Comment on responses

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I always try to post a comment to every response because I agree it is the polite thing to do. What I try to follow this up with is to go to the respondents profile and find one of their discussions that I like to place a response there. I hope that helps everyone. I also try to rate all the responses, although some don't deserve it, but I'm giving you a + for this.

That's fine if they actually say something of substance, but if it's someone just trying to get another comment in for their numbers or a few cents, then I won't respond.

A valid point, and one with which I agree, short comments like 'yes' or 'no' wouldn't get the courtesy of a response. Thanks for your contribution.

I know that I sounded pretty mean, and I am sorry if I came across that way. I personally like to talk and discuss issues or to help and give any advice if I can. I also love starting topics that actually MEAN something to me and I will ALWAYS go back and respond to the comments that are left...even the one worded ones!! That is why I get so mad and frustrated sometimes because I feel that everyone should be doing that, not just a selected few. But what I said in my previous comment, is how I get over my frustrations!!

No I don't think you sounded mean at all, I too like to create meaningful discussions but realise that I probably won't get many, if any, responses. I do like to get involved in discussions and share my experiences and knowledge. It is generally these discussions where you tend not to get the comment back, thats when the frustration sets in. I responded to one such discussion a couple of days ago which had got something like 20 responses already. I went back and found that lots of good points had been made but no comments added by the member who had started the discussion. If that member hadn't been online for some time then I would accept that, but they were currently online and posting. Surely if you are going to start something that will get meaningful responses you should go back to it to carry on the discussion? When I say I won't go to their profile to post on one of their discussion points it is because I've usually found that theirs are something like 'Do you drink coffee?' which is against the myLot guidelines anyway and against my principals of giving yes/no answers. Thanks again for your time.

Thanks for this and I really get the point. I realise most people on here are here for the money and don't want to waste their time commenting if they're not paid for it. Thanks for your time.

Thank you very much for your response, and I do agree with you that it is worth taking the time to check back. Hope you check back on this because I've given you a + rating.

Thanks for your time CatVegas, I realise it is time consuming to keep going back, what I tend to do is try to go back every other day that I am on here and post replies, I don't find that too difficult because I don't start that many discussions. And you are quite right, we are here for discussions, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we have to remain a part of it once we have started it, many great discussions have been started between lots of people as a result of one small comment from someone who has never made any further contribution, look at the political field for those examples.

Thanks for your contribution here. I entirely agree with you, espaecially if we are lucky enough to have a good response rate it can be very time consuming. I am still going back to discussions started weeks ago to add comments, which can be good because it brings the discussion to the fore again.

Thank you for your time in responding to this topic. Again another member with similar morals to myself. I also rate dependent on the contribution, and I have reported some of the cheaters here too, I feel that myLot do need assistance in maintaining the good standards of the site and I have noticed a marked improvement over the last couple of weeks. Keep up the good work.

By the way, I've rated you a +

Tell me about the large number of pages, I felt I needed to comment on all the responses on this topic, almost there now, hope I don't get any more hahaha. I try to give the ratings appropriately and will also choose a best response. Thanks for your time.

Thank you ladygam for your contribution. I recently visited one discussion with over 100 responses, not one comment had been posted by the member who had started it. I know that a discussion doesn't necessarily mean that the poster has to continue with it but at least some acknowledgement would be nice, even if it was only to one or two of the contributors. I always go back to my discussions on a daily basis and check if there are any responses and try to post a comment, and I would reflect your comment that some may not even read the responses.

Wheyhey, thanks for that, I always try to rate contributions in my topics if they are deserving of it, not yet decided who should get 'best' yet, but you're certainly on the list.

I give you a positive for that.

Thanks Ronita for this, its taken a while to get to you, at the moment your response is the last in this topic, it may not be by tomorrow, and I'll have to come back, but thats the beauty of this site, it has living topics.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to this and I like the way you do things. Politeness doesn't cost anything and its nice to get just a thank you from time to time, but I do realise that some people are in this just for the money and are not really bothered whether people respond to their discussions or not. I can't really argue with that but then this is supposed to be a discussion site.

That is a good attitude to have here in this community, the main basis for the site is 'discussion', the pay should be a secondary matter, which I know it is to quite a lot of people here. Thank you for your comments.

Thanks for this, but do you actually get paid for posting a comment back to someone's response, I'm not too sure because myLot keep things very close to their chest when it comes to informing us what we actually get paid for. What I do like to do is go to the respondents profile to see if they have a topic that I would like to respond to, so I hope you have one in there, I know I get paid for that, and if its a good one then maybe get paid a little extra.

Thanks for your view, I don't suppose I feel too bad if I know that someone isn't online very often, but when it is someone who is on almost daily that is when it begins to annoy me.

ys u too r right but its ok it doesnt heart me even

Thanks for you response, I sometimes wonder too how they work out the payments. Your earnings are updated daily at about 15.00 GMT. You basically earn money by posting discussions, posting a relevant picture with your discussion (you can't post picture to other discussions until your rating is 500+) and responding to other discussions. If you just post short answers like 'yes', 'no', 'who cares' then you will get little or no payment. Try to choose discussions that you can post a reasonable response to, and then you will start to see your earnings grow. I'm at $10 now with just over 300 rating, some do better, some not so well. You will get the feel of ot soon, oh and by the wau, they do pay.

yahoo pays you for posting? This is news to me. Please explain?

Thanks for your comments Trace, I will always go back and at least read the responses and try to make a relevant comment, but of course not all responses deserve one. I always try to rate the responses, some get a +, a few get a - if its deserved, some don't get any. You've earned a +, keep up the good work.

Thank you for your time, what you say really makes sense, its the ones that ask a question that really get to me when they don't respond further.

Thanks for your comments, I'm surprised you don't rate the responses, particularly if it is a good and relevant one. Still, we all have our preferences and that's ok.

That's a really good attitude to have here. I'm sure you will do well on this site, enjoy, and thanks for your input.

Thanks strawberrymudd for the suggestion of a general thank you, I wish I had done that with this topic as it is taking a while to respond to all comments.

OK man, point taken.
