Do you reply to the responses that you get to your discussions?

i agree 100% if someone is going to take time to respond to one of my discussions i feel it's only common courtesy,to give them some of my time in return,ithink a lot of people respond just to make a few cent's and don't really care what the discussion is about.money,money,money,some people here get so upset over a few cents i don't get it.anyway have a good weekend "}

I would if i had any responses to begin with. Noone is answering them which gets me annoyed. I'm willing to respond enthusiastically if they answered.

I try to reply to all my responses. I love reading the replies from people, they contribute so much to a discussion.

I do respond to some of my replies. If they get me thinking or were helpful advice I respond. However sometimes they don't seem to justify a response, and some days I don't have time to check for responses anyway.

Sometimes i do, it depends really on what the response was, whether it is one that's capable of being responded to itself and whether it's something that has inspired me enough to repond to. For example, in some of my discussions i may be asking for adivce or oppinions, and if someone reponds with something intereting i might ask them more detail about it, or maybe even thank them if it was a really helpful response. Personally i think it's alsways nice to have my own responses responded to becuase then it feels like the person is really interested in my response and that i've contributed to their discussion.

I agree. This happens all of the time of my scrapbook websites. It makes you feel unimportant when they don't respond to what you said...

yes!...i do!...it is a sign of appreciating them in responsing!...i dont have enough time to check all the people who responded in my discussions!...most people i give reply is my friend!...it is our deal to give reply or response to each others discussion!...but now, im more focused on the new discussions being posted!...

If you look in the Mylot guidelines it does say... Dont Thank everyone that responds or comments on your discussion. This will not increase your earnings. Its about the eleventh one down in the donts... http://www.mylot.com/o/guidelines.aspx I usually wait a week or two to give people a chance to reply, then go back to rate everyone that has replied and to pick a best response Also if someone has left me an answer i will reply to it, but I just don't have the time to reply to all my replies!

I do try to go back and respond to everyone , even if it is a simple thank you so that they know I did take the time to look back , but this has been a slow process and I am still trying to get through some that were put up weeks ago . I will eventually make it through all of them but am not going to start any more discussions until I do get through them all . It is a good feeling when someone lets you know that they apprectiated you for taking the time to answer .

Yes I do and sometimes I will go back again and again if they continue responding to my responses. Not necessarily filling the billfold up, but I consider it a way to build my reputation. I have been fortunate in the fact that I haven't had any discussions with no response yet. But that could definitely dampen my spirits. I feel appreciated when I feel that I have made a good response and someone comments on it! I love the way it feels. It is just so satisfying. For me, that feeling makes up for not making more money. :-)

I read every response I get to my discussions. I may not rate every response or comment, but I do read them. When I have a response, I write back.

Sometimes it took me time to go back to the responses that I get from my discussion what I do is I go back to them and comment one by one and the same time answering some discussion so I can maximize my time. But when I have lots of respond to my discussion I really allot a time to which I only comment to my discussion because that is the way that the discussion make a healthy one.

I have noticed this to and wonder if it doesn't have something to do with the friends list ? Personally I could care less about the few cents,I make. Its quite educational here with so much food for thought. Also I would pick the best answer based on just that not that they where on my friends list ,If people are so desperate to make a few cents .I hope your feeling are not hurt even in the little time of being here can see petty school kid stuff going on. Keep responding I am sure you will soon get some honest person who goes for the best answer not just someone with good ratings or a friend.

I have done this everytime I got a new response, to my discussions. But I keep two things in mind, while replying or commenting on those responses. First, the response should be fairly long enough, thatmeans, not the one or two liners. Secondly, the response should be relevant to the discussion topic. Keeping these two things in mind, I generally comment on most of my responses. I totally agree, that this commenting is neccessary to encourage the responders, so that they respond to my other discussions also. I would also feel if my response is rated positively, or commented upon. But this seldom happens.

I sometimes reply to some responses I had with my discussions and I feel good too if someone appreciated my response too.

Yes I do reply back to those who ask me something in regards to my discussion. Oh no I never ignore any of them that have replied to my discussions and also I give them a positive rating and a best response but I wait a couple of days for this part as you never know what comes in. Yes of course I do feel great when my response is appreicated.

I do respond to all replies unless it is a ridiculous and and one line reply.The members who respond to our discussion are to be respected and taken care of. It is simple courtesy. It is said that a man is known by his actions and if we dont reply to our friends they will conveniently forget us. I have seen very selfish members here who may respond and reply to you just to get some referral signed under them and the moment you sign alas! there is utter silence. Reputation is not the star alone it is also the way we deal with our friends and the community. You have a very valid point here and i fully agree with you. Another point is to select the best response and that too within a reasonable point of time. Neither too early nor too late. We can understand a person by their on line behaviour. I have also seen some people here who invade others home pages and make lot of noise . We need to respect others boundaries also.these are not the only problems of mylot . these are the problems of civilization. The more the world has 'progressed', the more people started forgetting courtesy,culture and community living.We need to look back and learn from our grand parents and parents.

I do respond back to quite a few of the people who post replies on my discussions. Every now and then we even get a dialogue going, "message board style." It's nice to know that the person (original poster) actually came back to read what was left there. After all, the whole point of a "discussion" is that there's an exchange back and forth. I just wish there was some relatively easy way to know (or ne notified) when there was a response made to a response.

yes i do reply to those who respond me discussion.to have a comment and thanks for appreciating my discussions..do you earn if you reply back to my discussion?

I am new to mylot. I share your view that responses you get from your discussions should be attended to asap.To me interactions is thr whole essence of being here Except you are here just for the money which is more than what mylot stands for. This is a great community and i think i like it here.
