My box is full and I have only so much time in a day.. if you interact with me I am sure to get to your discussions.. I really don't need those suggestions.. so please I love you .. but don't love me so much as to kill me with your suggestions.. How do you feel about these suggestions?

I do not mind the suggestions. It only takes a few minutes to read them.

Same here, I don't mind them. I choose the ones I find interesting to read.

@jstory07 and @Beatburn I always get back to people who interact with me.. and they know.. why suggest your own posts. I am bored, really.

@jstory07 it depends on how many suggestions you get daily. Sometimes I have more than 3 suggestions plus all the notifications. I don't always have time for that.

I seriously think Mylot needs to fix it like bubblews has it. Where you can only suggest other people's discussions and not your own. I have no problem with suggestions from people who interact with me on mine, I think turn around is fair play. But I think it is down right [b][/b]RUDE when someone who doesn't bother interacting with me on mine, will suggest every post they write. I tend to ignore them. With all that said, might I make a couple suggestions, without filling your suggestion box?? 1.) I think you should suggest this discussion to those you are referencing to, so they get the message. 2.)It's my understanding (and I could be wrong.. perhaps @PhredWreck can verify) that the only people who can suggest to you is the people in which you follow!? Maybe 'unfollow' them?

@sofssu I completely understand. I think there are a couple who are totally over doing it. Ok, thanks for verifying that for me.

@TexanTornado Thanks sweetie.. I really didn't want to bring this up.. but I don't want to unfollow or block anyone. I am just asking people to use discretion while using the suggestion button. Yes, I have to unfollow the person to stop suggestions. Which is why i appeal.

I don't want to be overloaded with a bunch of them by the same person in one day, but I don't mind them if they are used sparingly. I also don't mind getting those that admin wrote. Sometimes I happen to miss those, so I would appreciate those if they were suggested to me.

I like the suggestions. It gives me more to respond to. But you do not want them friend? If so, just delete them.

@TiarasOceanView Yea true, it's a good topic. I like suggestions because you know someone's thinking of you :) They know too that you may like some suggestions, but others not so much. So it's no huge deal, really :)

@LadyDuck Maybe I should just close my eyes to the suggestion box and knock them all off before I check notification. They keep appearing on notification otherwise.

@sofssu Oh, okay. I thought I did send out suggestions this morning and that you were on the list. I only post once a day so there wouldn't be a lot. I never really thought that some people can get overwhelmed with them. Now, I'm wondering if I should do it or not. Being somewhat new, I don't want to cause any problems.

I have never used the button. I do see that I currently have 114 suggestions at the moment. I wonder if there is a way to clear out the messages.

%-7 suggestions in 2-3 days is awesome.. I wouldn't mind them if those people interacted with me sometime at least.

@inkyuboz @-3 a day would mean so many for your followers, they have a few others suggesting too remember.

Would you suggest all your discussions you started in a day? This is what we are talking about.. and the people who do that start more than three each day.

I don't pay attention to the suggestions. I have plenty of them myself. I might check them out one of these days, but for now, I just use the people and explore tabs to find discussions to post to, or I will start my own if Ithink of a good topic to make a discussion from.

Good to know and well pointed out I get so many notifications..right now almost 100 that i need to respond back to so when i start a discussion i suggest to all my Followers..and when i get done with my notifications, those who suggested a discussion to me are the ones i go to of discussions first..usually by then i'm to tired to look for anymore discussions. .I was looking for someone to see if he posted in Recent and saw yours right now or i wouldn't have probably seen it otherwise..Your Title got me to respond right now
