One Bnet group had something complicated but easily usable. Basically, it would go something like

ExampleUser1: +4 cookies ExampleUser2
ExampleUser2 goes to Cookie thread.
ExampleUser2: +4 cookies, ExampleUser1
ExampleUser2 would then link to the post from ExampleUser1 as proof, then he would add 4 to however many cookies he has in his signature. Any more or less (less to keep things simple) will result in the first three times a warning and fixing of it, after that bans start to take place.
ExampleUser1 then goes to his signature and subtracts 4 cookies from the amount he had before. He cannot give more cookies than he has. Failure to subtract the cookies results in the same punishment as ExampleUser2 would get if he added too much or too little.

ExampleUser1 may also PM ExampleUser2 with the message saying he gets the cookies, but that optional. Just as long as ExampleUser1 posts the cookie addition somewhere where anyone can see it and have little doubt that it's true.

k?

Example of why we need "cookies." Because what you are saying, we cannot eat them, only have attentionwhoryness with them.

It's basically code-free Gold from the old MG forums.

And I can lie too. See?



Hakker said so. GIMIIE MAH COOKIES

You missed out on the part where you have to LINK to the post. As in, not quote, LINK.

User could pm an admin or mod and ask them to edit all of the posts to get cookies though.

To be honest, it sounds like you're calling the admins and mods retarded.

I'm not, But you have to realize that some of the admins and mods are friends with normal users and could easily edit posts.

They weren't given their positions so that they would help out cheaters. If they do so, they're pretty much saying "Hey, we're going to suck our friends c*** and screw over normal users", in which case they don't deserve their rank. And besides, doesn't it say the name of who edited it last at the bottom? Even if it doesn't, there's a place to go where admins can find out recent actions done on their forum. Cleod WOULD find out, and if they don't at least get warned then he deserves to be slapped (no offense to him)

THEY SERVE NO PURPOSE

KTHX

It promotes postwhoring.

VERY IMPORTANT

Postwhoring? You don't get cookies just from posting, do you?
Besides this, I have a couple things to add to make this system more fool-proof
The cookie mod/mods have to agree that what the person did was cookie-worthy.
A log is kept to keep track of how many cookies each person should have. That way, someone can't give themselves one hundred cookies without ever posting on the cookie board.

Though, like multiple users have pointed out, there is no point to this. What would you get from having cookies?

Attentionwhoreness
