Mylot Issue on "Responder Collectors" @

the collector - of Responses.
Philippines
November 13, 2010 3:34am CST
Hello Lotters Okay, some of you are kind confused what the word means? but for some who are irritated with this issue, I am sure they get the point. So, what is supposed to mean. Let's make a good explanation on this (cough, cough): A Responder Collector - simply means a Mylot User Topic Starter that makes a Discussion on mylot.It doesn't matter how many topics He or She has made, they will get responders. but guess what? They won't respond to them.Till this day I see Myloters who makes a LOT of discussions but doesn't even bother commenting on their responders. You can't blame me on this one because I tend to comment on all of my responders. unfortunately, due to TIME CONSTRAINTS i comment on you're responders the next day or the day after that. sorry am a bit slow thinker, thanks to my internet being slow, i become slow too Okay at one Discussion, some nosy lotter said "I should watch out my words" because What If I received fifty (50) or (100) comments? So, It may be tiring but Who says i can't respond to them all. I can be lazy too but am no Sissy. For me every RESPONDER deserves a COMMENT. they took they're time, and that's how you repay them by ignoring them. I know, you're choice, but you can't expect them to be responding on you all the time. So, better comment to them just to let them know you're paying attention. Well, ALL IN ALL, It's just my opinion, but the issue is a fact Happening recently. What do you think? Have a Great day!

Hi L Knight Very good topic again and some good comments, I think I have commented on this in very detail in your last topic and I am feeling laziness to say all those words over here, if you want then you can add them over here I ll only say that be active to you responses on your discussion, I agree with you that we can be late one day or more but it doesnot mean that we ll never respond. If I am not responding to my discussion then what is the purpose of my discussion do I want people to come and talk with each other without host In your case, I really appreciate your activeness, I have seen your posts always attract a lot of people and there are many comments on your post but you never showed laziness and responded to all of them but in my case I ll never be able to handle such number of responses...:) Have a nice day dear...

Hello Saqi, Nice to see you here my friend.. Despite of you being a newbie, am just glad that you can actually comment on discussions. it seems you are really paying attention to the oldies here in mylot. that's very good to hear i believe. I wish other newbies can follow you're example. because most of them are intimidated to veterans like me. have a great day.

Hello Chowee, Despite of the Time Crisis, i believe there is still some free time for you to comment on those responses. besides, it's not me you should apologizing but to those who have responded to you're discussion. It's not me whom you were supposed to apologize, it's the responders,.

I have to admit that it takes me few days to go back and comment on those who responds to my discussions. But, I am trying my best to get back on them. Good enough that there are emails from mylot on my inbox which reminds me of those who have made a response and get back on them when I have a spare time or after finishing all my routinary works. Well, you are absolutely right, respondents whether responsive or not to our discussions deserve to be commented on because those people made efforts.

I have always felt that if the one who initiated the discussion prefers not to respond to those who have posted their comments or ideas on their discussions, then so be it. I don't really expect my posts to be responded immediately or after a long time. I don't even get notified when I do get responses most of the time. I'd understand that due to the rate of activity that goes in myLot. Some notifications gets sent to my email, some don't and I'd just be surprised when I browse either my discussions or those that I have responded to and see that I received feedback. Anyway, one may think that it is ethical to reply or respond to posts given to discussions. I do give those that responds to my discussion my feedback to ideas that they share yet, its not something that I find as an obligation that everyone must follow.

Knight, Sorry, just got confused about this part of your reply, as of today i have also checked my email. And I just did it was well just for a change, at least you're talking, right? So, as of the day that you have referred as today, you checked your email? You mean you don't do that most of the time you use your computer when you go online? Then the sentence after that, from checking email for a change to "at least you're talking, right?" I just couldn't link those two different ideas or come up with what you really wanted to say compared to the first part

hi letran I get so teed off when someone here makes forty or fifty' discussions and does not bother to comment back to us. What is a discussion if nobody will return comments to our responses. this makes no sense. they will not get paid for our responding so its to their own benefit to comment back. I do comment on all responses I get even if it takes me a week or more. this is what makes a discussion otherwise it just sits there and rots. that is foolish. we who respond deserve to be commented on.I agree with you Letran all who respond desrve a comment and not a thenks. great discussion Letran.

Hello Hatley I don't like it one bit even though some of them are in my friends-list, If they're not the type if people who don't comment back to their responders,i would just be lazy enough not to comment on them anymore. makes my hardwork response went to nothing.

Ha...The response collector...I know a few...I comment to everybody who responds and sometimes it takes a while but that is no reason for not doing it! I had a discussion once that received over 100 responses and oddly enough it was not one of my best, that’s for sure…It was something boring and trivial like ‘what is your favourite drink’ and yet ALL these people responded, go figure…Anyway I commented on each and every one of those responses…It took me a week and it was tough trying to come up with different posts! Haven’t had one like that since...

Count me out on that as I've done my job as expected of me, the starter of discussions. I too have noticed many responses with no comments from the OP and just left the responses to fate. But again there is no hard and fast rules that require every responses to be replied. It is only out of goodwill that we are obligated to respond to our responses. Even though I might not be able to comply to all in one day but still I'll try to reach out to everyone asap.

when i start my discussion i dont comment on all of it. i only comment on those who ask questions or who didnt really anything that the person ahead of him/her already put. sme thing when i respond on any discussion, i wont mind if you didnt make a comment on my respond because i wasnt after that. i usually pick discussions that i think that i have something to say to it, not because i want to talk to you and go back and forth on comments. i think thats kinda silly.

In my opinion, it was NEVER silly to me to begin. It's not a joke when people think of what they want to say and then i don't comment back? I respond myself and it's not always easy to find things to say even if I like the discussion. It's not just the talk, at least I pay attention to every one who responds. Frankly, I Feel OFF/ intensely irritated when am not commented back. it looses the will of the lotter to respond more in that users future discussions

Well my style is, whenever I start a discussion, I'll make sure to monitor it closely and after starting it, I'll leave it there and refresh every 5-10 minutes. Unless I'm sure that there are no more responses or I'm going to sleep, I'll still leave it on then close it and respond the next day, until there are no more responses.

Hello JudgeIron, Well, that's good but at least the important thing is that you get to respond to them all. it doesn't mattter if you don't comment on them immediately, as long as you comment on them. . that matters

I really admire those who give effort and time to comment to those who responds to their discussions. On the other hand, I am a bit irritated to those who keep on staring discussions but never reply to the responds on discussions. I can understand if I see a couple of discussions without reply from the starter because he may be busy but seeing a person who never comment in all his discussion is different.
• Philippines
13 Nov 10
Hello MSPitot, But of course, they should have TIME to comment back since it's no joke thinking of something to say. if they are busy then probably they shouldn't be making topics, and instead, they should find time responding to them..

I have to be honest. I sometimes become a collector. But these are the times when I really feel lazy doing some comments and just want to make it to reach 500 posts. I will then go back to some of my discussions for them to be able to receive comments from me. When my posts were still below 500, I just tend to post comments to every response if I feel like it which is not really good I know. But since I have reached my goal. I will be able to go back to those discussions. If I do this, I can easily make a big amount because there had been lots of responses from each of the discussions I have posted. And this would really be so easy because It will just have a single thought pertaining to the topic I have started. So all of us should really be thanking these other members who took time to post and share their ideas. Thank you for this nice topic which made me realize to go back again and do what I should do.
