How is it that if someone shares with me a card that I don't want I can't receive any more cards for 24 hours? But they can share all they want? Someone can literally spam someone with 1 diamond cards until they are unfollowed or block. It should be the other way around so that we can only share one card and receive as many as we want. At least give us the option to say yes or no to receiving cards.
You can't even share with IRL friends who also play because someone beats you to the punch.
"You need a Mega Blaziken? I can give you one of my extra. What do you mean someone gave you a shroomish so you cant take it? Sorry I'm going on vacation and I wont be able to use my cell for awhile. Good luck with your tournament"

Please change it.
Thanks.

    I totally get the point. I have been lucky enough that random folks sharing with me having given me cards (mostly 1 or 2 diamonds) that help fill out the dex (mostly in Deluxe ex), but can imagine your frustration. I think it is unlikely that they'll change it to receive unlimited as then the people who create and farm random accounts (like those schemes with farming for double gold stars for wonder picking) would another field day. Among other issues, it's also likely to lead to the rich get richer issue.

    The option to decline a share was something I had hoped would be included when they first announced it, and seems like a good solve (unless there are technical implementation issues).

    Another possibility is to have a "turn off" receiving shares (similar to turn off receiving trade offers) — a user could have it turned off generally and then turn it on when they really want to receive a share. But this has its issues as well.
