No

Once you get to 300 posts you can give others cookies

There's only one type of limit. I'll use myself as the example. Let's say you want to find a picture and offer a member 2 cookies for finding it. I go looking for that picture and I find it. I give you the link, and you give me my first cookie. Then you decide to give me the second cookie, but this webpage comes up saying that you can't use a karma action for 5 more hours. This means that you can't give me another cookie for 5 hours.

As far as giving cookies to members, I have yet to find out if there is a limit. And when I give cookies, I can be very giving! Ask just about anybody here.  :sweatdrop:

Also, don't worry about making it to 300. You'll make it there in no time! I never though I would make it to 1,000, and I'm well over 3200 posts!

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.

Agreed.

But until a worthwhile solution can be found, I guess we are stuck.

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.

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.....  :(

And it's because of this reason why cookies do not work. You're only adding to the problem than being part of the solution!

Cookies should be given out as a reward and not part of a popularity contest!!!  :angry:

I'm not mad...not closely.

Trust me...you'll know when I get mad and why I am called a Being of Darkness.

One advice babypigggy-chan, and don't think I'm lecturing you, but don't say you like it when people get mad, and you become mad at them. You lose the right to say you hate seeing people get mad.

I completely agree with this!  :okay:

Unfortunetly, thats not what that means.

The system is flawed and needs fixing, just that there is no worthwhile solution at the moment.
