Will You Still Respond To A Discussion...

Hello Ysabel! That's a very cute avatar.

Thank you for sharing your view with this topic. I would also love to share my opinion to the matter though there is also a big possibility that the starter cannot read your response at all since he/she have already chosen a best response. What do you think?

Even i am having second opinions with responding to discussions with a lot of responses that you need to flip pages just to look for your response which really takes a lot of our time from us.

Hi ysabel, and koalapenguin, well, everytime we post something, the person who starts the discussion gets a mail and from there he or she can get a direct access to ur particular comment. Even otherwise, ur comment does reach him or her in the mail. Therefore, ur communication is complete. U need not fear that the person has not seen ur response. Of course, he or she may choose to respond later, depending upon the time he or she has. As far as joining a discussion that already has best response, I dont think I would hesitate. In fact, I have participated in many such discussions. I get to read thru some of the responses given by the others, and if I do have a valid point to make, I do make it. At times, it is just signifying agreement with the person who starts the discussion, or the one who has responded.

Hello vandana. That was a nice point. But eventually, not all members read a lot of responses as they have troubles making comments to the responses. They also said that it consumes most of their time. I know the email and everything about it. I was just talking about the commenting back possibilities.

I agree. Especially if we can relate to the topic very well. Well reading others responses is not my kind of hobby but if i know the member, i might as well read some of their responses. Thanks veronizm.

You're welcome! Well, actually I don't really read all of the responses but I just skim through them. Just to see what others would have to say and also to make sure that I would have a unique response, lol.

Thanks for sharing karaKATAD. I am glad that having a best response already doesn't concern you.

Hello levite.

I don't know that Yahoo Answer functions that way as i don't participate there. Thanks for some useful information.

Mylot really provides us many opportunity to answer a lot of discussions and interest without a limit. So that's good.

Sorry I have responded just today. Mylot is indeed better with the additional feature of rewarding us for the discussion we start.

I got confused with your statement there. So you don't mind if there's a best response already?

Hello muscles.

I have been seeing you around lately in my discussions and i am happy about it. I understand your point. it's what like everybody said and the point where we earn with what we post unlike the pest response. Really funny typo error there. peace out!

So the best response mark does not mean anything to you, then? I have tried to answer some discussions that are way too old and i see nothing wrong with it. As wel as earning a best response. I feel that i have helped someone when i received the kind of achievement. So it's somehow important and flattering for me.

Hello astonysh.

I guess i know what you feel. The last time i have responded to a discussion, he also chose me as his best response. So i told him that he must have chosen a best response a bit later than what he did. I also wait for several days before selecting one as it seems that the discussion is expired already.

When you start a discussion of your own you will then have the possibility of awarding the BR - Best Response.
Beside each response you will see a pencil and it is by clicking that when you have decided which is the most deserving that you can award it.

In the FAQs myLot tell us to wait at least a week before awarding it as many other more valuabe responses could arrive. I wait months and on some of my very old discussions which have many responses I have not awarded it at all as there are more than one that in my opinion deserve it.

Whether we earn from it is opinionable but it is a great satisfaction to receive it and it always makes someone happy

Hi mysdianait, wow thanks. That really explained everything and will be very helpful for newbies like me, except for the benefit part.hehe But I agree it must be really rewarding if you get to be awarded to be the best responder a lot of times. By the way, is it the star beside your username? So a yellow star means the number of the best response and a red star would be the number of the positive votes, I assume?? Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

@ MysD: Thank you for clearing that out to angryeve. You have always been a great help for the beginners.

@ angryeve: Hello again and i am happy that you have decided to spend some time here in the lot. Well the stars beside our user name represents our reputation. It doesn't mean that we have received that number of best responses and positive ratings. It just means that we have posted some good quality responses to other discussions and that many of the users rated us as positive. As the number increases, it means that you have a very good reputation around here. These are the colors of the stars and number corresponding it.

1- light blue
2- gray
3- brown
4- violet
5- green
6- light pink
7- silver
8- yellow
9- red
10- dark blue

Hi koala, thanks for that update. Well I guess I was totally wrong with the star colors, I never get things right lately. lol By the way, the color rankings did help a lot, cause I have been wondering about that ever since I got here on mylot, I just always seem to forget to ask someone about it. Anyway, is one the highest or the lowest? And if I don't have a star beside my username does that mean mylot doesn't consider my posts to have quality? Cause now that you've mentioned about the stars, I suddenly felt I was a loser cause I don't have one. hahahaha

Sorry, it totally lost my mind. I forgot to mention that the star will only appear after you have posted 100 responses *the number beside your user name with open and close parenthesis*. You're not a loser at all angryeve and besides, i think you have a nice reputation and quality responses. Same goes with the 200th post and 500th post. When you reach the 200th post, you can already use the mylot codes and after 500th post, you can start to use the copy and paste privilege.

Feel free to ask for help in anyone of us, i am sure all of us will help you. Good day!

Oh, i forgot to say that 10 is the highest while 1 is the lowest. Happy mylotting!

Hi koalapenguin, sorry for the late reply, I've been busy doing something. Anyway I'm so happy to hear that, it made me felt better for not yet having a star beside my username like I see to almost everyone I know here. lol I just really kept on forgetting to ask kmaram about it, I believe you know her too. I guess memory gap is hitting really early for me.lol
I'm really thankful that I crashed in to your discussion, I really really did learn a lot.=) Mwaaaah

No problem angryeve. You are always free to ask questions. I know kmaram and i already had nice conversations with her. Are you friends in real life?

No, just online... hehe

Hi koala!!!! I'm so happy I got to see my star for the first time.lol And I was surprise that it was red, that was a big big bonus for me..yehey!!! I think I wanna start calling myself happyeve instead.lol Thanks for letting me know about the stars.=)

Wow. Congratulations!A red for one of the newbies. That's a pretty good reputation, Anyway, you will still have to go through many things and the site is not all about reputation. You will eventually discover the things i am saying after sometime. So be sure to get active here and post quality responses like the one you have been posting. See you around.

I have missed the part of earning while responding even if there's a best response already. I guess we all have the same opinion with this matter and that having or winning a best response award is not a big deal at all.

Well, that's really not a big deal, unless mylot give us additional earnings for receiving best response.

Hi neil, but boogerman has proved that if you received the BR mark, your earnings will slightly increase.
