Members Not Engaging in Chat Topics That They Have Posted

Pjran yes I would say you're right except they have been fairly generic type questions but with no right or wrong answers. I am sure others must have noticed, in fact one or two have been repeats, although the required 90 days have elapsed.

Lynibis I always try to reply people who have responded to my posts L out of common courtesy, but sometimes there are so many and people replying the same thing i am at a loss what to say back to everyone, but i always make sure i like the persons response regardless

But i do agree there should be some kind of reply when people take the trouble to contribute

Alternatively I sometimes post something i think is interesting but nobody responds to it

But that could be because its a subject people are not familiar with or maybe not interested in

I always try to make my posts humorous and light hearted in some way as we all need cheering up the way things are, then i also post serious articles that i feel might benefit someone or shows how ridiculous authorities for example can be

telmel well said. Yes, even one response is acceptable but none at all over 14 topics seems a bit strange.

Lynibis Yes i would agree there L

I think when you post is also another factor

I tend to post quite late and sometimes mine get lost further down the page as others are posted during the day , then it could be missed unless you take the time to search

Pjran Lynibis - I was not aware of replying to comments made on my posts. I always or almost give a like if I agree with the comments posted from others.

DeBunny that's fine but guidelines say you should interact and you also don't get the points unless you make at least one response so not sure why you would bother. Also There are 14 of them since beginning of May (two people) so if you have time to create a topic surely you can respond too. Probably folk think I am being petty but I have responded to every one of them (and many other members too) and I think it is nice to get a notification saying you have a like or a response, that is the definition of chat, a two way conversation.

Lynibis I didn't know they didn't get the points if they didn't interact and respond, but then I'm not just here for points, although it is an absolutely lovely incentive.

I can't see the ones you are referring too, the ones I mainly see that people don't join in with responses are members of the LD Team. Unless the others have blocked me, which I wouldn't know why

I'm just happy to be here

I understand what you are saying, there is a report option or the contact us page if you wanted to discuss this with the LD team. If I had issues with it, I'd personally just not bother responding to those people unless I wanted to answer the question and interact with the others who have responded.

Sadly if they aren't using the forum/chat properly then they might not even see this post, which would be useful for them answer.

DeBunny you have got it in your first para but I didn't want to say.

Lynibis Oh I see!

Maybe trying to get more people to interact in the chat section or gathering information for future posts, would be my guess.

Lynibis I think some members don't actually realise that the points system changed on Chat a few months ago, and still post and run, I wonder if they are actually smart enough to check their balance to see if they have got the points, probably not, they just take it for granted, I think you have to make 2 decent replies to anybody replying to your post before you get points now x

JoTarpley I thought it was one but yes you are right and I can't find the new guidelines as they are not under the chat guidelines. But if you read above your comment you will see why I am thinking it's all a bit strange.
