I've been an active member (not as active as SOME
) since I joined 3/17/14, so what 18+ months? In that time, I've managed to accrue 1 infraction (someone ticked me off - hot buttons, gotta love it) and 2 warnings (One ticked me off too, but I controlled myself the other, I talked about moderation) and I have over 1030 posts... I'm not on here just randomly passing out ovations... and I really don't understand why they'd be restricted on someone who's been here so long and been a good member...
Maybe because I only have 189 ovations myself? I'm not trying to give myself an ovation but others who deserve them...
I guess if I paid for a golden feather membership I'd be buying a little more freedom to acknowledge when someone posts something worthwhile? Or maybe not... I sometimes wonder...
