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