Do You Ever Wish You Could Take Back Your Best Reponse????

Sometimes, yes. But I like to wait a while so that my discussions get a good airing. So by the time I mark the best response, I usually have a pretty ok one as the chosen one. But yes, sometimes, it happens and I guess you can always compensate by giving that deserving guy a best response on another discussion if possible.

It has happened with me.I thought I gave reasonable time to mark best response for one of my discussions. But to my surprise I found more responses coming and one of them was very good.

Well i feel there are times when we even after waiting for quite sometime and when no new repies are forthcoming i mark the best response from them. And after sometime someones posts better response which can't be rewarded but i give them positive rating and positive comment. I feel that we should given the chance to rate the replies out of five, so everyone gets what they deserve. Or we should allowed to reward all better responses that will also improve the overall quality fo discussions on mylot forum too.

Not take it back, but add others to the same discussion

There was a time when in one of my discussions there were two people who gave really great responses.. It was a bit hard to decide which among the 2 gave the best response.. But since I can only choose one, I gave the best response mark to the first one who posted among the two..

i have never gave best response without being sure that this the best one. Its not so easy to get from me it cuz i care about discussions i post and wait for some time untill i choose as well as i conastantly return to my old post to read people opinions. May be cuz i care more about people then about money and not start million silly and boring discussins just to earn money. Heh i also have sharp toungue or what?:))

it has not happened to me yet as it takes me several days to a week before i choose a best response to a discussion.

I would have liked to on at least one of my discussions, but could you imagine how many people this would upset if their best responses were taken away? Many of my discussions get very few responses, so I usually wait longer to resolve them than what many others probably do. I often wait weeks and sometimes well over a month before resolving my discussions so that I do not give the best response to the wrong person. I have awarded the best response on a discussion that had no activity for more than a week a couple of times, only to have someone come back and give a better response than anything that had been there previously. By then it was too late. The best response had already been awarded.

There has been a few times that I wish I could change this, but there are times when not a lot of responses come in and I like to make sure someone gets the best response. I think it is O.K. the way it is because I would not want to be able to change this and take it away from someone else I would not like this done to me. There probably is not too many other ways for them to set this up.

It never occurred to me to retract any best responses I gave. I usually waited for a few weeks or until my threads stayed dormant then I will resolved the discussions. I honestly do not mind if a discussion I'm responding have marked best response already. Though it kind of irritated me if the best response was given within the hour right away. :)

I don't think taking it back would be a good thing to do. A lot of people place great stock by their best responses and their reputation and star rating, and if they had that taken away they would be angry and rightly so. However, I do think that adding people to the best response thing would be a good idea. There are times when I get torn between 2 great responses and it's so so hard to pick just one. I have made the mistake before of rating a best response and then ended up wishing I'd waited a while. I usually only wait a few days or so though and generally I'll then pick a best response. I like to make sure I have my discussions resolved by the end of the month so I can start the new month with a clean slate.

yeah this has happened with me that i found later that some other answer is more worthy and i wish i could.....

I would recommend giving it a day or 2 before choosing your best response to prevent this from happening.....There are so many wonderful Mylot friends out there it can be really hard choosing one! But hopefully this will help for you when choosing the right response for you! Best Wishes Stacy

Am glad to know you and hope can become friends!
