People who start the discussion only reply to just the few first responses?I was looking over the discussions this morning,and i saw that some mylotters will open a discussion and only reply to the first few replys,ans just forget the rest..have you noticed this...? do you feel they should reply to most or just the first 2 or 3 and let the rest go?

Well I can understand why it happens, and I suppose I can say that I am guilty of it as well. It's hard to reply to all of the discussions, especially if you have over 40, even as little as 15 it is hard to reply to them all. It takes a lot of time to do it and also the answers can be very repetitive, so it can be more so of a chore and a bit boring when you reply to them all. You still make money off of replies, but you kind of want to venture to other discussions instead of replying to each response that was posted in your own discussion. Happy mylotting and have a great day!

Well i can see why maybe you do not reply to all of them,some people just make no sense when they answer a discussion that really does not deserve a reply, i understand that,but i usually go through my replys and answer the ones who make an effort to give you a good reply...But actually i am referring to the ones that answer the first 2 or 3 and let the others go..

Don't you think you should finish what you started? It seems a bit irresponsible to start discussion after discussion without responding to the people who took the time and bothered to respond to you...that's what a discussion is after all.
If it's boring and a bit of a chore to respond to people then it was your discussion that was not very interesting, surely?
Try showing some respect to the people helping you earn...if you continue to ignore your own discussions and the people who respond...that will come back to you and fewer people will bother to respond.

Well, some of us have other chores to do and it is not always easy to reply to all responses. Who says I don't respect those who reply, I am sure you haven't responded to everything. When you get so many responses you can't always reply, you are bold to say that I don't care about what they say. If I have to repeat the same things over and over again I sometimes won't take the time to say it for the tenth time. Why don't you give me a little more respect instead of preaching it.

I think they should reply to as many as possible. I do not do them all at once. But I do go back through and reply to responses. Sometimes it gets old answering a lot of the same answers so I need to space it out a bit.

If people are nice enough to respond to me, I do my best to respond back to them. Thats what a discussion is, talking back and forth. There sometimes is a few responses that I don't make a comment, not very often though. I have noticed that some people start lots of discussions and then forget about them. I don't even know if they read their responses, they don't respond back.

Some don't respond at all. I think that it is rude and ignorant for people to do that. It leaves us wondering if they even read what we have to say. If such a person is on my friends list, I do not reply to these discussions. A discussion is a two way conversation...not one. Are the people who do that lazy or ignorant?

I guess it's because the writer will come back once or twice to reply to responses, and not keep dwelling on it. I suppose it depends on how many discussions a user starts every day. If You start heaps of discussions, it would be too much to keep going back over old ones to make sure you're replying to people. After all, discussions can be rehashed after 6 months and have another abundance of replies given!
I have a question for you now- do you feel pressured to answer all of the responses to this discussion now?!

No i do not feel pressured but i try to answer at least a few words to let the person know i care that they answered..I also do another thing ,if i cannot get to all the discussions i open ,i rate the ones that do answer with a star rating just because they were nic enough to answer..

hello friend,I think many members would like to leave the comments to the responses which responded in the discussion.Because it also will increase our earnings a lot.for me, i always leave all the comments for everyone who respond my topic.I think it is a good habit to me.whatever there is one two or many many, as long as some one respond me, i will leave the comments behind it.lol
good luck
