Hello Lotters, Even though I am making this discussion, i still have trouble commenting on others response. to be frank, it's only been recent that I've been receiving a lot of responses and i haven't got a clue why? i guess to some it's relatively tiring responding to the same or almost similar discussions at most. but there are different discussions out there and just take more time to look at it. As for the topic starters like, there has been a few lotters here that starts too many discussions. and yet, they left only a few comments on some responders. Do yourself a Favor, respond to ALL of them, they will deeply appreciated it. but for so many topics that you made, you get confused on what to comment next, or which under topic. Let me say this "ONE DISCUSSION AT A TIME" focus on one. then once you're done with commenting responses on that discussion, proceed to the next one. i think mylot responders understand it since they start topics too. Anyway, share you're thoughts. this is ALL just my Opinion by the way. Have a Nice and Cool Day

it depends^^ me i used to create many discussions and answer almost all^^ i always saw what comments i had and comment to people back^^ i always appreciate when people comment in my discussions. but yes maybe if you create one and see comments maybe is ok but you can first create discussions, attach images and then just comment your own and other people discussions^^ this way is more organized and earn more^^

I do not agree completly with you. Even though I just pleaded mylot to do something about those people who spam the site with their 1 line posts, I think that each person has his own method of being here and sometimes it is not only commenting but you want to read something new. Take care!

I comment when I am interested and when I have the time. I do not spend my time in saying "thanks for responding" when there is nothing to comment really. I get sometimes 30 or more responses. Sometimes they are very interesting and people have thought of what to answer before responding. Other times you can see they are just earning a penny.

Hello marguicha, If that is the case, then i wouldn't want to respond on those people that are too lazy to comment on my responses to them. when i respond on to something, i expect some one to comment on it. what's the worth of reading something new if the topic starter isn't going to comment on you anyways.have a great day

This is my practice. I just post one discussion at a time. I make sure that I read every response and comment back on them. Besides I am not really very fond of starting a discussion. I most of the time respond to others' discussions. Thus, whenever I have a discussion of my own that is because I have a valid question in my mind that I would like to be answered.

Hello IP5217, Well, what i mean to say is that in order for you to focus commenting on all of you're responders in every discussion that you made, do it one discussion at a time. some users makes tons of discussions and doesn't comment at least in one of they're responders..

hello Letran, That's very true my dear bro. There is one mylotter here who starts discussions,(thu not too many at a time)but almost everyday starts 2-3 topics and i never received any comment back. Okay,i understand he might be busy,but,what the h*ck you started a discussion and you never comment back,why this is called a thread forum then I replied few of his discussion (since most are really good one) but i stopped when for a 100 times i never received any comment back (aha,i am not demanding for a comment back to all my responses,but with one particular mylotter whom i responded a 100 topic,do i sound demanding nah? ) Have a good day always dear bro

Hello Jaiho, I don't want to respond to those people, because that means they don't want to read you're response. or specially those who only comment on whom topics that they do have a say or likely that would start an argument.

I agree. It is really difficult for me to do multiple discussions in a day. There are people who will respond to you which I feel that I have to comment to them. I also want to participate to my friends' discussions and it is very confusing to have many discussions in a day.

I think this must be a rule here, in myLot. No user should start another discussion until he has no more responses to comment in his last discussion. Wouldn't it be a relief? Because we see so many discussion started by one user, and there are no comments to the responses. I've created a habit not to respond to the discussion of the users who start 3 or 5 (or more!) discussion in a row. From my experience here, those kind of users don't ever come back to the discussion they started, and, as I like to discuss, I don't want to loose my time on question/answer topics.

No, my dear fjaril, you didn't understand what I ment. I'll try to explain it better. Here's how I think this rule has to work: When you try to start a new discussion, there should be a notification from myLot to tell you that at that moment you have un-commented responses into your old discussions. You should not be able to start a new discussion until you comment all the responses from your older discussions. Then, when there are no more responses to comment at that moment, you should be permitted to open a new topic. Of course that you can get new responses to your older discussion later, but you should respond to all of them before starting a new one. I didn't say that you should wait 2 weeks until all myLotters responded to your older discussion. I stressed it, and I'll do it again: no response without a comment from you at that moment! Was I clear now? Anyway, this rule is only in my dreams (and maybe, in others few myLotters' dreams) but I wanted to calm you that there is no risk for your new discussions.

Hello Inu, I have read you're response, sadly I don't agree with it.. because if that happens, the mylot users would be hard time remembering the next discussion at hand. thus, letting them forget about it and move on. if that would have happened in my case, i would have gotten lazy making more. that's why this advice is effect for topic starters to focus on which topic they should be commenting they're responses to.

Hi Letran I totally agree with you but People just do not seem to think that it is polite to respond back after a Member has taken the time to respond to them I try my best to get back to them as soon as I can but sometimes it takes me a while to get back to the Discussion straight away, but I do get back to it and that is what counts, to be recognized for responding

Hi Letran, I actually don't have a problem with those that start lots of discussions. I know of some that do and they actually do take the time to respond back to them. If they are ridiculous nonsense discussions then I ignore them as they'll more than likely get deleted anyway. If they are decent discussions and the poster does not respond back, well, that is not my problem. That person does not earn anything on those discussions unless he is active on them but we who take the time to respond do earn. It's their loss...not mine. Personally, I don't start to many discussions but that's just me. I don't have a problem with someone starting several.

Hello Sid, Some users out there, even in my circle of friends makes discussions and yet they don't comment back. so, i would respond to one of their discussions, if i don't see them commenting back, i wouldn't respond to their discussion. of course, i can be guilty of this, i tried my best to look on their topics. but if i can't relate then i got no choice but not to respond.

oh letran do not say have a cool day we have had the oddest weahter for sou thern california down to 40 at might a few more degrees we wo uld ve freezing and up to 70 for high, weird weather. I agreeeif i do one discussion every few days I can keep up with the comments as I owe that to the people my friends to comment on their responses. after all they did me the honor of responding to me so I must be at least as kind back.Some are doing way too m any and I will bet that they do not have enough time to comment back. so the discussion just sits there, not going anyplace not being discussed at all.Some make so many discussions in one day that their last ones contain maybe four or five words and are so inane I notice a lot of people will not reply at all. and thats sad.if only they had done fewer and spent a little more time on the ones they did do they would get better responses and have more time to comment back. I find on the days I do a lot of commenting I earn a lot more than usual. so it pays in a lot of ways to comment back on all the responses you get.

I agree with you entirely LetranKnight. I used to start a few discussions every week but it’s been many months since I’ve done that because it was becoming a stress attempting to comment on all the responses. It’s not that I wrote particularly popular posts it was just that even a few responses on each were a fair amount of work! I think there should be a rule that states you can only start one discussion every few days or something along those lines. I don’t like it when people churn out post after post and don’t bother to comment on any of the responses!

Hello Paula, I can tell based on my experience that it's reallyhard to respond to all of them. well, if we are limited to start discussions, where is the excitement on that. I am very sure that it's not that bad, we have a choose to respond or not. it's just that we can choose to whom we are supposed to respond to.

I try to reply to all my responders unless I am really at a loss for words. There are responses that I have no idea how to reply. But I did notice a few mylotters who would post a lot of discussions but never reply to them. I have difficulty keeping up with several discussions at a time and so I limit myself to one discussion until I have replied to all - that is, when I have the time. The advantage of doing this is that you are concentrating on one topic and so you can make quality responses that will earn more for you.

Hello ADvocate, Yes, most aren't commenting at all. so that's why i respond to those only who can comment back. well,this is one good thing because in my experience, we get confused that we end up thinking here and there which topic is better respond or comment to.so, this is my recommendation to people who start too many topics.

Hello nangisha, I think topics that starts with questions are often times interpreted as POLL subjects i think. well, you can always find other people to respond their topics too. there's nothing wrong with that. never give up looking for better discussions. besideswe are all free to choose.

What you said makes a lot of sense to me.This is because I found number of topics talking about the same point,although the situation and people are different.To be frank,we are all dying for some fresh topics do ya'?

Hello Razors, well, that's one reason why i don't make much topics because i need to think over or open something that is already on my head. it's hard to make topics when we all knew that it has some similarities to the other topics. i like it to be unique and at least not some question being asked.
11 Nov 10
in a way it can get quite tiring responding to topics that are similar to something we have already done before. It is only polite though to respond to people who are our friends aswel as other mylotters. I try to respond to everyone that i can but as i work and im a single parent it is hard to get much time on here.

Hello Craigy, Well, you can start topics on you're own. the only thing I am trying to point out in this discussion is that when you start so many discussion, respond to those responses that you get at one discussion at a time. I do respond to other peoples discussion but i don't want them leaving wondering why i didn't respond to their topics.

I think it is fine to start many discussions as long as you can handle it. Some people start a lot of discussions and write very few comments or no comments at all, and in that case I don't think that it is a good idea to start many discussions at once. But there are also people start many discussions and still manage to comment on all the responses, maybe not straight away but after a while. I don't start that many discussions, but I sometimes I start more than one discussion on the same day, and I like that. I have never been a person who likes to finish one thing before I start the next, and I like to do several things at the same time and jump around from one thing to another. I like to comment on some of the responses on the first discussion, then move on to the second discussion, the third discussion etc. Afterwards I return to first discussion and write some more comments and that way I continue. I like to write about more than one topic at the same time instead of focusing on one topic at a time. I can't handle 20 topics or something like that, but 3 or 4 topics is not a problem

hi knight! i usually post one discussion at a time but i am not active in posting discussion.there is a time i posted two discussion and still manage to reply to those responses.usually i will take my time to finish reply them in one day since my discussion doesn't need others to reply them ASAP so i will wait till a few weeks so i can reply to them at one time.sometimes i do feel annoy with those who starts so many discussions in a row and never reply them ever.some of them will reply to you but in a very short sentence-thank you for your response~hmm...i don't like this kind of reply.this is not pointed to those who starts many but still spend some time to reply back to us in not short length of sentence.
