What are "Cookies"? [OLD Topic]

--- Quote ---Okay, so if I take the same action and restrict giving cookies to admins/mods then that would solve the problem easily. Of course!

Oh, I'd hate to see that happen, Little Wolf-Sama.
It's really nice to be able to give someone a cookie for something that they have done to help you in some way. I am glad that the "take a cookie" is gone, but I think "give a cookie" is working okay, just needs some minor tweaks, maybe.

Mods don't have that option (at least I don't) and I think the 'give a cookie' feature IS being abused. Scroll back and see my example and explain to me how a n00b joins up and gets 6 cookies on the first day here and it takes me 4 months to get 4 cookies?!!
The...system...is...flawed...PERIOD!!!
ashleygurl:
I totally agree with Arcademan...
I was one of the few members here first, I never spam...
and seriously, I wasn't showered with cookies when I first post my intro around here.
I think the cookies system is abused...and it gives people in here a wrong impression like:
1) Cookies = popular
2) I post alot and my chance in getting to know more ppl and 'befriend' them can give me a higher chance of gaining cookies.
Anyway I'm just kind of disappointed that ppl just spam around here....so maybe spamming is another problem after cookies.

i agree with arcademan on one account.
if people are just giving cookies because someone joins well then, the "give a cookie" feature is being abused.
but then.. here's the catch.
we're supposed to give cookies if people have well.. helped you, if you like someone's fanworks, gave out helpful links, stuff like that, right? well.. let's say a newbie started out by posting fanworks and helpful links and stuff like that and they've received cookies for that. would that be considered abusing the "give a cookie" feature?
i honestly don't think so.
but that's just my personal opinion. i'm trying not to contradict myself here. hah.
D.J.P:
No, it wouldn't
What is, is just giving cookies just cause you can.
