does anyone use the mark as best response option for post?? i unknowingly clicked on it once, and i think the thread got closed. Is there any way to revert and reopen the thread?? i have not yet got the best response for it, as a matter of fact.

Marking a persons comment as a 'best response' lets other people in the myLot community know that you think this person is very opinionated or articulates well. Basically, whoever you think is the best comment for your discussion, you can 'award' them the 'best response'. Users with many 'best responses' are usually considered to convey their opinions accross very well. Notes on myLot rating: -Two types of rating (positive/negetive and 'best response') -Tells users what kind of person you are -Increases star rating -Good responses earn more in myLot, a best response will let you know that you have made a verry good response -Keeps from users making bad/un-opinionated comments

that was really good answer, clears everything beyond doubt. This time I marked yours as best response, not by accident, but voluntarily.

I always use that feature. You should give credit where credit is deserved. People who generally give one or two word discussions or replies get a negative response from me. I believe once your thread is closed you cannot reopen it either.

but does adding a best response, distract other people from posting onto myLot??

I always chose a best response for my posts, I give credit to those who take the time to respond respectfully to my questions. Also, chosing a best response doesn't close the thread, people can still respond to the discussion. You just can't pick another best answer. The answer you've chosen as best by accident... you're stuck with it.

i used it once..that was the first time i ever made a post..i dont think the thread got closed..it was still active..and then later, i read somewhere that once the best response is picked, they dont reply to those threads..its like you pick the best response from all the replies..and you have to choose when the thread should close..i stopped choosing it since then..
