Why don't people have discussion?

Thank you and I agree ... Its rude not to at least acknowledge a response with at least a thanks.

and yet to reply with a "thank you" is against mylot terms of service... :/

I want a response and a discussion thats why the catorgories are: discussions, top discussions, hot topics. If I just wanted to answer a question I would go to Yahoo Answers.

Those words you just mentioned are just tags. It really depends on the content of the discussion which would really make it a hot topic or not in regards to the amount of responses that you'd get. Start an interesting topic. ^_^ You've already done that with this one that we're responding to.

First off I love your pic SOO cute! Second... I don't know if commenting gets you more money it is some thing that I read different every where. It does keep you getting responses which does bring in more pennies. Its just 1 more penny in the bucket one day its gonna add up.

Makes sense to me. I hope it helps others understand that its of more then just a question answer thing. Its a DISCUSSION.

eb... like i was talking to you about i dont think its a directly more money but instead its about the overall. My understanding is this... imagine the overall discussion is orange at the grocery store. the orange is evaluated and placed in a bin for individual sell or could be baged for sell as part of a group depending on quality. the price per pound is based on quality of the orange. now to make the quality of our orange on here be higher is to comment and respond as much as possible. with all the replies to this one for example it will be judged to be worth more then say the discussion on where you want to vacation. the algorithm that mylot uses for payment will asign a higher "price per pound" everyone involved there for will get a little bit more when it sales. now of course there is other factors. this was just an attempt to better explain why commenting is important. basicly they WANT us to be chating not just answering. hoping that helps out and made a little sense.

Thank you for your response! As I said on the top of the page I don't expect a reply on questions like whats your fav color but on questins like what do i do my husband is cheating on me. I do expect an reply when actual advice is given.

Thank you for your response! On the dumb questions like whats your favorite color I don't expect to make a whole discussion out of it. But when your talking about say parenting and you answer and the person doesn't acknowlegde that you responded its discougaging.

I remember when some higher up discussion people would get upset if I just said thank you for your input. They would report me and stuff, which I think is simply ridiculous. I find myself having more bad responses than good, but you know its about discussion you can't be good at everything. You certainly can't make everyone happy lol.

Its not just you! A lot of people don't respond.

Thank you thats what I thought too.

Hey Lady! Going slow is a great way to start out until you get the hang of it and see what kind of discussions get good responses and therefore will earn you the most pennies. And, of course, many people are under the impression that you don't get paid for responding to responses. But, according to Crash, you do. Welcome and good luck!

Time is definatly a factor in commenting!

I agree not all answers deserve a response.

your response isn't worth 2 cents! lol I'm kidding!

yeahyeah yeah but might be worth a penny if im lucky

I thought the same thing until I read some of the answers from Crash. Reading through those it says that if you comment and comment back it brings the discussion higher which makes you more money. So I guess it helps the person who started the discussion not necessarly the commenters.

Then its worth it for the original poster to keep the discussion going. I'm sure they don't allow bumping here, tho.

I did get the e-mail notification but not any more I was getting to many e-mails. By the way did you see the link I sent you on that condo?

I answered that link after I did the above discussion. I had a feeling that would happen after I did it. Thanks...

I really try to comment on responses. If not to all most. Some of the answers are the same so I don't respond to both. I will at least put thank you for your response.

i know what you mean. one of my discussions was a simple one. i mean the answer was basically the same you could say. but it was tough responding to all. had to write the same thing. in fact, i think i too missed a few there. but now, i try to at least just say thank you too.

I don't give 100% comments but I would say about 80% get a comment back some responses shouldn't get one because of rudness or not really answering the question.

I just don't see the point in being on a discussion board if your not going to discuss. Just me!

Yes I try to leave something. Some times I don't get a chance. Some people don't leave much to comment on either. Some people will answer with some thing like "yeah I agree" what do you comment on that? Perosnally I try to at least put Thank you for your resonse

I understand the time restriction. Like me I am on here when I am at work not often at home to much to do. And some times I actually have work to do so this gets put aside.

I have plenty of good discussion friends but I don't just answer there questions. I answer a lot of questions from people that are not friends. I just think that a lot of people don't understand what this site is. If you have commen sence its easy to figure out. When you want to ask a question you go to "start a discussion" because its a discussion not just you ask a question you get an answer and thats the end of it. They have a comment place for the continuation of the discussion.

One person who had been on my friend list actually posted a follow-up "discussion" for the sole purpose of telling the people on her friend list that SHE didn't have TIME to reply to any of the individual comments she got to her previous discussion so she would just give one answer! Well, that was NOT a discussion, and blissfully was removed by myLot staff. What you say is so true. We shouldn't have to go to the profile of each person we might wish to reply to and check out the reputation, so to speak, before joining a discussion. The problem you are exposing here tends to create insular behavior here, because when people abuse the concept of a discussion then some of us tend to cling more closely to our trusted friends. Great point.

Thats what I like about MyLot you can disagree and thats what can make the discussion so much fun. I have a couple discussions going on right now that I keep going back to and its ongoing. I look forward to getting a response back even from the people that I disagree with. Thanks for your response. And by the way I repeted myself A LOT on this discussion because a lot of the answers we repetes. I personally would rather the discussion starter to say some thing rather then nothing.

Good luck myloting! Yes some people will just put one word and they don't even derserve a + rating. I give a + rating 99% of the time. The others don't get anything.

Hope I was one of the 99% then LOL Ellie :D

Yes you got a + for your responce and now a + for your comment! Have a good day!

Personally I don't do this for the money. I don't see how any one does. I mean really making a dollar for sitting here for 8 hours is ridiculous! If you want to make money get a job! lol
