Best Response.

Okay I am wondering if there are many out there that give best responses and also receive them. I work hard to answer questions, giving my deep thought on what they are asking. I notice that many dont select a best response, at least the ones that I answer. So if you often notice that some wont select a BR will you skip to another discussion? Or even make it less extensive? Thank you! ~C~

I would not, because I am still giving my thoughts on the post, and that is important. Granted, if I see the post later on and I clearly had the best response I would be a little disappointed, but getting a best response is not why I post in subjects. I do it because I enjoy the subjects I post in.

Thank you for answering this discussion. I appreciate your answer. I am not always looking for a BR, of course I know that would not be possible. But when I work really hard on answering many discussions I just wonder if my answers are being read. ~C~

Hi ladygator, I am a newcomer to mylot so I have given a Best response...when I post and go back to respond backs if its a good response and the best to my post, I have given best response but it is not something I do on a regular. What I do is rate most of the post if its a postitive I rate it (+)...if I don't like the post I will not rate it (-) because its someone elses opinion and who am I to judge someone elses opinion because I don't agree with them... As old as I am, I remember that my mother use to tell me that if you don't have anything good to say to or about someone, then don't say anything at all....and I do try to live by that everyday and in every way.... I don't base my response BR or not...can you tell me if its that important to your earnings????

Well, I will admit that I am far behind in responding back to all my discussions as well as giving a Best Response for all of them, but I do try and respond back when I can and give out Best Responses. My problem is trying to keep up with Friends discussions that they have started as well as responding back in mine, but I do what I can when I have Free time. But there are a lot of people Yes that never respond back or give out Best Responses in Discussions that they start.

I always try to be sure to go back to the started tab. For my discussions and check on who was the last person to comment and if it wasnt me then I make it a point to head back into the discussion and respond. I do this even if I have already seleted a BR. Because I just like to be sure to give my feed back to the people that have taken the time to respond.

I only give BR to responses that are very good. But sometimes I have problems with that to as I get far too many responses and I think that at least a couple of weeks must go by before I do it. Then I forget. As I know it doesn´t mean anything as money goes , I don´t mind not doing it. But I do rate some good answers as I read them. The ones I reate more are those with a plus. They are answers that teach me something.

I agree with you on this one. It is hard sometimes to select someone. I usually wait until I have more responses from people just to be sure that its fair. I do however give everyone a + that responds to my discussion. But I do try my best to come back and check to see if their were any more responses. No matter how much time has gone by I will still add a response to them.

I don't select a BR for every discussion. Sometimes I don't think that there is a perfect response, different from the other, that deserves to be selected. If I'm impressed, I give a BR right away, without waiting.

Thats what I was thinking, is that sometimes a BR wont fit in.

Maybe the moderator will select the best response in the discussion we made. More response is a big chance of being best response. I am also wandering about my discussion submit, no one is committing. I think it not so hard. Please need your response, i want also to earn. Thanks to my friends.

Hi there Boylopez I just came by to see who had responded and go to the ones that I have not yet responded. I dont think that the moderator will chose thats just not something that they would do. As the best response is picked by the person who has started the dicussion. Its really their opinion as to who they think has answered with the best one in their opinion.

Hi... I was this crazy about getting a BR at one point of time.. But later I recognized that it did not really mean anything... It would boost my self-esteem, true; but there was no use.. I would not avoid an interesting discussion for anything... I would certainly participate and discuss the thing thoroughly... We need to remember that the purpose of being here is to learn and widen our knowledge... We don't wanna lose that chance for anything less important... Good Luck!!!

I agree with you, and as of late I dont really put to much thought into it. Like you said its a nice little boost to see that. I dont aoid discussions based on that, I will still respond een if a BR has been selected already. If its something that I can contribute to. Thanks ~C~

I give out best responses as well as receive them. Okay, so I give out more than I receive, or so it seems LOL, but I do get them every now and then. I don't really pay attention if someone marks BR or not. If I get BR, great. If not that's okay too. Either way I only respond to discussions that catch my interest...that is, if I have time to respond to them. Otherwise I may just pass on it or save it for another day. Happy mylotting!

Hi there! Thanks for responding! I am like that. Its hard sometimes to choose. Then I just look to the ones that hae tried the best to answer my comment completely. But I always post to what is interesting. And I try to respond to my friends each time.

hi ladygator there is no money paid for getting one or giving one and no I do not skip a discussion if there is not a best response. Thats the shallowest of shallow outlooks. To begin with we are asked by the admins to wait at least a week to allow people to see and respond first before just giving out a best response. I have given them and gotten them .I have got behind as I have been ill. how in the devil do you know who gives best responses and who does not and any way is'that any of your concern. best responses are not som ething we are tpold we must do. its a pat on the back and if you are here just to get best responses think again. just enjoy h ave fun and mind your own postings and you will do great. the admins polices us and we do not need br, police harassing us. how many I give or do not is not anyone's concern but my own,.If I do not get a best response I do not get upset as thats not what I am here for . I am here to enjoy , have fun and make a little money.Some may be ill or away or any number of reasons so why waste your time checking up on users here.

Thanks for your response. I had not thought about it making more earnings for having br. I think that I must hae worded my discussion wrong. Because that is not the deciding factor on my responses. I was wondering what was on the minds of other mylot members. I still answer as completely as I can and offer what I can to each one. ~C~

I have received a couple of times a best response and have gave some. Not that i dont do so many discussions i cant exactly give out best responses. And sometimes it is hard to choose when there is the right discussions with plenty of onsighting views.

I am so guilty! Sorry Mylotters, I have some discussions with over 30 responses and it is so overwhelming when I think about trying to figure out who I should give a BR to! I am not going to lie and if it offends anyone, I am so sorry! =( The past couple of days matter of fact I have been giving best responses to my smaller discussions because it is not so overwhelming! I don't mind if I don't get a BR and I will still go back to their discussions! =)

There are few mylotter,who,give best response so quickly that it is difficult for other to respond thier. Giving Br mean that you don't want more respond in it but i usualy respond like of these only few of them if it interest me too much. Also we are here to earn and learn getting br is not that tedious one which we mean. I almost all of my most of reply have not got no br and supposed not to get one as it niether give money nor improve our stars.

Kundanraj, Thank you for your response. Its appreciated I am not sure that once they put up a BR then they dont want any more responses. I didnt know for sure or not if it would award more money. I just think its nice to recognize someone that has worked extra hard to respond with a well thought answer. ~C~

Hi Bubuth, Thanks for your response. I get an email that its been chosen as BR but I dont look for it either. Once I do get one, I go back and thank them. Other than that unless it was a good discussion back and forth I dont go back to that particular one either. Its just a pleasant surprise thats all. ~C~
