What are "Cookies"? [OLD Topic]
« on: April 04 2005, 05:52 pm »
Cookies represent a member's popularity in the forum. If a member does a good thing to you, you give him a cookie. If he does the opposite, you can eat a cookie from him. :D I won't list the bad things cos that's up for you to think... Meanwhile, good things are pretty easy to recognize like contributing helpful links or news.
Eating a cookie doesn't mean you get the cookie. It just gets lost in your stomach! :tongue:

Cookies can be traded for money to be used in the shop that will open here in the forum in the future. I'll announce when you can trade cookies for money.
There's a time limit between cookie-giving and eating. I've increased it to 5 hours. Let me give you an example...

Quote
SLi has 1 cookie. He posts fresh news about Tsubasa so I give him 1 cookie. SLi now has 2 cookies. :okay:
Later, I found out that the news wasn't about Tsubasa after all! :tongue3: Just useless stuff and he even posted it in the wrong forum.
So what can I do? I eat the cookie I just gave him and eat one more to punish him for the wrong deed. Basically, if you've just given him a cookie and then within the time limit you clicked on his "Eat a cookie" link, 2 cookies will be taken from him. The forum will assume that you made a mistake of giving him a cookie and that you really meant to eat a cookie. So two cookies will be taken from him instead of just one. :cry: <-- SLi
So, if you accidentally clicked on the "Give a cookie" link, don't eat a cookie from him right away cos it will take 2 cookies not just one! Wait for the time limit to pass then after that you can take back the cookie you accidentally gave him. It's a lot of hassle so better yet forget about it. Anyway, it's just 1 cookie. Just be more careful next time. :)

So what's with the time limit?
It's there to prevent abuse. You can't keep on giving or eating cookies to/from a member without waiting for the time limit to pass.
For example, after eating a cookie from Member A you could do the following:
1. Give a cookie or eat a cookie from any other member except Member A.
2. Give a cookie to Member A within the time limit. Reverses your previous action and gives 1 cookie to Member A. (means you made a mistake and you really wanted to give him a cookie)
3. Wait for 5 hours (the time limit) and give/eat a cookie to/from Member A again. It will add/subtract a cookie to/from him normally.

I hope everything's clear now. The forum logs all the giving and eating of cookies so I can find out if anyone abuses the system. That's why I hope everyone will try to be reasonable with their cookie decisions. :happy4:

Happy cookie-giving and eating! :D

P.S. Don't eat too much... :tongue3:

-Little Wolf's edit-
You need to have 300 posts to be able to give/eat cookies. But please don't spam the forums to achieve that post count. The forums will be closely monitored for abuses. We won't increase the post requirement anytime soon... not at least until most of the members have high post counts. :)

aha...this system is a little complex...and hard.

So you have to perform good deeds to another person? *frowns*
SO what if ur doing something that is a good deed to the other person but a bad deed to the other person...and what if some ppl are bias and kept deleting the cookies once they earned one?? So how can i protect my cookies? Maybe you should like increase the post count for the cookies? coz 100 posts isnt that much, when this forums gets popular...and it would be pretty much chaotic for ppl to add/delete each others cookies...the system would be totally crashed up.

Ummmm, this might sound silly butwhere exactly is the cookie link?
If you think about it the past becomes the present and the present the future.

^ yeap, and as Ash has suggested, I'll be increasing that as more members reach 100. It won't be a special feature anymore if 90% of the members can give/eat cookies. So it's a special "power" only for those who are active in the forums. :D

yeah..the board will be in chaos if I let that happen so don't worry cos I'll increase it later like I said in the previous post.
And it's up for you to decide whether you want to give or eat a cookie. Like I said, I hope members will be reasonable with their decisions. You can just give a cookie to another member because he's your friend! That's reason enough... And don't worry anymore about people constantly eating cookies cos I will know. Anyway, I doubt that anyone could be so pathetic as to wait for 5 hours just to eat a cookie and then do it again and again and again... He'd have to be really dedicated. :D

I'm afraid it won't be until next month. For the meantime, I'll make a topic for you to suggest ideas for shop items. :D

and don't worry, the system isn't really that complex. It just looked complicated because of the way I explained it... :lol:

Probably I'll increase it to 250 then 500 next... :)

As for the punishment, he might get banned or just get his account deactivated, depending on how much damage he has done...

Wow...big increase in there. i think 500 is a bit too much. So like 250? hm...well just a suggestion. But it would definately be a big motivation for members in here.

punishment sounds totally fair...but what if a person keeps on giving cookies to everyone? so does that equal to breaking the rules?
