Hi everyone,

I*ve noticed a growing problem in our community: some members consistently request help hundreds of times but have never contributed back (Literally ZERO time). This free-riding behavior undermines the spirit of collaboration and can drain the goodwill of those who do contribute.

Why this matters:

It creates an unfair environment where only a few give and many take.
It discourages helpers from continuing to share their time and effort.
If left unchecked, it could erode the supportive culture we*ve built.

What you can do:
Be mindful of who you*re helping, check their history before investing your effort.
Consider blocking persistent free riders who never engage in mutual support.
Encourage a healthy balance of giving and receiving help.

Suggestion:
If a user has requested help more than 200 times but has never donated or contributed back, their account should be subject to review and potentially blocked.

Check this example as attached picture, this person requested 362 times and has replied or helped other 0 time!
