Are you agree with me? More discussions means less responses

I observed when mylotters started more discussions like 10 or 15 then they not got more responses on every discussions because they cant comment back on all. In reverse if we started only 2 or 3 discussions daily and comment back to all then received more responses. What you think this is right.

I read in rules that don't have to tanks for answers in your topics, so I'm confused about that?!

Ohhhh God you have no answers of my topic. I am asking if you are starting 10 to 15 discussion in a day then you can received more response on each discussion. I think it is not possible. What you think.

It depends on the topic. From what I have seen, some of the topics are very similar in topic. As a result, people will choose to reply to either one of it.

I think you have made a very interesting and important discovery here my friend! I know I do not start a lot of discussions because I really do not have the time to respond properly. But when I do think of something or have a rant I will start one.. I just prefer to comment on others most of the time!.. like yours!

Yes sweet smily friend really this is true when any mylotter start 10 or more discussion I watch no more responses on their discussion but when person started only 1 or 2 discussion lots of responses are there. I started daily discussion but only 1 or 2 no more. Comment back is also hard if started more discussion. Thanks to tell my discussion is good.

This is 100% sure friend if we are write more discussions then we not maintain quality because at a time lots of quality discussion is not in our mind and if a single person started 10 to 15 discussion it is not possible for us to respond on every discussion. I started only 2 to 3 topics in a day and maximum time my discussion is appeared in mylot digest.

I agree with you on that. As much as I can, I post only few discussions so I can manage to reply with everyone on my posts. :)

Yes. I often find, a member of MyLot, making the discussions very much. And just get a few responses. I agree with you, by making a little discussion, and respond to all comments received, will make the discussions that gave us a lot of response.

Hi Surekharathi, that depends on the topic. Some topics are very popular, and you can get a hundred responses. Once i started two such threads within a day, and both ended up with more than a hundred responses each. I spent a week in replying to everyone. Now i do not bother to search for interesting questions to ask. I just do as I please.

I couldn't agree with you more on this one. I know that if a person that starts a lot of discussions is one of my friends then I will try to respond to all of the discussions that the person starts, but I have also noticed that a lot of the people that start a ton of discussions rarely comment back on the responses that they get. However, when people start fewer discussions I see that they do take the time to comment back on the responses that they get to the discussions that they've started.

It really depends on who is writing the discussions. If the discussions are done by a friend of mine who writes good discussions, then I will respond to as many as I can.. but if someone does numerous discussions that merely ask a question .. or they are just one liners, I will not respond because they will likely be deleted and I don't like losing money.

Yes. I really agree with you. Some MYLOT friends are starting so many discussions per day. Some time it will easy or tough. Some people are starting easy discussions. They get so many responses. But they couldn't comment back on.

yes you are right, absolutely right i think. we will get more responses when we post less. if we post too much, it will make our friends confused, from where they have to start comment. maybe mny person think that, with many discussions, they will get more responses.but that is wrong, try to be effectively. that was the best.

I am pretty new here in mylot and I have already figured that one out. A discussion has to be a discussion or it is only a topic. You need to converse back and forth to make it a discussion, simple and easy to understand. But some people don't get it, and then they wonder why they don't earn much and then they don't stay around for long. I added a friend when I first signed into mylot and I got so many emails from her discussions being started that it was just filling up my email box too much. Some days she would start 40 or 50 discussions. I don't think she ever posted a response or comment. I say this because I have read quite a few of them and she never posted a comment on any one of them. After about 3 weeks of her filling up my email box I deleted her as a friend, If I at least could have responded to a few of her discussions I wouldn't have minded so much but I couldn't say anything to them because they were all news stories from her country and I had no interest in them and had nothing to say about them. I noticed that very few of her discussions had any responses at all on them. Well, good luck my friend, littlemissy

we have choices, but also moral and social responsibily. i think when me start adiscussion and get many responess, we have responsibily to answr or response the discussions. if we dint do that, i think it is much better if we dont start any discussion. people may get angry if we dont response when they say hello to us

Yes friend if we are getting responses then we should also comment back. For intersection with our friends comment back is good habit.

Hello ther, This seems to be a 'catch 22' type of question I believe. You believe that fewer started discussions may lead to more responses, so increasing mylotters earnings. Sadly you have just started a new discussion whic possibly means less responses and even fewer replies to other peoples comments from yourself, which in turn wold mean a decrease in your's and everyone elses earning potential. If that makes any sense. It all goes round and round, just like catch 22. Dammed if you do and dammed if you dont. Have a cool relaxing day.

I cant quite get how to post discussion though. One time i posted a topic on something and guess what i did not get any responses at all not till after a week or so then some responded. And until now that topic still remain one response. So im more of responding than posting topics.

Yes. I agree with you. It is nice to start 2 or 3 excellent discussions -- continue replying for responses received. Then we can do full justice. If more discussions are started the responses are certainly less. I also start one or two discussions only whenever I want to. goo day. But your discussions --I will respond mostly.

Yes you are right because to be a discussion have to be conducted by somebody, so we can not create a discussions and just leave, because one the people in the future won't feel motivate to respond to our discussions, and two if abandone it, it is not a discussion anymore.
