The concept of the प्रॉप is wonderful. फैन्पॉप 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 प्रॉप Day. It should serve as a reminder to all users to give that reward. However, the प्रॉप system has become flawed. Very flawed. I happened upon a user प्रोफ़ाइल 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 लिंक्स had been added, no videos, no तस्वीरें (mind you, the प्रोफ़ाइल had 5 प्रॉप्स for images), no मंच activity, no picks, no क्विज़ सवालों and one comment. This person had a total of 19 प्रॉप्स and the only activity was one comment. How could this be possible? I then looked at the individual props. Mainly they कहा welcome to Fanpop, thanks for fanning me, and the like. I’m sorry; प्रॉप्स 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 प्रॉप्स without a reason. If आप want to thank someone for being a प्रशंसक of yours या giving आप a प्रॉप send that person a nice message. Look at their activity and if they have added some good content, then give them a प्रॉप 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 प्रोफ़ाइल I mentioned as an example is not the only one like that. I have encountered many similar profiles where the users have प्रॉप्स 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 फैन्पॉप for a साल longer than my example. I also have 5 प्रॉप्स for my images. However, as of today, I have added 175 तस्वीरें where this person hasn’t added any. Am I bitter? Maybe. I’m not asking for people to give me प्रॉप्स either, I even feel guilty for receiving प्रॉप्स 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 प्रॉप category, an “I just wanted to say thanks and brighten your day” category. Then Fanpoppers could give that प्रॉप indiscriminately. Until that time, however, I ask that Fanpoppers give प्रॉप्स to users as a reward for the actual content they have added.
