Cookies represent a member's popularity in the forum. If a member does a good thing to you, you can give him a cookie. :keke:
Your level should be "Super Fan" to be able to give cookies.
Currently, only administrators have the ability to eat cookies. (Yeah, SLi and I are the forum's cookie monsters! :tongue3: )
We're currently celebrating the forum's anniversary month. We might have the shop ready for members during this so stay tuned!
-
Cool! ^__^ What kind of things will be sold?
-
0.o You mean that "shop" button that pops up only when I'm not logged in? Yeah, I've seen it.
-
Currently the shop is empty, due to a certian member or two using the items to take revenge on other forum members (sad indeed)
-
How cruel. Shouldn't it be used for only registered members?

>_> .. so childish...

Hmm... I haven't seen the shop, so what will it be selling? @_@

oh, the usual stuff anime message board shops sell. for starters, there will be Clow Cards there for sure.
-
Ooh, Clow Cards.... If you guys will be selling Clow Cards And Sakura Cards AND that wand, I'm saving up XD.

Just pictures of the Cards, right?
-
ooo me too! Could you name a price range?
-
Ah, gomen, I didn't read the above post. I'm a very impatient, rushy quick person. I never read instructions... not one of my good qualaties :sweatdrop:
(This is an Edit)
-
Awesome! I'll be able to scrape up some money... I hope. I'll just have to work even harder... ^^;
Keep in mind...the 'cookies' you have will be the 'money' for the shop :wink:
-
Hmm... I gotta earn more, uh, cookies then.
-
Just pictures of the Cards, right?
Of course! Did you honestly think there were "real" Clow Cards? seriously... :D
ooo me too! Could you name a price range?
I can't give you that yet and even if I can, I won't reveal it this early.
-
Well, it could've been real... But then my computer'd blow up into pieces if I got Fiery. XP
Hope to see the shop soon! ^^
-
Brings back memories and I post items on shops that costs 1 million cookies...
-
Wow... X_x I could never do that... Members must be really good to earn that much. ^^;;
-
Earning them is easy.
But members fight over them so there's where the fun starts. hehehehehehe...

meanie... XD But if that were to happen, I hope it doesn't turn ugly. :XD:

kudan - It doesn't if you have a good moderator staff (which I'm lucky to have one), that way they can't do exploit tactics like duplicating cookies and dummy members feeding cookies to one user.
But the best place to earn cookies? Tournaments. Lots of it.

True, sometimes a little competition is good. ^^
-
If there were fights over cookies... We might as well close the shop since greed would take over. I said 'If,' okay?
The best way is tournaments. Beside Icon and Banner tournaments, would game tournaments count as well?
-
Hikari_Blaze - It really depends on the members themselves if they want to act greedy or not. I just got lucky with the concept because the members cooperate well.
Gaming tournaments are nice.
-
Gmae tournaments are nice, I guess... But what games do we play then?

O_______O;; Noone can afford taht!
-
O_______O;; Noone can afford taht!
I totally agree with that.... :heh:
But maybe there will be new ways to earn cookies, like competitions and stuff that would help us get cookies if the price ranges are THAT high, right?
-
I don't really think some of the things will be 1 millions cookies...
-
Hikari_Blaze - Well, if you check my signature (the last few lines). some cards cost 1 million cookies plus. (The X Rank card can't be sold)
-
Earning cookies is kind a....hard but if you try your best,you will be soon getting cookies!
GOOD LUCK!!! :okay:
-
How can I now ho gave me cookies? (some body gaved me a cookie) xD
-
I really want to know this as well. Someone gave me a cookie and I want to thank them,b ut I have no idea who it was. Is there any way we could find out? >.<
Thank you for your time!
-
same with me...one of my cookies was given anonymously...
-
Receiving cookies from anonyous donors is strange but good. Do I hear "Pay It Forwatd"?
(gets bonked)
-
If I have any say in the matter, the 'Cookie Store' will NEVER open up simply because the system is being abused BIG TIME here!!!
A person joins the forum today and already has 3 cookies?!! GIVE ME A BREAK!!! :angry:
-
exactly,i made a reflexion on the topic of the newbie about that :shifty:!
it is not her fault of course,but the menbers were feeling a little too bit generous :sweatdrop:!
cookies should only be given for special reply (like a fanart,a colored scan,an intersting link,or even a good comment :okay:)
-
I'm actually thinking of adding a new rule. That one should not be given a cookie just because he joined CWF.
-
yeah,it would be a good idea to stop abuses :surprised:!
for instance,to be able to give a cookie to a new member,this one should have at least more than five or ten posts,so the "welcoming cookie" would be cancelled,,and the newbie would be obliged to prove his sincerity to earn his very first cookie :okay:
-

First...don't use excessive emoticons in your posts. Second...do something worthwhile and EARN THE COOKIES. Don't beg for them. That's totally unbecoming a member of this forum.

This is a perfect example of "cookie abuse". You register to participate in the forum and NOT just to collect cookies (which aren't edible anyway).
-
maybe is a good rule to don't give cookies only for a poor reason... I give songs for cookies....:D... But perhaps here are a lot of great people who want to make others happy :)
-
Just realised I have one cookie :), but dunno who gave it to me .....so...who is it again.? just wanna say THANX :hehe:
-
[thanks Moon Li for the cookie]
question.....do I loss my cookie if I gave one to someone?
-
question.....do I loss my cookie if I gave one to someone?
Nope. Only the administrators can 'eat' cookies. You do not lose one when you give someone else a cookie.
-
Eh... cookie abuse.
I've seeing them in other fourms.
-
do I earn cookies if I post some fanart???
-

oo i see , so it's just give it when necessary and I won't lose mine . Thanx for the answer~!
-
The system here is different (no cookie loss).
-
do I earn cookies if I post some fanart???
If you post some and someone enjoys it very much, they may give you a cookie.
-
i just wanted to ask a very essential question which is starting to annoy me...
is there any way to know WHO gave us a cookie?
i mean that sometimes i receive a cookie without knowing the one who has done this kind deed,and so i can't thank him properly :(!
like said before,a cookie is a gift given to reward a member for something interesting he has posted,so by receiving a unknown cookie from nowhere it is like if someone threw away a cookie in a bin :sweatdrop:
it would be profitable to view in our profile the names of the generous donors :okay:
-
We thought of that but I personally think it's better this way. Most people will tell you when they gave you a cookie but there are those who are shy about it. Any others agree or disagree?
-
Being an anonymous cookie donor sounds fine, actually.
-
um...i agreed with Tatasenko-chan!! *hands up*
i dunno who gave me the first cookie!!
the second one,hack.<3.fly-chan gave me coz i helped her!
so,it is better if we know who gave us cookie in profile settings!! :okay:
-
you can sell the PICTURES of the Clow/Sakura cards???
-

Perhaps there could be a check box in the account setting of every member able to give cookies saying "Always include my name when giving cookies"? That way, if the cookie giver doesn't wish to be anonymous, the receiver will automatically know who gave it. That could also lessen the amount of off-topic posts with people informing about, and thanking each other for, given cookies (not that that appears to be a problem, but still). Also, when a non-anonymous cookie giver gives a member a cookie, a little form with the headline "I gives you a cookie because..." could automatically pop up, to be filled in and sent alongside with the cookie if the giver wishes to.
Maybe it's too complicated, at least the second part of my suggestion.
-
you are right Ando,it should be normal to know the reason why we have received a cookie,and the member who has given us it should be free to reveal or not his identity,so everyone would be satisfied on the two sides :okay:!
moreover,knowing who is the donors would be very helpful for the moderators to detect the abuses!
for instance if a newbie has oddly gained a huge amount of cookies in one go,the moderator would have the possibility to check his profile so as to find the cookies' trafficker :haha:
so now it's up to you to decide :keke:
-

And the question to follow would naturally be: are there big money to be gained in the cookie trafficking business?
Jokes aside, I don't really think cookie abuse is that major a problem here, but I, as not yet being able to give out the sweet things, feel that sending a PM or writing a post in a board with the sole intend of informing about a given cookie is a bit... too much. Some (optional) automatic thingie would be preferable.
-

don't worry,the "Mokona's kidnapper guild" is here to protect the forum from black market,the only one who is able to steal a huge amount of cookies is mokona because of his giant mouth !
...okay,i'm totally out of topic but this is all fault to Mokona,not mine :haha:!
hum,more seriously,i don't think that anyhow it would really bother someone to see his name written on the profile of the member whom he has given a cookie, because after all he certainly wish to be known by this person,or else he wouldn't have any reason to offer a cookie if it was only to be forgotten just after.
of couse a cookie is before all a reward,but we don't give cookie only for pleasure,but also because we want to create bond with the member so as to be more inmost :keke:!
but maybe that some menbers are shy and don't dare to come forward,so we have to help them :okay:
-
As for cookie abuse, in the end it all depends on the control of a member if he feels generous or something, I guess.
-
I wouldn't worry too much about the cookies system. If it was up to me, I'd eliminate it altogether. My opinion and don't bother trying to argue it against me.

in some way you are right because cookies may provokes jealousy around the forum...of course we are not children begging for candies,but sometimes members give a cookie for nothing while when it is worthy they don't give anything,so in fact cookies are useless since they don't prove the merit of a member :sweatdrop:...
but on the other hand the value of a cookie depends on the liking of the member who has given it,because everybody haven't got necessary the same likings,so for instance when a fanart is posted it does not mean that the creator will automatically receive a cookie,only the menbers who have liked it may be generous :keke:
so even if cookies are not really equally shared,they are still welcome when a member wants to express his admiration more than with words :okay:
-
I have recently become "super fan" , so I wonder how do you give cookies?
EDIT: Never mind I figured it out. :tongue3:
-
...O_O ....what do cookies do....?
-
"Cookies represent a member's popularity in the forum. If a member does a good thing to you, you can give him a cookie.
Your level should be "Super Fan" to be able to give cookies."
As said in the first post by Little Wolf, they don't do anything. They're just for fun :D.
-
At one time, there was going to be a shop here and the 'cookies' were going to be the money to buy things from the shop.
-
I'm not sure where to post this question...but I've received a cookie yesterday ( I think ) and I want to ask who gave me the cookie ?
-
Does anybody know why I have minus 3 cookies? Have I done something wrong?
-

Probably. Cookies don't amount to much around here these days.
-
i like the cookie system alot now. you can only take or give ONE AT A TIME. not like the unfair or stupid rep systems on other boards where you can give or take as much as you want from someone who made a TINY STUPID MISTAKE. *huff*
anyways, the cookie system is cool ^^ Fun and sophisticated and much more pleasant
redeternity, perhaps someone thought you were spamming. you can only give or take one between (is it 3 or 6 hours? so maybe 3 people got anoyed o.O
-

Seriously?! I really hope I haven't. I'm pretty certain I haven't spammed at all yet. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm only new but I lurk around forums loads and I know what makes a good post from a bad one. I don't really want/need the cookies anyway it's just feels kinda strange that I have minus 3. Ah well.
-
short nonesessical (sp o.o) posts sometimes people comnsider spam. there used to be a word limit here, but that had to go.
its either that or someone decided to mess around with you and strt taking random cookies fom people.
-
It would be nice if whoever did it would own up so that I would know what I've done wrong *hint*.. but I doubt anyone will..
do you mean nonsensical? or nonessential? i don't think I've done either.. but anyway I won't go on about it or I'll sound annoying. Thanks anyway!
-
Oh dear!!! I never know we can buy things using the cookies.... so, where is that 'shop'?
-
No shop has ever been set up for the cookies. It was talked about but never came into fruition.
-
how about the position??? what should i do to high my position???
-
Post...post a lot...and I mean A LOT!!! :D
-
oh! thank you! i really don't know what should i post? maybe a nonsense topic ;D
-
With the new changes to the messageboard, the cookies are no longer here. LOCK-N-LOAD!!!
-
Actually the feature is still there, but turned off *muhahahahaha*
