Now, I प्यार प्रॉप्स as much (or more) than the अगला person and when I go to my page and see that someone has दिया me a प्रॉप I am in a happy little bubble for the rest of the day. I think this is a wonderful feature so that people can be recognized for their outstanding work. However, there is a etiquette that goes along with giving props. प्रॉप्स are something आप should give if आप feel that a person has contributed something funny, substantial, unique, outstanding, या just plain awesome in your eyes. They are essentially a reward for hard work that आप have done. They are like a virtual high five. They are not intended as venue for chatting with फ्रेंड्स या saying hi to someone. It is also not fitting to प्रॉप back unless आप are actually propping that person for something they did, and not just saying thanks to them for the प्रॉप they gave you. These are both things that can be done through a message. I personally प्यार messages almost as much as props, especially if they would be out of place as a prop. One thing I प्यार about फैन्पॉप is that the people on here are so positive and sweet! Sometimes they are so positive that they are a little overzealous and give people प्रॉप्स without a reason या just to say hi. I find it a little disconcerting that some people have 15 या 20 have not contributed anything. I also commonly see people who have प्रॉप्स in categories that they have not contributed anything in. For example they have 7 प्रॉप्स for वीडियो and have not contributed any videos. Benji made this AWESOME मंच on the Being Nice spot called "The Hug Topic" which is to recognize people for things that are not "prop worthy' but still deserve recognition (here's the link: link). द्वारा the way, I am not लेखन this soapbox to upset anyone; that is absolutely the last thing that I would want to do, because आप are all so awesome! However, I do think that it is important to use this and other features in the way they were intended to be used.
