Inspires people to help others out, as I said personally I do not need the motivation some may depending on their circumstances. And I believe the site is here for people who are interested in lifting to help one another, give motivation and just a place to chat about general interests. Maybe Admin wants to use it to show others how much this person is appreciated in the forum. I do not want a pat on the back either, a thank you when I help is sufficient. But I do like to give other people credit for their help to others so in this way it is possible.
