One line responses

I agree it is very aggravating. Actually the quidelines page of Mylot say not to respond to each and every reponse to a topic with just a thank you. It also says to give more then a one word response when responding. Now for my own discussions I may not respond to each and every poster but when I do respond it's to actually comment on what they said and either ask them to explain more, defend what I stated (especially if they posted in disagreement of it) or to agree with them. I always rate responders no matter what.

It annoys me most of the time but not all the time. Because whenever I'm in a hurry and respond then I do it too so I can't blame anyone else of doing this. But I think that one should respond properly in order to keep the discussion alive and that people get the most out of it. I try to respond with the right answers not just to increase my earnings as you can see from my (98) replies I have recently joined myLot but believe I'm really enjoying all the discussions that people start here. I'm also sorry that you get those one-line responses but try to look from other people's angles maybe they're in a hurry, would like to be apart of the discussion or like you said just want to earn :) who knows.

I do understand your annoyance but the truth is most people just want to increase their earnings, as such there is often no intent to 'discuss' anything. I have had a few topics glossed over with simple responses also. Anyway, I am sure you will have good responses from time to time so enjoy them when they do come:-)

I have been here long enough I guess that I do not let it get to me. I try to get back to all my discussions and well sometimes I do say just thanks for the response but then again the answers I get from some of the discussions I have started really do give me anything to work with so I figured thanks for the response is better than nothing. Don't let it get to you. Build your friend list and work with people that you have things in common with or someone that you figure will have a good discussion with you.

Sometimes a "thank you" is all it takes, other times we have more things to say. I think it all depends on the situation. Take my discussion on bravery, that I started. I want to aknowledge everyone, and I've only gotten great responses, but I have more to say to some than to others, simply because of the nature of their responses. It's NOT personal!

Am I talking to that big boy or the tiny tot shown in the photo ? Anyway, let the big boy read me ! Responses, in my view will depend mostly on the type of subject that you are focussing on for the readers to reply. If you give abstract subjects as in the present case, you suerly will have to satisfy yourself with short replies. If you take some politics, religious or such interesting topics, I feel you may get thunder of a response. Anyway, what is the name of that little tiny tot beside you ?

it annoys me too...I don't post thank yous when I get responses to my discussions, I just go and respond to a few of their discussions...I'll tell you what really bothers me though..the people who post in discussions and have no idea what the topic is or what its about..they say something like "what is ____" or "no I don't do that"..those really piss me off..

I try to respond with more than just thanks for your response but it gets hard to keep up with you discussion when you start getting tons of responses.

See if someone is responding back to you by yes or no ....it doesnt mean that they are not getting involved in the discussions deeper.It means that they have understood what all is there in your discussion. If you want to really want to get in a deeper discussion then it totally depends on you how you present yourself.

I totally agree with you. I joined mylot because I am interesting to make conversation with other peoples here. and I find out some information here and maybe I will get a good news from here. I may not response to every poster if that discussion not interesting for me. the point is I trying to get earning and information from my lot.

yes I understand what you are saying by people responding with only one line no I do not think it is a good response at all maybe these people cannot think enough to put any good response to your discussion, and I agree with what you are saying here.

I do rate all posts where the author has taken time to write a decent reply ... and I do always award a 'best response' mylot does say that this is a discussion site … where folks can debate and discuss topics … however it's been set up to only reward (pay) the first post a person makes in any discussion… so there is no incentive for anyone to continue the discussion past the first post ... which is a bit sad really as I would like to go back and get a bit deeper into some discussions but I know no one else will be making further replies if they are not getting paid for doing so… I'm afraid I haven't been over eager in writeing more than a Thankyou to each and every poster for their posting either … but I do try to leave a thankyou for every reply even if it means going back through a few days postings. as again we dont get paid for going back and doing this. but to be honest there are so many discussions which i now have to go back and thank, there are simply just not enough hours in my day… so what am I to do - write more than a thankyou and not get paid ot reply to other people and earn a few $$ ?

I agree that this is annoying, more annoying is the posts that some of the ppl make here... one liners are better than those!!!

ya like you said i also prefer response with detailed discussion.. i addition to making money we enjoy the onversation really .. ifferent continent contries can argue express and applaud..

it does annoy me, but with more time here you will find the deeper conversations and better discussions, you wont simply find them over night. Give Mylot more time, believe me, had you joined 2 months ago you would have been disgusted at all the spam with single word answers and people just trying to get higher responses with stupid topics, and the only comments to responses if any were "thanks" just give it more time, and look for some of the good discussions, it helps to add people to your friends who have good discussions and to add your interests that way you can find topics that interest you.

I see nothing wrong with wanting more of a response or comment. I have had many of conversations in my discussions and that is because I enjoy it too. Sometimes people will come back again...it makes it more fun. I know I do not always get to go back to a discussion I responded to because it gets lost in the shuffle. I wish myLot had a way that a user could flag a discussion so I would get an email and link to a discussion I flaged. Then, I would know if a person commented to my response. Hey, if it helps...if you ever see my response and you post a comment on mine...besides the thanks for sharing/response...feel free to send me a message to let me know. :)

I am fairly ne won Mylot so I do take my time reading posts and responding. I feel genuinely interested reading other poeple's views. But for people who've been around a long time (like say they have a rating of 1000) - I think they've answered way too many posts to really care about individual responses. Maybe they should then just stick to responding to posts that interest them and they can write more than a few words.

I agree with you - although I am new too so nobody please tell me how I have no right to have an opinion on this because I'm new. Anyway, I partly joined this website to get involved in some interesting conversations but have been finding it hard to do so. Even some of the people who respond with more than just "thanks" are sometimes rude and just trying to get to you. So far I've only been involved in one discussion that has actually been more like a debate even though it has been short it has been interesting. Ljcapps - if you are interested in really getting down to it and having some good discussions, post something and I'd be happy to get into it with you (as long as I have an opinion on it!) HA HA

well as for myself I am getting sick of it too but when I respond to a discussion I never put only one line. Yes I love to respond to great discussions so I can put more in put into the discussion.

This is not a single line reply, this spans over two nice lines what do say if i say just "yes" ;) lolz well no hard feelings man, every buddy here is for earn, it is not harmfull that u get one line responses, after all its adding ur points ! May be someone just agrees with all you hae written in the topic itself, and he/she thoughts that there is no need to xtend things. And hahahah wake up man (@ adding comment) its not responsibility of the topic starter, what things happening here are alright, no need to shout at that
