When you start a discussion, do you go back and rate the responces?

I was just wondering how many mylot'ers actually go back to the discussions that they started and rate the responces and maybe even reply to them. I try to go back to the discussions I have started and rate everyone, it helps me remember who I read already, I also try to respond. I just think it is more polite, that I am not just ignoring someone or don't care about their responce. Now I know we can't respond to everyone, but what about rating?

I ALWAYS go back,. rate, reply and choose a best response. That way people will also come back and reply agan to another one coz they know that they get rated - and we all know that it´s good =) I think that it might be timeconsxuming at times, when u recive ALOT of responses, but if they take the time to reply, so can I

I agree 100%. I tend to not reply to discussions by the same people who have never responded before (not just to me but in general), yeah it is time consuming, but I think that it is the least we can do to show appretiation to the people who take the time to respond to the discussion.

yes. I do try and go back and respond to all comments made. sometimes it does take me awhile to get to all of them. I also rate every response and I give a best response to the person I think answered my question the best.

That's what I do too. I make sure I rate everybody at least and select the most impressive and convincing response as the best response.

Yes, as much as possible i really try my best to go back to my discussions and say thank you to the members who responded to my topic and then i go back to that members discussion as well and answer topics that he/she started. I also rate them even though sometimes im late adding comments on my discussion but i really go back to it. Its just to let the other members know that im taking time and effort to check to what their opinion is.

True, I also go back to my discussions and rate responses.Also I like some of the responses I receive.Some are waste but many are usefull.Also by rating we can increase quality of discussions here.Also by rating the genuine post gets benefit.So it is good to rate responses we receive for our discussions.

i rate the response as soon as i finished reading their responses. in fact i dont give a minus even the response is not closely related to the topic. what is important for me is that, they shared heir thoughts and they gave advise. i agree that it is polite to respond to a response but there are responses that are hard to answer. so i just give them a plus and best answer deserves a good mark. talking about giving rates, do i deserve a plus? LOL!!

I agree and think it is also a good practice. I don't get a chance to reply to everyone all the time, however I do rate them...though sometimes it takes me a day or two! But I do want to make sure I get them in so people know that I am very appreciative! Thank you!

Yep. I'm working through them. Mostly it's pretty easy since I don't usually get that many responses. I had one that got over 90 replies and I haven't finished that one up yet.

Yes I am very much eager to read the responses posted to my discussions .Actually i dont post topics just for money but i post them just to know what do people think about a certain thing So i read almost all of them whether they may be just 3 or 300 And i rate them i most times rate the responses as positive coz i hardly find negative comments or some spam so i do rate the responses and also take special care in marking the best response

Thanks for the post, you make great points. I think, well hope, that once people get on here it isn't just for the money but for the input and opinions of others. I was on yahoo answers, they don't pay and had a great time there. In fact, I still go back there when time allows, input from others is great!

Of course i would go back to my discussion and rate the response. If you rate the responses will make the quality of your discussion better and if you give comments against their responses, maybe they will go back to your discussion and post another responses again. So you will have a good quality discussion which will make you earn more money.

me too, i try to go back to the discussions that i've started and i try to read them 1 at a time. more so, it so enjoyable when you read the responses because it gives me other insights on the subject being discussed. it also gives me other preferences and point of views which i think helps me one way or another.

Same here, I really don't fully understand this site and how the payments go. But from what I have read, no one really does. Mylot tends to pay on different things at different rates. I personally just gave up trying to figure it out and just enjoy going on here. Thanks for your responce!

The way to win at myLot is to definately take time to respond to your own discussions and to rate every comment, as I do. It will certainly make them come back and rate you, etc etc. I agree that it is more polite, and I do this for every one of my topics. (or at least try very hard to)
