Would you want people to withhold lurve so you can get points?

Not too long ago, I read that someone had a strategy of not giving lurve to someone who they had maxed out lurve on. Their theory was that they should hold back and let others whose lurve might count give lurve first.

The reasoning is that only the first five lurves on a question count for points. If you’ve maxed out on a person, you could let newer folks give the lurve (which might result in points) until five lurve had been given, and then provide lurve.

If I had this strategy, which I think is a thoughtful gesture, I’d probably never get back to the answer to give lurve. I was thinking that it might make me feel less motivated, if all the people who have maxed out on me withheld their lurve. While I like lurve that adds points, I also like the encouragement of GAs. If people started withholding lurve to give me an opportunity to get points, I might not get any lurve, and then might feel less appreciated.

How would you feel if people took this strategy? What would you prefer folks-who-have-maxed-out-their-lurve-on-you do?
