey matter to eanr hence what is needed is just whitematter, i hope you all maylike the concept, isnt it?

well i regularly check the questions i,ve created but noone reply to them im dying to see if someone can answer by question http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/223377.aspx its a quiz but no one has been able to solve it as yet.

Yes I do, my thoughts are they make little money or don't really care about the questions their asking.

but i always make it a point to constantly check the discussions i have started and also report back on the responses i have got! that way u r adding so much more life to the discussion.it is worth every bit! Cheers!

Umh..... it's weird if some one open some thread and they never look it back But if posting like thi, it's almost imposible for me too see back my post. Too slow and if page already increased, it's hard to trackback my msg. So I never check it back unless I ask something

well u have so many topics to check... and also u are getting responce to ur every topic and u are having a lot of responces too... so its hard to comment to everyone... for me its just simple coz i,m not getting so much responces

I have seen similar discussions on other posts. Some don't make any comments after posting topic. Others pick best response after the first couple then no more. Then you have the extreme where someone continually just says thank you. I hope that one day soon there will become a solution that suits all. But human nature being what it is I doubt it. Some topic starters are clearly in it just for the cash.

not until i my response is reported as the best response beacuse the fact is that i post to so many discusion in a day, i think it the duty of the person who had started the discussion to chek that proper or usefull response has been there or not

I just do think it is quite diffcult for them to go back to that topic since they are busy posting on other threads... just enough for them to forget to chackback if someone really replied to their question...

I always go back to see what people have posted. And by adding comments, it puts your post back up for others to see.

Even with the changes on Mylot people are driven to increase the number of postings they do. Are they still being rewarded for this? I really don't know. For me it seems that I spend a lot of time making comments on the responses to my discussions and get so little for it. I get more for making responses. If we are indeed going to be paid for our work on Mylot, they need to be more specific as to how the earnings are calculated.

yes i do!! it's not very polite to do that..but then, they are merely following the guidelines, so it's not fair to call them that too LOL i will always try to comment on all my responses (except for those oneliners or responses that are totally unrelated to my discussions!)

I agree! Although I do check bak to posters who have responded to my questions. That's what we are here for, but I am really bad at checking back at questions I have answered. Many times, the original poster hasn't commented on my comment, so what's the point!

I notice that a lot, but never with you! I try to check on my discussions as soon as I log in and then before I log out. In between seems to be filled with checking my friends discussions and commenting in them. Sometimes I get to other interesting discussions usually involving my interests. Have a nice day margieanne!

I try so hard, and yet I can not keep up! It is horrible! I keep trying though, and hoping no feelings are hurt. You do fantastic though, I don't know how you do it. No wonder you're the top user of the day.
