I see that many supporters (including myself) have at least once in their lives received a whisper asking for help with their support

And a while ago I saw several people (including friends) who put in their pony names that they didn't lend their support to parties. I even have friends who have gone so far as to completely disable their whispers because people who wanted to be their friends ended up only seeking their help with their support,, sooo they ended up distrusting everyone
