First of all, vips are paying 25$ for this feature but they cant use it! They cant smite users, you say it aint their job to smite users. Why do they have it then? Seems you scam people here, you give them this feature but you dont let them use it.
Ok second, why do you so strict with it? why a people should get only 1 reputation for a share? I think you should let people be SUBJECTIVE, if 2-3-5-100 people appreciate a share then they all should increase sharer reputation more times. He shared for all people, not just for one person only! thats why he should be appreciated by all people from their own will. You are complaining this forum is lacking of shares( yes it does) ye but why should their share since you give them reputation just for a share that must brought from Mars to get a reputation!? Check big forums, all users can rep/thanks a user for a share(ye they decide by their own will if the share deserves a reputation + and not like here by some invisible requirements asked by a 1 week old moderator)
Now you are asking yourself( omg my friends will give me reputations!) so what? do you think 2-3 rep in plus from your friends will matter? nop cause now it wont be so overrated!
