Seems like Fishbowl is losing its charm. People ask for 11 likes to DM and they get more than 20 likes (even when he/she asked for 11 likes). I regularly comment in posts and advise/suggest any questions which I come across and in return people do not even "Like" it. Let us be courteous enough to "Like" the comment if you found the response helpful.

P.S.: I really think we should stop giving 11 "Like" to the users who just want to activate their DMs without contributing to bowls.
