Candy corn is the applaud system that we use. Normally it is called Karamel Sutra, but for Halloween we changed the name.
If you like something someone has posted, you can click 'Treat' and that will give them applause. If you don't like a post or don't agree with a post, or just feel like being silly, you can click "Trick" and that will give the poster a negative applause. It doesn't count towards the overall balance of the Treat applause though. ;)
That's pretty much it. I am sure if I didn't explain something, or I missed something all together, someone else will chime in to help me out!
Good to see you back!
Tam

nah, I'd prefer not to. If you make it something "negative" people will feel offended, or feel like if they have a bunch of them people are being mean, etc. I know of some online games where people jump the newbies and threaten them with negative feedback if they don't give them something in exchange for leaving them alone.
My plan right now is to just have two different items moving forward. we'll probably change the names occasionally just to be goofy
It's more like "Whose Line Is It" where the points are meaningless at the end of the game....

^ I want everything to remain meaningless, I just was thinking that we could smoething like that for the smite club that would be easier then having someone count and update it by hand. Maybe only for smite club members or just have it in the smite thread if it could be done. Lets forget you think it will cause more problems.

It's more work to try and code something to allow a voluntary admission into a smite club in the software. It's not that it's not possible, I just don't feel like coding it. At least not until the 2.0 version of the board software is finalized.

Okay that's cool, I just wanted to make sure you understood where I was coming from with my idea in case it was a good one. I left out the words then solve in my last sentence. that would include the programming as well as any confusion or offended feelings it might bring. Not a good idea right now.
