The concept of the điểm thưởng is wonderful. fanpop is a user based site and users should have the ability to reward others for their hard work. I also agree with the idea behind điểm thưởng Day. It should serve as a reminder to all users to give that reward. However, the điểm thưởng system has become flawed. Very flawed. I happened upon a user thông tin các nhân and saw several props. I looked to see when the user started Fanpopping and saw that it had only been two months. Wow! This person must have added tons of content. So I looked at the activity. No đường dẫn had been added, no videos, no hình ảnh (mind you, the thông tin các nhân had 5 các điểm thưởng for images), no diễn đàn activity, no picks, no câu hỏi kiểm tra các câu hỏi and one comment. This person had a total of 19 các điểm thưởng and the only activity was one comment. How could this be possible? I then looked at the individual props. Mainly they đã đưa ý kiến welcome to Fanpop, thanks for fanning me, and the like. I’m sorry; các điểm thưởng should be a reward for adding content, preferably quality content, to the site. I don’t blame the user, but I blame the Fanpoppers who give các điểm thưởng without a reason. If bạn want to thank someone for being a người hâm mộ of yours hoặc giving bạn a điểm thưởng send that person a nice message. Look at their activity and if they have added some good content, then give them a điểm thưởng for that content.

I probably should not be as frustrated as I am. After all, these people are enjoying the site and having fun. They’re not hurting me…or anyone else. It’s just the principle of the matter. The thông tin các nhân I mentioned as an example is not the only one like that. I have encountered many similar profiles where the users have các điểm thưởng for categories in which they have added nothing to the site. I work very hard, as I’m sure most Fanpoppers do, to provide good content. I’ve been on fanpop for a năm longer than my example. I also have 5 các điểm thưởng for my images. However, as of today, I have added 175 hình ảnh where this person hasn’t added any. Am I bitter? Maybe. I’m not asking for people to give me các điểm thưởng either, I even feel guilty for receiving các điểm thưởng that I don't think I deserve, (rating my content would be nice though, wink, wink, nudge, nudge). Perhaps the Fab Four could add another điểm thưởng category, an “I just wanted to say thanks and brighten your day” category. Then Fanpoppers could give that điểm thưởng indiscriminately. Until that time, however, I ask that Fanpoppers give các điểm thưởng to users as a reward for the actual content they have added.
