What are "Cookies"? [OLD Topic]

--- Quote from: Arcademan/PixieP on August 18 2005, 12:30 pm ---Looking back at these posts and the whole 'cookie' set-up, I've come to the conclusion...
They are a waste of time!
Now I know I really don't care about little rewards and stuff like that but it seems odd that people are being rewarded cookies JUST FOR JOINING THE FORUM!!!
Not that I do anything out of the ordinary. I greet n00bs, I write stories, I keep the peace and order in the General Media section. I'd like to think I get along with everyone and hopefully the feeling's mutual, however...
When someone joins the forum and has more cookies than I do, there's something wrong with the system. Now those who rightly deserve them, like the banner winners and those who are extremely helpful with information, they deserve them and the rewards that may come with them but from what I've seen IMO, the system is going on the verge of abuse.
Whether this will be addressed I don't know and truthfully, I really don't care. I pay little attention to things like cookies and post counts. I come here, offer my posts and information and try my best to be as good a member here as I possibly can.
Forgive me if this seems like a rant...but that's what it is. I apologize in advance if anyone's offended by it and I thank you for understanding my position in this situation :)

Quoted for truth. I still stand by my original statement.
D.J.P:
Agreed.
But until a worthwhile solution can be found, I guess we are stuck.
Arcademan:
Maybe if someone gives a person a cookie, they have to explain why and a moderator can agree or disagree whether the cookie should be awarded. Of cource, the big drawback to that theory is it's subject to the opinion of a mod and it also creates what amounts to another annoying step and more work.
As you said...guess we're stuck with it until a better solution comes along.
Ruby Chan:
I hope there is a better solution out there......I mean, I understand giving cookies as rewards, or possibly to a member of your forum family on their birthday......
But a lot of people give them to Newbies in the Intro thread, as welcoming gifts.....and there's no way that they could have done anything for the forum yet to deserve them..... :(
babypigggy:

ahh well, when i'm allowed to give cookies i'll give people i like cookies >.>
