There's no Q&A, but if someone were so inclined to search and compile answers that would be cool. :)
So without revealing too many details that could lead to powergaming: when tithes are accepted the amount of gold given is compared to the tithing PC's level to determine if any benefits are given. Basically, a level 5 PC doesn't need to tithe as much as a level 10 PC to receive a benefit - and if people are dropping coins before tithing, they are more than likely not meeting the bar. The primary reason tithing was implemented though is so PCs can to try and shift their alignment (slowly) by tithing to good/evil/neutral temples over a long-term period. There is also a small boost to notoriety. But both the alignment shift and notoriety increase are granted on a limited basis, so tithing 10 times in row is not going to benefit your PC any more than tithing once every tenday or so.
I'm willing to reveal a *few* more details if there is still come confusion (I'd need to crack open the script to review it), so just post if that is needed.
