I would like to petition the administrators of these forums for a new feature: Attention Cookies
Yes, I realize “Like” does work somewhat towards this goal but I feel that mods could perhaps satisfy some people’s need for attention with a new mechanic such as this.
Please “tawk amongst yourselves”
Don’t understand the proposed feature.
Really?
Ok.
What is an “attention cookie”?
Is it an icon on a thread to use when you can’t otherwise make it stand out? Is it some form of virtual reward you give to people to thank them for paying attention?
virtual reward. Yes.
Give them attention.
Dunno, just a thought. “Cool, you contributed to the discussion” Like a +1
So the idea needs work! So?
Now give me my attention cookie!!
How about if people think what you said makes sense they can agree with you anonymously?
Also implement an experience point and leveling system. And a class system.
XP! That’s it!
“Cogent gains 123 (+53%) xp for a somewhat on-topic post”
Yep just turn the whole thing into one big video game where other users approval and good behavior translates into experience points
And you could even have battle arenas and duels if people wanted to have a debate and the other users decide who wins
So the pen isn’t mightier than the sword.
Nope, keyboard beats both handily
Correction, Virtual Sword
We need to add an arcade to the Unity forums
lol
A forum Simulator!
Unity forums Simulator must be a thing
You are in a maze of twisty little forum posts, all alike. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a troll.

Fixed that for you
This is a forum simulator, so nah, there aren’t any grues here. But there are trolls.
–Eric
That’s because we’ve already been eaten by the Grue, and are inside it. Hence the dark twisty maze of forum posts. 
Round and Round the forum goes where it stops no one knows
Dude, the only reason I keep helping clueless people on Unity Answers is because if I do it, my number goes up. It’s like cookie clicker, just with meaningful interaction rather than grandmothers.
