Well I may as well have my two penniworth worth, if it's worth even that?
Personally I don't need 'thanks', a gold star or a paper hat to post something I hope is useful to someone. If a member can't give a bit of news, open a debate, post a freebie, a good offer or tell a joke freely without the pressure of someone wanting to criticize they didn't remember to thank someone in order for them to get a rewarded shares, well I think this just about sums up what's wrong with Britain today but I won't go there!
In conclusion, I don't think there should be any shares at all for posting anything on the forum. I think it's a bit gimmicky and leaves the site open as a target for other sites to shoot at. I also feel it can cause unwelcome animosity among members. Bearing in mind I could make comment about my big left toe and still get awarded a share the whole share thing is a bit downgrading I feel. I'm just content being able to earn a few bob and have shares awarded ligitimately with purchases or earnings.
Go on shout me down, you know you want to!
Remember the best freebie you'll ever get came with your kit, it's called a sense of humour it's just that some came more developed than others.
