I agree. There has to be a happy medium. If free members are banned from seeing the advantages of a premium membership, then why bother upgrading.
Premium members don't need to be penalized for reviewing free members as well. Sol, looks like your hands are full with this work in progress.

I think author's should receive points from any review given to their post. Shouldn't matter if its free or premium.

I understand the need if you are collecting points to post. But, someone serious in their endeavors should want any and all feedback. I have some friends that published edited books that years later errors were found that even an elementary school child have found. Keep the inline reviews open, just designate who will be able to utilize points while reviewing.

Thank you Janet. I have many friends that write. All critiques good, bad, of indifferent can be of great value. I have friends that can be so wound up at times a child could pick up on some simple errors. Maybe the readers will be able to help the authors with their points. Eventually.

I'm not a author, but I'm looking forward to reading to help find nits for people. It would be nice for the authors to receive some points by having their stories read by free members. I look forward to see how this issue plays out.

I've met a couple of people with similar experiences. Is this a personal quandary?

I have question. What if a person could be in love with two people at the same time? Not lust or sex, just truly in love.
