What should we do when mylotters don´t respond?

There are some discusions that leave a lot of open threads. In those cases I comment, asking what I don´t understand. Many times, most of the answers are similar to mine. We want to know more. And sometimes I wait for an answer and there is no word. It is as if there was a grafitti written on a wall and then I was left to talk to it. What do you do?

I would give them some more chances but if they don't respond within the week assuming people are busy, I would move on. There are some instances where I am waiting because the discussion is interesting but they don't respond.

I wonder if we should stop reading posts from people who don´t comment on your answers.

@marguicha I know I mess up sometimes. There are times I should comment but I forgot or closed the notification without responding, or other stupid stuff. I unfollow people who I never see on here or never answer my posts. I want to spend time on those who are likely to answer back, sometimes. There are times when I don't understand the post. Today, someone posted a long description of something that happened in her neighborhood. I did not understand and apparently other people did not either. I did answer though.

I avoid responding to questions which lead to unethical fights

I recall a discussion somedays back (when MysD was all good in health) - the OP had posted and forgot all about it but MysD interacted with all those who had posted replied onto that thread and made it a discussion. PA too has this kindness as I remember one of Raja's posts - wherein she had turned it into a discussion.

I go to other threads and post on them. Yes, many times, there are very short answers, but what can we do. I just write my share on the threads and continue to the next ones.

The thing is that a conversation needs to have some questions answered.

@marguicha Yes, like when one asks a question on a thread. It needs an answer. I have sometimes found some unanswered questions. It happens often.

Now that summer is here, people are busy doing other things. I think it will be harder to earn. People do have lives offline. Try changing the kind of things you write discussions about.

I am not that interested in earning. I want to have a conversation going, as we are doing now.

There are a couple of my discussions that I am having trouble with finding a response. In my notifications it will say who responded. I try to go through each one, but it seems that there are a few that I still can't find. Drives me crazy. Maybe you could send them a message and they will get back to you.

I think a lot of members post a discussion and move on and they also choose to ignore notifications. i think a lot of people just don't understand how the site works.

I gave it up long back. I feel there are two kinds of people here who do not respond or interact as the open a discussion - one- they revert back after a while (maybe they have been busy or even forgot that interactions make a discussion). So I may try responding to them (only if the discussion is interesting) as I know, sooner or later I can expect an interaction. And then the second type - they post because they either do not read the guidelines or are unclear what a discussion is. They never revert back. I do not go to them. Hope you are doing good dear friend. Had been mostly away since the past so many days. Feels like coming back home

I will give people several chances but if I hear nothing back after that I don't usually bother with them any more. I personally reply to every comment on my posts.

@marguicha I write all my posts figures down and that way it's easy to see if there are extra comments without even opening the post. Obviously if there are, I open it and reply.

@miniam Right. But if someone is never commenting or responding, there is no use to follow them.

I can give 2 tips, not sure if they will work 1. message your followers who you think will be interested ,the discussion's link 2. Try to edit the post, add more tags, so that the discussion comes to most recent discussion

I tend to go respond to other discussions while waiting. If they respond, great! If not, I move on.

It depends on the situation. I think it is okay if people don't comment back right way. Maybe they are busy with other things and don't have much time to spend here. But if they never comment back I will stop responding.

Sometimes there are unhappy or unpleasant things going on in their lives at the time. I try my best to respond to everyone, even if it is not at the same day. I'm having an awful day today, for example.

Maybe they don't have any answers for the questions posted on the discussion so they don't comment.I have also experienced that people respond only on common easy type of discussions.
