Fourm "Treats!"

This may sound absolutly silly but I have no idea what these are.

I noticed that when I first joing, under my avatar picture on the left was a little thing that said "Treats!" and next to it, it said I had one. Well the other day, I just so happened to notice that it now says 2. What are the point of these and how exactly do you get them?

When you read something that you feel really adds something good to the forum either educational, maybe really humorous and the what not you give a treat. Then again if your maybe offended by something or of that ilk your take away a treat.

Look to your right in others post (not your own) you'll see a + or -, + is if you this the post is worthy of a treat - to take away.

Now that I think of it I do believe there is a "sticky" topic regarding treats, will see if I can find it.
Here it is:

Funny...

For the record, the treat button is not analogous to the like button and the negative treat button is NOT a dislike button. As explained in the sticky Len posted, you give something a treat for adding something really good (or really funny) to the discussion. Negative treats are only if someone says something really offensive or flat our wrong. It's not an "I don't agree with you" or "wow, I don't like that", which is something I think is going on lately.

+1 for this. The treat button is not a popularity button. It is used to point members who traffic these forums less often in the direction of someone, or an idea that in genuinely constructive to the topic. If you see someone with 4000+ posts and no treats.. where is the credibility. It is an informational tool.

But we all know that people take away treats just to be PITAs often as well, though a lot of the culprits from a couple months ago seem to be absent. I am too lazy to treat or untreat anyone ever, haha.

I see. I found the sticky about the treats after I posted this thread, and wasn't sure how to delete it. Lol Do you get any kind of a notification when you get/loss one?

Not that it really matters, but I agree with the credibility thing. Might be something I start looking at when people post on advise topics. Smile

Thanks ya'll for clearing that up for me.

There's no alert. But just saying, someone who is treated a lot doesn't necessarily mean they know best. Smile

Oh no, that isn't what I meant. Lol Just going off of you all talking about someone with "negative treats".

By the way, I love you sig. Did you make that?

Subject: Re: Fourm "Treats!" Tue Nov 13, 2012 4:43 am

Yeah, I always throw together my own sigs in Photoshop. I like them clean and simple.

TooManyHuskies is just some bored troll who obviously has a very good comprehension on dog food but likes to stir people up by dissing their brand and naming usually undesirable kibbles. He would never pop up again if people ignored him, that troll gets full here when he gets bored enough to post.

I have never used PhotoShop, as I am too cheap to buy it but I have tried Gimp (Which I was told is like the free verison) but I am not smart enough to figure it out. Even after watching serval YouTube videos... Lol

Ah I see, well I will remember to "not feed the animals" as we say at work. Smile
