I've seen a lot of people use loveits as "currency". I've seen a case that went like this: One person had a os simulation on Scratch. We'll call it 123X-OS. Now some other username wanted to use the name as their own os. So the person who originally made 123X-OS allowed the 2nd person to use the "123X-OS" name in exchange for a loveit on all projects.

I've seen similar scenarios, so the question is should this be allowed?

My Opinion: NO

Yeah, loveits really shouldn't be used as "bribes" in any case. It's not quite morally "right." Especially considering that user doesn't actually "love" the project. smile

But sometimes it can be used to say 'I like you'.

I've never really liked the concept of using love-its as "currency"; I'd rather have a few legitimate love-its from people who actually liked my project than lots of fake love-its attained some other way.

I agree, there are more fake loveits out there than real ones and nobody seems to use the feature.
