Best Response

No, it is not a requirement, it is up to the person that started the discussion. If they award the BR, they do. If they don't, they don't
I am not certain if it helps the earnings or not, I don't think it does. it might help their ratings number (star) though

According to myLot encouragement, it is advisable to mark best response after a week to the specific post. To allow other members or friends to make reply through email notification. Other reason is different time zone among active members. Whatever, it totally depend on us because marking Best Response is not under discussion guideline violation.

I think that's the first 1 I've ever seen in a star! If you don't give a best response the discussion will stay open, the best response closes the discussion in YOUR information. However people can still see it and post to it! This seems confusing but if you stay here for awhile you'll see it's to your benefit to give out a best response, beside don't you think the people who think of the opinions they type for your viewing pleasure should get some type of reward? tdemex

it doesnt have to be done, certainly i am very behind in doing this but i think its nice and i think the recipient gets an extra penny or something anyway. i try to wade through mine at least once a week and get rid of some.

I think it is not necessary to give the best reponse in every single discussions i think this is not a way to improve your earning but to improve your rating here only!!
So if in some discussions you think that there are not a best reponse and may be you want wait more before give it you can wait or you could only choose the ebst reponse when you judge it really good!!
So normally i give best responses in my discussions so when the month finished i will check all my discussions i have strated during the month and so i will give best reponses if there are some discussions who i want wait more or just have zero responses i will leave the topic open to other members as well!!

Hey cookiecrumbles! I don't like having to pick the best response
either and I really don't think that anyone really does! It is
such a difficult thing to do! As for the payments, I get so
many best responses and I really don't see any increase in
my payments! So, basically for me it is just something that
makes me feel so proud and happy that others feel that my
responses are good and that they think that they were worthy
of something! I am always honored no matter how many I get
and I feel just as happy each time that I get one! Since I
spend alot of time responding it really makes me feel like
the work that I am doing means something to others and there
is no better feeling even if mylot doesn't think that it is
that important~

I do not know if it makes a difference in one's earnings or not, what I know is that I often let weeks go by before I pick a best response.

For me, I just make best response for several of my discussions. Because it is really hard to pick a best, some responses are from different angles, it is difficult to tell which is better, and if you once make best response, after that, maybe someone will give enven better response, then it is not so fair.

I guess that would be up to you, as to marking a best response or not. If it bothers you to do so, then don't do it. Personally, i think it adds to the persons number or payment or something, i am not sure, but i do mark things, including the ratings, which i always try to give good ratings on discussions. Seldom do i mark one down, i usually just skip over that particular one.

There is no rule that u must mark best response for every discussion.its ur wish that u can mark best discussion and it may help in earning or increase in rank
