Fanpop So we know that people get medals from other people "fanning" their material...but do you think that the people that "do" the fanning should get a medal as well?

Maybe...it does seem like participation of that kind should be rewarded. But I don't know how significant it should be. I don't think it would be right to get a medal just for rating things, but it should contribute it seems like.

I can't decide if this is pro-medal whore, or just a simple question...

I have always been an advocate of active rating being a contributor to the medal system. Of course, for all we know it could be.
So its another one of those things that medal whores would abuse which would actually be kinda nice for the rest of us.

Some people (like me) would simply just start fanning everything to get a medal

Hmmm I'm on the fence now...I honestly take the time to fan something if I like it ...and I know alot of people dont fan at all so I was thinking for those who do should get reward...but after reading everyone elses thoughts...I totally see their points..

Well i think this was actually speculated once (as in 2 or so years ago) that it may have actually been part of the whole medal system (that and commenting) but they may have removed that as groups were made to just rate things and it ruined the whole point of it.

Bad idea, I think. As others have said, people would use it too much to their advantage.

I think it should be counted as contribution.
Making it easier to get a medal, not being able to get a medal just for fanning though.

Else people would just fan indiscriminately to get a medal more quickly

All types of contributions and club activity does count towards medals, but I think adding content counts more than just reacting to it, and I think commenting also counts more than just fanning or favouriting stuff.
