I see this happening many times.Personally I make it a point to respond to every comment I receive for my discussion topics but when I post a comment or even others for that matter , when they respond dont get any feedback from the member even when he/she is quoted on a relevant point and information provided.This happens on other discussion sites too, probably more so ....
How does one deal with that other than ignore the whole thing...I know of members who pm me and remind me about their responses but largely ignore when I respond to their discussions..

"I know of members who pm me and remind me about their responses"
Really? There are some who do that too? I guess they think that they earn when others respond on their topics
I am not concerned when my responses don't receive comments. It is sad that there is no chance to further the topic after a comment arrives but as there are always many others on other topics, I don't mind if some skip mine
I am behind with comments on my own recent topics as I have not been here regulalry but by the week-end I will have caught up with them all, promise!

Hi diana,
I feel It is more a matter of having many members taking an interest in their discussion topic than anything else...It somehow defeats the purpose when someone asks you something and you take the trouble of finding some relevant points that might help the person and then dont get any fed back...I feel that is not a very nice to thing to do. However,nothing much can be done about such things ...It happens with all of us that we get caught up with something and dont get enough time to post here but as long as we are aware and make the effort at least at a later stage that is ok...all the best and have a great evening

I definately agree that the whole point of a discussion is to discuss, interact and get a conversation going but if there are a few who don't seem to understanf that then never mind. There are certainly many who gave realised and therefor one bad apple will not, in this case, spoil the entire basket

I start from the beginning when I am catching up, not from the end, therefore posting on a Thursday will put you to the back of the list

I don't really let it bothers me when I don't get at least some acknowledgement of my response or comments. I just move on and take it as not every one can or cares to relate to my posts...
There was an incident that did bother me. It was when I was being singled out as all responses and comments in boxes above and below were acknowledged except mine.
I accept that the OP might have his/her reasons for that; but since then I just stay away from his/her discussions.

Hi sishy, what I was asking was something different.When a member asks for a specific detail and you take the trouble to look it up and post in his/her discussion and don't get even an acknowledgement does it bother you ? As for anyone taking part in our discussion, it is of course left to them , one cannot really expect that..
I am in fact telling you about some similar incidents that bothered you.Some members do that and you begin to wonder why that happens ? Thanks a lot for sharing your views sishy, have a great day

Hi Kiran!
The answer to your question is in affirmative. However, I've started taking it on my stride. I know dear friends here do not fail to post their comments on my responses or even on my discussions, therefore, whenever possible, I try to post my responses to the discussions started by friends.
If I find that my responses are being ignored means no comments are forthcoming, I stop posting my responses to that particular mylotter. It makes me feel that my responses are not being read/understood and acknowledged.
I have missed few of your discussions recently (and may be in the past few months) due to pre-occupation with office work (hope you won't take it otherwise
).
Have a great day!

Yes, comments are needed on my responses and if anyone is ignoring my response, s/he would be struck off the rolls.

LOL, thats true, more so when oyou take the trouble to provide some relevant points that is adding information and members are happier discussion some irrelevant points .Once I while I was discussing a member asked me for some specific details and I posted the details after which never got an acknowledgement. I though he may not have seen it so sent a message saying that I had given to relevant information on his thread, still no response, but when I went to the topic the member is busy discussing so many other things on the same thread which means that he has come across my response.I left it at that...later I get a message fro him asking me to look up his new discussion and respond to it...
Of course I dint bother..

It does bother me sometime but most of the time I negect it thinking that the member must be busy in their work or may have forgotten to come back to their post and read what I have mentioned. It's happen my friend even such thing do had happen in my case too.

Hi sriroshan, thanks a lot ffor your response, I agree it does bother, esp when you take up the trouble to look up some information for someone else and they dont even bother to acknowledge it...if they have not logged in , then it is fine but when they respond to other posts in the ssame discussion it is not fair...I guess you have to become very thick skinned, which by now I have become lol - all the best and enjoy your day

Hi- I don't mind if some one does not respond back to my responses because the choice is entirely theirs. I keep giving response to them if they are in my list of friends up to a limit, if they are not interested, I too am not very keen. I have a certain limit and stop after that. I come here for the sake of fun this is not my regular business, Cheers.

I'm don't feel bad if there has been no comment to my response, by the discussion starter or any other members. I know that each time someone responses to a discussion, the starter receives a notification of the same. So he/she must have read my response. If they find it useful they'll implement it or rate it as best response. I don't expect a comment unless the issue remains unresolved or an user wants to know more. And anyways, "thank you" comments are not allowed. So if there is no comment to a response, its not that users are ignoring it. But just that there is nothing much to inquire about it. If an user is serious and started a discussion to seek truth or help, I'm sure he/she will go through every response. Comment is secondary. I myself don't comment to every response. But I'm ignoring none. I go through all of them. I only add a comment when the picture is unclear, I need more information or if I have something useful to add or suggest to the responder. I feel bad only when I start a discussion and receive few or no response at all. Good day!

Hi MIMO, thanks a lot for sharing your views
I am not talking about feeling bad when no one comments because that is their choice , but when you comment on someones discussion and more so when you provide some information asked by them on your thread and they dont bother to get back to you or acknowledge your contribution... It is not about members not responding to my discussions..

I think most probably it is not possible to respond to all the discussions and most probably we might need to respond with time. I most time responded very slowly and also comments to the discussions very slowly, but will try to respond as far as possible.

Hi ajithlala, thanks a lot for sharing your views ..unless we add on there is no way a discussion moves forward thats my feeling and when someone specifically asks for some details we should respond when we have some information, but when those members do not acknowledge it it shows a lack of concern...all the best have a nice evening

Nothing at all. It doesn't matter to me. You know why? I won't loss anything, as we all know our earnings are calculated base on our activities or participation. It means we cannot earn from others post.
Example: If we post a discussion and hundreds will response, we cannot earn from them. The only thing help us to increase our earnings when we comment back to their post because we are creating a participation to ourselves. Am I right? So concentrate to your posted discussions, comment back to all posted leave by any members of myLot. Don't cut the thread until your responder stop.

That is one way of looking at it ,purely from the earning angle. But when you want to discuss and also impart information and there is no response from a member on whose thread you have posted, the discussion stops there and has no chance to go further which is suchh a waste..

I have often written long responses where I tried to give advice or share my knowledge or experience about the topic that the member wanted to discuss. Sometimes I get a comment and sometimes I don't. It is always nice to know that the member who started the discussing acknowledge my response and comment on the things that I have written and I always appreciate that, but I don't get disappointed when I don't get a comment. Some members comment on a every response, some members comment on some responses and the leave others without a comment and some members don't comment at all. I know that I can't expect to get a comment every time, so I just appreciate the comments that I get

Hi Porcospino, thanks a lot for sharing your views
I agree that one cannot expect to get a comment every time you post, however, when you respond to a specific topic and that too after the members message you and request you to do so, and then to simply ignore your response is not fair, I feel !! However, you just post and then forget it and move on to the next one...all the best and have a wonderful day

At first I'm bothered with it. But then I learned and experienced that there are notifications that I miss and unless I open each discussions I've started one by one and read it all over again, I'll never know that there are new responses. I do try to respond to it all.

Hi Raine, thanks a lot for your response .Sometimes responses are repetitive and one tends to skip, but I never do it since I feel that having responded to my discussion the least I can do is to acknowledge it...Any new response given by a member comes up on your profile page, thats not a problem, one can easily keep track of it ...

Hi jodipay, it has nothing to do with respect or not respecting just the attitude.Some times when we look up some information and post it , it is but natural to wait for an acknowledgement at least...Thanks a lot for sharing your views and have a nice weekend

Hi ztuberi, thanks a lot for your response, actually what I was referring to is when people ask you to respond to their discussion through PMs and when you do that , they just ignore your post, which I feel is not very polite...All the best and have a nice evening
