I too will say no to this. We are all doing this for the enjoyment of roleplaying and the settings we have put our own characters in. The reward to me has always been its story and the accomplishment of putting forth a roadblock that you and others overcome. Being reward SP for running events, whether that be staff or non-staff simply put irregardless if they are doing us a favor: is unfair. It is not fair that people write something that others would do and get free things, whether its SP or what have you to make their characters stronger.
And to put it forth, if people were compensated with rewards for writing posts then man, whoever wrote posts for the 24th boss is going to bypass calrex in a heartbeat.
I have never been for anything like this, even for donating to get items or what have you. I don't think this creates any form of balancing, only creates imbalance. Now, if we say give them special discord roles, special podcast stuff: I can get behind that as it is a means of rewarding them with acknowledgement. While it may not be much, the joy of being recognized can very well be worth its while.
