Do You Do This Too?

Whenever I'm on gather, I look for the people who are so close to cashing out. For example, Tiffany v. posted that she had 84 points until cashout, so I went to her material and started commenting and rating her stuff. Another gatherer only had 8 points left so I did the same.

 

Do you find that you do this as well?

I am close to cashing out, Dan. Would you like to help me out a little bit.
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 9:39am EDT
How close are you?
Ruthi C. Oct 3, 2009, 9:40am EDT
Headed your way Connie :-)
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 9:47am EDT

Angel sent from God Secret Sisters Oct 3, 2009, 11:25am EDT

Elizabeth R. Oct 3, 2009, 9:31pm EDT

I help as much as I can.
Nancy Biri Oct 3, 2009, 9:48am EDT
I'm close to payout. I'm 83 points away
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 9:59am EDT
alright, time to look at your pics.
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 10:07am EDT
Nancy, it looks as if the cats are in charge of your house.
Nancy Biri Oct 3, 2009, 10:08am EDT
I know. They love to play and chase each other around the apartment
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 9:38am EDT
Sure thing Connie.
Ruthi C. Oct 3, 2009, 9:40am EDT
Dan, I always visit & comment those who post they're in need of a few points to cash out. And I just spent a few moments with Tiffany :-) This mornin' I'm 50 points from a $50 paypal payout, yay!
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 9:58am EDT
alright Ruthi, your pictures have been commented on.
Ruthi C. Oct 3, 2009, 10:08am EDT
Omigosh, my email has been flooded with Dan H. notifications, THANK YOU!
Elizabeth R. Oct 3, 2009, 9:32pm EDT
I visit whenever I see a new post, Ruthi.
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 9:47am EDT
Alright Ruthi, you're next. I still have 1700 points until my next $50 cashout.
James B. Oct 3, 2009, 8:03pm EDT
Nice work, Dan!
Connie L. Oct 3, 2009, 9:48am EDT
hey...thank you very much, you went way beyond what I expected. I am a couple hundred points near the cash out spot, but with you help probably will finish out before the night is over. Thanks so much!
Candice(Candy) E. Oct 3, 2009, 9:55am EDT
Yes, I Do Try to Help Out Every Chance I Get." Thank You Dan for Helping my daughter, Tiffany V. towards her goal !! Connie I'm on my way, then Nancy Biri I'll get you next !!
Nancy Biri Oct 4, 2009, 10:28pm EDT
Thanks for your help Candice. I finally made cashout
pamela r. Oct 3, 2009, 9:56am EDT
at times I do----esp if it a friend who has commented a lot for me in the past.
Robin O. Oct 3, 2009, 9:57am EDT
Dan: I think that is a wonderful idea..
J. McDole - Gather's Anti-Beck Oct 3, 2009, 10:05am EDT
That's a really nice thing to do.
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 10:08am EDT
Well, so far I've commented on 100 pics. I posted 8-10 new pics a few days ago if anyone wanted to see them.

I think it's important to help out your fellow gatherers. If nothing else, it helps you as well.
Ruthi C. Oct 3, 2009, 10:09am EDT
Dan, I'm gonna follow this conversation, so I hope you post anyone who needs help for cashin' out! An awesome idea, and thank you!
Elizabeth R. Oct 3, 2009, 9:33pm EDT
I second that, Ruthi.
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 10:10am EDT
I used to do it a lot more directly, but I was scolded by gather. Thus, I have to find indirect routes of asking who needs help. I can't just put it directly in an article.
Ruthi C. Oct 3, 2009, 10:15am EDT
Well crap! I s'pose this works then, anyone who comments here will be heard :-)
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 10:12am EDT
You know who does need points is my gf Heather. She has been stuck at a certain number for a while and it only increases ever so slowly. Her profile is:

http://irishbelle22.gather.com/

She takes amazing photos!
Nancy Biri Oct 3, 2009, 10:47am EDT
Heather hasn't logged on Gather for a couple of months
Dan H. Oct 3, 2009, 10:15am EDT
Ok, time for me to get back to studying. Have a great day everyone.
MrsRoad Runner Oct 3, 2009, 11:48am EDT
If I come across someone who has posted such things. I take this is they obviously need the cash out or they would not post about it.
So you bet!!
That is if I run across there post...
Joanne Vicente Oct 3, 2009, 11:59am EDT
When I have time, absolutely! Otherwise, I get to as many posts as I can.
Darin Waugh Oct 3, 2009, 1:06pm EDT
Oh yea!!!
Gloria C. Oct 3, 2009, 1:10pm EDT
this is very sweet Dan, but how can you tell how many points a person needs? Does it show on the profile?
David E. Oct 3, 2009, 1:34pm EDT
I never really thought about that. I just post when I see something I want to post about.
Katharyne T. Oct 3, 2009, 4:25pm EDT
yes i do as much as I can, always want to help out.. I know money is tight all over
J W. Oct 3, 2009, 6:58pm EDT
I try to help out when I know someone is close to cash out.
Ruthi C. Oct 3, 2009, 7:25pm EDT
CashOut time ~ Thank you!
Just so ya know...currently unemployed, so this pays a month of car insurance & keeps me on the road job huntin'!
Michelle K. Oct 3, 2009, 7:55pm EDT
I'll try when I see a notice I'll certainly do it. I can't say I've seen one
James B. Oct 3, 2009, 8:02pm EDT
I respond when I can. I also like to comment on ignored photos and posts.
Elizabeth R. Oct 3, 2009, 9:35pm EDT
I agree, James.
Elizabeth R. Oct 3, 2009, 9:36pm EDT
We all need help getting points but I am not anywhere near cashing out. Will, in time. In the meantime, I help everyone I possibly can.
MyBaby Loves0207 Oct 3, 2009, 9:57pm EDT
How do you know someone is close? Does it show or do they have to say it in their post?
Charles Evans Oct 3, 2009, 11:27pm EDT
I'm still trying to figure all this stuff out on here as far as getting points. I posted several things and gradually moved up to 33 points....seems like it took forever to get that far. Then I posted 3 questions the other day... maybe a couple of responces but I now have jumped to 283 points over night. I entered a few contests but don't know if I won them. I am just curious how I received the extra points...so many over night...Would love for it to happen more as this will be my Christmas money...... any help??? Bewildered in Va.
Monica C. Oct 4, 2009, 12:47am EDT
No, I honestly did not think about that. Thank you, Dan, for reminding me to do this. I will begin commenting and rating those who are close to cashing out. :-) You got a 10
brittany c. Oct 4, 2009, 3:34pm EDT
i do that, too!
Ashley P. Oct 9, 2009, 9:32pm EDT
I do that sometimes. But I have my favs on here too..
