When you reply to a topic do you expect a comment? When? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers7 months ago

When I reply I'm expecting only 80% to 90% comment. There are response that I'm excited for a comment but the rests just leave it. happy

How about you? Are you disappointed, to a response you made with zero comment?sad

Hello friend! Well, same with you, I expect comments when I respond to a discussion. I also post comments to other responses. I want to see the views of the discussion starter and/or the other users with my response and to see if they agree or not, or to say thanks or to ask a question. I reply back when someone had posted a comment with my response so I always check out for the discussions that I had responded to see if there are new replies. I notice a few discussions seem to be 'dry', just a topic started by a user followed with responses only and no comments. In that way, how users interact about the topic. I always post comments on my discussion to appreciate the response and/or to ask a question. In that way, the users who responded in my discussions will know that I read on every response. If a user had posted a discussion, it is a responsibility to check back on it and to reply on the responses received. In that way, interaction among the users exists and that's what a discussion is. Posting comments can also helps to increase earnings. Happy mylotting! happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Yeah, this is what supposed to be a discussion is it's "interaction", a discussion without interaction is not a discussion at all.

Me for many times I won't mind if I don't earn for a 1 line comment just to say "thank you", yeah, only to show value for others participation.

Important is the happiness when we received the response, and therefore we should share the happiness to the respondents by saying "thank you" or informing them that we read their message.

Thank youhappy
Happy mylotting!


myLot reputation of 81/100. boogerman (864)   ranked 1,993 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

You are right! thumbup it is important. Interaction is the key to a good discussion. If a discussion has a many responses and each of them are posting comments with others, more users will participate to it because the discussion is active. I also want to keep it active by posting comments. I still do that even it is late and if I am happy if I receive comments even it is late, at least they tried and I understand that all of us here are doing other things aside from getting online. wink


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Yup! Same as in chat room, no one will stay if nobody in the roomexcept himself/herself. Well in some (exceptional) cases like in monologue/declamation one would talk alone and others would listen - but note that here there are audience.In the case of discussion here in mylot there is that delay of reply but least with reply, yeah!happy


myLot reputation of 81/100. boogerman (864)   ranked 1,993 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Unlike in chatroom where replies must be quick and if you want to get out temporarily, you can type 'brb' (be right back) or 'afk' (away from keyboard) to let them know that you are offline for a period of time. In here, discussions are open for everyone and it is fine even there are delays on posting replies as long as the users participated in it. In addition to my comment above, we must also consider the other things other members are doing aside of being online here as the reason of the delay on replies, at least they tried. happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Yeah! You're right. It's the timemakes the 2 differs, of both there is in common and difference.

Well as long as there is still a comment from a prior respondent, I won't stop replying.

Unlike with chatting if I see my mate offline seldom I send message. In here I won't stop not until you told me to do so!lol


myLot reputation of 81/100. boogerman (864)   ranked 1,993 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Nice one! thumbup with that attitude, you can create a lot of good discussions here that keeps active for a longer period of time. And I will be the one of responders who keeps on replying as long as there are users who post comments on my responses. lol keep it up!

2. myLot reputation of 96/100. ShellyB (3008)   ranked 231 out of 19,534 in questions & answers   7 months ago

There are comments that I leave thinking I can't wait to see what kind of reply I will get out of this.
Other times I am conscious that not everyone has my time to reply to me like I do and have gotten replies days and even a couple of weeks after I have first commented to their discussion.
Other times I have gotten a best response where the user did not replied to anyone at all.
So, pretty much I am not shocked when I get no reply to my comment.


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Well the number of your posts definitely will tell, why you won't mind anymore 'coz I'm sure you have innumerable friends and in a day you won't be zero. This is my opinion here. Hope I'm only 50% wrong. happyHappy mylotting!


myLot reputation of 81/100. boogerman (864)   ranked 1,993 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

I always check back for the discussions that I had responded previously to see if I receive comments from other users and the discussion starter so I can reply back to them. I rarely check my email for notifications because I am always online here so I just look at my profile for the discussions that I responded. wink


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Me I used to click first the window "started" then I could see from the top to bottom who replied in my discussion. I always pay attention to the messages from various respondents.

It become my habit that first time I make here in mylot is to open the "started" folder, I usually reply in the latest one. lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. ShellyB (3008)   ranked 231 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

There has been time where I do not have comments, it has to do with when I commented or started a discussion.
But it has happened.


myLot reputation of 81/100. boogerman (864)   ranked 1,993 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

You have a point there, by having friends, your discussions will not be classified as 'zero responses'. You can ask your friends to respond on your discussions. Anyway, I rarely start my own discussions so I just prefer to respond on them and to stay at a topic if it is active and look at my profile to see on discussions I had replied. I also dig up to older topics sometimes if the discussion is interesting and/or if it is active. happy wink happy

hi Zearah,

never, some times i have got no responses for some discussions,we have to try if the thing is interesting you will get more responses, regularly i will get from two to 5 responses only comparing with you it is only below 10 percent


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hmmmm, I respect your opinion, "well as you've said below 10%", so at least you have that reservation to expect. Yeah, you're right the factor of "interesting" is a basis here.

Thank you for sharing your opinion,

4. myLot reputation of 98/100. Porcospino (2766)   ranked 1,485 out of 19,534 in questions & answers   7 months ago

I don't expect an comment on every response. I always appreciate a comment and it makes me happy to receive a comment on my response, but I don't get angry or disappointed if I don't get a comment. It is nice when people comment on their responses, but I don't think that it should be some kind of obligation. I expect the person who started the discussion to comment if they want to or if they feel that they have to something to say about the response, otherwise it is okay not to comment, I think happy


myLot reputation of 98/100. ckyera (2581)   ranked 49 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

i agree... happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Well that's your opinion and I respect that, as a matter of fact your total number of posts denotes that you have reason to opt not expect of course there are much interesting things for you to spend on your minutes such as to reply to your interested topic or create your own topic, rather than to read comments (not all are interesting). I hope you won't mind my comment. lollol

Most folks normally leave comments. Well there is this one man that just riles me. I have left many replies on his posts and even if he has 50 replies he comments on all of them but mine. Why I dont know, but it so ticks me off. He does it on every freaken one. I have posted on about 12 of his posts so far, all of which were good. Yet never once not even a simple thanks for replying. And it so just ticks me off, because I am the only one being ignored by him. And I dont know why either.


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hmmmmm, it seems that there is something with the "two of you(this what I observed baesd on your message)", I find it difficult to comment on that point - he ignored you maybe he wanted to caught your attention or the other way around, he he he.

Thank you

hello zearah!
actually i don't expect anything from anyone...its because i am not holding their minds and their decisions...a comment on my response is really nice and i appreciate it so much...sometimes i asks some questions on my response and i hope that the concern party will answer my question but if he/she does not, then its just okay with me...there are also times that i myself did not comment back on the response...its just because sometimes i have nothing more to say, or sometimes i overlook the response...but if the comment ask for something, i try to answer back as much as possible to best that i can...
just don't be disappointed if you get no response or comments on your posts...coz if you do, it might ruin your day and spoil the fun...
just keep on posting and enjoy each moment that you are here!
have a nice day! happy posting!happy


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Hmmmmmm, I wish I could be like you but I guess it's because you're busy with some other activities so it won't matter if nobody commented on your response. Your time is always loaded.

Thank you

Hi,
Well i used to be like that. Used to check on each and every discussion to see if i have got a response but not now. As you said there are many responses that i am eagerly waiting for the discussions starter's comment but all in vain. I guess its fine. Most of them do replay to discussions while some might not be getting time.

It happens with to as i have started so many discussions it is not possible for me to check on the oldest one if i get a response but i do try my level best. So the same might be happening with them also.

We have done our duty let them do their hehe.

Happy Mylotting. thumbup


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Yup! I got your point. That's a very practical reasons as long as there is happiness, for not being bored with the expectation of unknown replies. Just continue on read and type, receive what had came then give back if you can. thumbupthumbup

When I reply to a topic, I usually expect a comment to check if there are people who agree to my opinion on a topic because I believe that if someone comments on your topic or posting, it can start a healthy conversation and make the discussion more interesting to other people.

I do not get disappointed if there are no comments on my response since all of us are busy with other personal tasks.

Happy MyLotting!!!


myLot reputation of 91/100. zearah (1147)   ranked 31 out of 19,534 in questions & answers  7 months ago

Yup, approved! I agree, to expect is to know therefore if the response was helpful or not. It's not as you're forcing or obligating( we don't know how the responder would act) the person to comment but the purpose is to know the impact of the response made. happyhappythumbup

Wow! That's good. For me more than one but I keep on starting a new discussion whenever I want to. Because here as long as you're happy and don't make any violation rules. Yeah, many times I have a discussion of zero, sometimes after 2 to 3 days somebody will reply, not bad at all. happyhappyhappy
