In Your Experience - So How Many Come Back & Say Thank You? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com8 months ago

OK, I was just wondering since I was dishing out Best Responses a while ago - so how many actually come back & say thank you? Please, I'm not particularly looking for one or demanding for any as that would be so shallow but as I'm one who likes to observe things, so that's why I popped the question? Do you always say thank you when you receive a BR? And how many thank yous have you received in percentage wise as I don't think one can remember the exact number? Haha!~lolHappy myLotting & have a good day y'all!~winkthumbup

probably about a third to half the people i guess.. i always try to thank people when i receive them though.. but others i dont think care much.. of course it doesnt help that we may not get emailed their replies of thank yous too


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

I guess mine is about the same percentage as you mentioned & like you said, there are others that are not too bothered about it. whistle But I guess to me, manners are still manners so I always express my gratitude as it's something that's in-built & comes out automatic!~happy

As I understand it coming back just to say 'thank you' is not a discussion, unless they have changed the guidelines. Unless I have something else to say I will not reply to the BR. Nor do I expect anyone else to comment back with only a 'thank you'. Most people are grateful to be awarded a BR, and it is assumed that they give thanks at least in their heart.

all the best,
ninja rosdimy


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Well, guidelines or not, I guess I've acquired such a habit myself? Maybe I'm just long winded? Haha!~lolIt's just that I'm the expressive type but you do have a point there as long as there is an acknowledgment or else the discussion will be never ending like "thanks", "no problems", "no, I really appreciate, so thanks again", etc, etc, etc, haha!~lol

There have been a few members who have either sent me a private message, posted a thank you within a discussion or both. However, the majority don't. That's completely fine with me. I give a best response because I think that the member has contributed something very worthwhile in a discussion that I have created and I see that as thanks enough. I have never thanked anyone for choosing my comments for a best response. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the sentiments very much, but I just don't have the time to do it. I hope others understand that most of my time on myLot is spent to replying to others responses in my threads and answering questions. Cheers. happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Totally understood!~ Just like I mentioned when I started the discussion I wasn't looking for anything but just like to observe thingswinkYes, I agree that sometimes just replying to the responses of the people can be an overwhelming task especially when we're busy & time does not permit much activity here. "I give a best response because I think that the member has contributed something very worthwhile in a discussion that I have created and I see that as thanks enough" - GOOD POINT!~thumbup PMs of thanks - very rare occasions indeed. happy

None comes back to me as I hardly give best response as I hardly start new discussions often but response more. But when I get a best response from another Mylotter, I would also go and comment and say TQ just like you. thumbup. I think this habit of saying thanks is cultivated from young. It is good to say thanks.


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Yup, totally agree!~ It's a good habit!~winkthumbupYou should start more discussions actually so I can come & respond to them, haha!~ Your discussions are actually quite interesting as it's nature is different than mine as mine are more technical stuff, haha!~lol

I haven't made a tally on this so I can't really say how many came back to express their gratitude. But I do remember that some of those whom I awarded BRs did response back with their "thank yous".

It is okay for me though if someone did say nothing at all after getting the BR. I for one don't do it. Not because I don't appreciate receiving one but rather I am a bit shy blush and felt awkward sending PM or responding back in the thread for my thank you. I don't know why but I feel I am calling attention to myself and haughtily announcing my BR if I did thank back in the thread.


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Oh okshockedThat's something new!~ I don't think you should feel awkward & think that we though as people are always entitled to their perceptions & opinions but as long as your conscience is not pricking you I guess there's nothing wrong in that!~happythumbupAll the best!~

I don't expect any of the people I've awarded BR's (including you if I recall) to say thanks. Mainly because it is already prohibited in the Guidelines, but it seems so pointless. If they say thanks, good. But it's not necessary for anyone to thank me. I give BR's because I think the person I award it to deserves it, not because I'm seeking gratitude. I actually even reported a "friend" for repeatedly ending her comments in all my discussions with the line "thank you for replying to my discussion" - it gets annoying and it made me feel like this person only replies to my discussions because I replied to hers. So generally, I don't thank people for giving me BR's or for replying to my discussions, in the same vein that I don't expect them to thank me too. cool


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Wow, sounds like a calculative issue - responding only when someone responds to you!~ And yeah, it can be very irksome with the insincere mono replies, haha!~lolBy the way I wasn't aware it's prohibited in the guidelinesshockedWell, maybe people just use that to prolong discussions to try and make more money as in earnings?doh


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11840)   ranked 2,591 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

It is not prohibited in the Guidelines.
It is prohibited to say ONLY 'thank you'.

It is so easy to go back and say 'thank you' and add something else too and therefore stay well within the Guidelines don't you think?.

Put it this way, where there's a will there's a way wink


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Thanks for the clarifications!~w00tPhew!~ For a while I thought manners had to be thrown into the bin, haha!~lolI normally don't just say "thank you" as you know I can be chatty or some might consider as long winded, ahemwhistle

From ranges from 1 to 10, normally only one would comeback and say thank you.... so i practice it myself to say thank you whenever a favor was granted or given to me by fate, friends, officemates etc.... because I think that maybe this will be a good start so that people will remember it and have the courage to practice it later on in their lives to other people also ....

I have noticed that not many come back, Those that do always add a bit more to their comment too. Personally I do go back but that's just me blush

Just to clear up something from earlier responses. In the Guidelines it says:
'(Don't) Thank everyone that responds or comments on your discussion. This will not increase your earnings'
This does not mean that if we have been brought up to have a certain type of manners and respect for others we cannot thank them but it does mean that will not be enough. It means that those who just do that will not earn from it but it does not say we cannot do it.
I do feel that a little bit of logical thinking is required and sometimes we should put ourselves in someones elses shoes when trying to interpret the Guidelines. They are not as ridiculous as many discussions try to make them happy


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Well said, well said!~ That's why I always like you around as when it comes to things like that you're one of the veterans that knows how to go about, haha!~lolthumbupIf really the one is disallowed from expressing one's gratitude then I guess this discussion will be deleted sooner or later as the admins wouldn't want an unnecessary uprising, haha!~lol


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11840)   ranked 2,591 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Hahaha!
Is it only the veterans that are logical? blink

I think it has a lot to do with 'well that won't earn me anything so I'm not going to do it' - sad doh Nowadays, offline too, if it doesn't pay it's just discarded sad


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

I wonder what happened to gallantry & knights in shining armour?whistle Hahaha!~lolBut maybe spoiledbrat there was just being cautious not to step over the guidelines to avoid unnecessary trouble?lol


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11840)   ranked 2,591 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Oh spoiledbrat knows the Guidelines off by heart too! thumbup
There is though a way to detour that bit and not have it on our conscience by adding a wee bit extra - as many of us already do.
I never thank for responses on my discussions but I do find a lot os other stuff to say lol

Hi, I haven't gotten a whole lot of Best Responses & I didn't know that it was proper etiquette to thank the people who did give it to me. I now know that you should thank them & so I make sure that I do. As far as people thanking me, some do, but more often, they do not! But, that is ok!


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Proper etiquette or not I'm not sure but I think it's something that's in-built in me, haha!~lolBut it's not a big issue or whatever, just a thought that came to me so I started the discussion as like I did mention, I love to do observations, haha!~lol


myLot reputation of 88/100. busyB4 (792)   ranked 7,865 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

I guess that I have been lucky that many have responded to my posts and I to try to to their posts on my topics. Some I dont think are on as often as others and just by the time they are back on, may not remember to respond. I dont hold it against anyone as I know all are doing what they can or want to to make a few $$s here and to see what new is being discussed.


myLot reputation of 95/100. zweeb82 (1446)   ranked 294 out of 32,329 in mylot.com  8 months ago

Yeah, we shouldn't hold anything against anyone as a lot of people are very busy & I too at times when I come back I can't really remember which discussions I have responded to as I can do quite a substantial amount in a day. But the notifications do help as without them I might be lost!~confusedI think some have their notifications turned off as well so that might be one of the reasons. Anyway, all the best!~winkthumbup
