Todays top discussion

I can only guess it is randomly put there by the system. The only consistent criteria is that it was started and has received even if only one response within 24 hours...

Hi mayka! Nice to see you back on mylot after a log gap. I simply have no idea about it. It may be selected by an automatic system, as is done in case of 'mylot digest' (if you have subscribed for it). You could see and check if any of the 'top discussions' invokes interest and you could respond else do not break your head on the point - how these are selected.

I've also noticed that a top discussion may have only one response but then there's a back and forth conversation between the responder and the OP so I guess that would constitute it being a top discussion. I can only guess. The actual method of choosing the top discussion is as mysterious as how the earnings at myLot is calculated.

Yes I noticed this too. Maybe it was because according to the administrators that particular discussion was rather interesting/valuable? I do agree with you though that a 'top discussion' should be one that has received several responses, and instigated a lot of discussion.

Hi, mayka... I cannot enlighten you actually as I am confused too. Just take a look at here and this might add up to your confusion. http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2717288.aspx

you can pick base on the topic you like or base on the discussion that got your interest

Personally I am really nit sure how this is decided. From time to time I see people doing good and others who keep you wondering as well. All I know is you get paid here from responding back or others who post even when they are not keeping comforting thoughts in harms way.

My guessing is the topic which got rated in highest number is (on the particular day) considered as the highest rated discussion. There is no considerations of number of responses or how active the topic. Many time the most active discussion on the day never make the highest rated discussion. It is selected randomly, not done by manually. The funny thing is, many times the highest rated discussion got deleted due to violation of guidelines later. Now my question is, will the administration reconsider the criteria of getting highest rated discussion. I felt the highest rated discussion should be the most active discussion on the day on number of responses and activity and it should not be a topic of violating any guidelines.

I 'THINK' this is chosen at random, i have seen at times such discussions have few responses only
