Why not mark a best response?

I usually mark a best response, but sometimes it is really hard to choose only one! I wish we had the option to mark two as best responses; it would make deciding much easier for me!

Hello Thecreationist, I have just discovered that the unresolved list holds your discussions for you until you choose to mark a topic with best response. I would presume that if you have already awarded a best response others may not bother to provide a well thought out response. I have decided to wait at least a few weeks to add best response as have discovered that discussions can be revived just by someone adding a new response. I do intend to always mark one as I know that it is nice to receive a best response.

I do agree that we should mark best response, but we are told not to do it before a week has passed, that way it gives more users a chance to respond. I have one discussion that I need to go back over the responses and mark the best one. Some people give best responses right away, as maybe they feel they won't get many more responses if any at all, so they mark then immediately. I like to wait and see, to give ample time for others to respond. You never know but that waiting, you might get better responses than what you already have. That being said, best response lets the user know, that there response was so appreciated. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.
