It's not true that if one responds to users here they will come to our posts

After analysing what is what here I too am satisfied as I truly enjoy this place which provides me a kind of relaxation and this opportunity to interact at a global level is more than what I have asked for.

But you do not get to the top of the top rated

That's mostly what I do too. I certainly do that first. If I run out of posts I'll go to new users or no responses.

@allknowing I am not bothered to be honest in fact I didn't even know there was such a thing! See one learns something new every day!

But I insist. I am going to comment here whether you like it or not. That is how I have geared myself and I simply must if you do not mind

@allknowing No problem - knock yourself out!

I see you doing that and that is how it should be. You are a great user here.

@ridingbet Whatever it is may you have a successful mission.

@allknowing thanks. i am doing this now because i will be out tomorrow and on Friday.

I do too. But just wanted to share my observation.

@fishtiger58 What matters is we enjoy this place and this you and I do

@allknowing I think that happens to all of us for sure.

How do you do it? (lol)

@allknowing lol I spend a lot of time here.

@Happy2BeMe It is a fun place to be

It's fine responding to posts but they should comment on them in order for you to earn which does not happen often

In course of time when your activity increases you will get more attention.

@allknowing that too also matters .... the more you post interesting topic and participate in interacting with other mylotter...

I have already said that I am satisfied but just wanted to share my observation that it should not be taken for granted that all those whose posts we respond to come back to comment or respond to our posts.

@DWDavis Oh no!! Yes I did ask for suggestions

@allknowing But you did ask for suggestions.

The ultimate aim should be to interact which is not happening here the way it should.

@PatZAnthony Many do not know the meaning of interaction and in the long run they are the losers as many will stop interacting with them.

@allknowing It is that way on other sites too. Some will never interact as we would expect them to.

But this user is special. They get back what they give and therefore get to the top (lol)

@allknowing oh okay.

How many times have your posts reached the top rated list.

@allknowing As long as it remains active, it finds its way there. I have seen several of mine there. Even made it to Hot discussions.

There are some no matter how many times I go to their posts neither respond to my posts nor comment on my responses on their posts. But I have accepted this scenario as I get a lot of interaction from those who are regularly there.

That user seems to be an exception then as you are right about all those we respond to do not respond to our posts. Such is life and I have accepted it with a smile

It is not a standard here that you respond and that person responds to yours

@allknowing No it's not.

I have been doing this always and am quite happy with the interaction. You seem to be busy and hence have no time. It is understandable. myLot is not the be all and end all of time. Just be yourself Janet. You do not have to come to all my posts. I need to post many because my posts get buried in the recent list and many miss them. Enjoy your holiday in Spain.

@jaboUK Most depend on recent activity and such tabs. I hardly go to pages myself. And my going to pages is restricted to a small number. I am happy interacting with a few who are there on all my posts probably because they go to my page. I do expect comments on responses I post but I understand all cannot respond to my posts just as I too do not respond to all. Just a clarification. You did mention somewhere that when someone comes to your post you respond to their posts. If you have tens of responses do you go to their page to look for their posts?

@allknowing Thanks Grace. But my point is that if people come to your page they will probably just read your latest, and so whether it's buried in the lists or not is irrelevant.

The strange thing is even if they do not respond to comments users keep going to their posts. And the OP earns without helping their responders to earn which is very mean I think.

@JamesHxstatic What I feel is they think when they respond they earn. Why else would they respond to someone who never gets back?

@allknowing It seems to be the way of the world, I think.

It is the interaction that helps one earn here but that is not consistent.

@asfarasiknow I too have noticed that.

@allknowing Times of day certainly seem to play a part, the potential of posts to get long threads going (very variable from day to day), all sorts of factors.
