Where Have All the Props Gone?
I was catching some new opportunities in SocialSpark just the other day and I suddenly noticed that all the props that I gained in my profile dropped to zero. I checked other profiles too – even the bloggers with the most friends got zero props in their profile.
When I checked the IZEA forums it seemed that everyone’s props had been reset barely a week ago. Just like what had been discussed in one of their forum threads, I just could not repeat the effort of getting to everyone in SocialSpark to redo all the props as well as regain these props too.
Even the SocialSpark code of conduct stated their props/drops etiquette. It mentioned about serial prop seekers getting reprimanded. Even bad comments that sound like “propped you, hope you’d prop me back” are now being removed. UPDATE: Customer Love can break your heart by removing if you try to add too many friends at one time, solicit props just like above and put a comment that puts out a slot request for the advertiser to write an opportunity. These are grounds for having one’s account suspended, as this blogger had experienced.

I think props and drops are great, but I do not think it would affect one’s ability to get some opportunities from SocialSpark. Getting a good traffic and having a good IZEA rank is still the top choice of advertisers for screening out opportunities.
