Title: The Floof-O-Meter - A Guide
Post by: greenart6 on July 06, 2015, 11:07:13 pm
I've noticed a lot of people asking about the Floof-o-Meter, what it is, and what it does. I've decided to make this guide explaining as much as I can about it. Feel free to correct me on any of this or add on more information!
What is the Floof-o-Meter?
The Floof-o-Meter is a form of karma on the forum. Floofs/Nuzzles do not effect anything in-game or on the forum whatsoever!
Why and how do I 'floof/nuzzle' someone?
You can floof someone for any reason! They are usually given to someone who has helped you with a problem, someone who is overall helpful and kind towards the community, or someone who has made some sort of creation you like. Just remember, asking/begging for floofs will not get you them! Floofs are given to show gratitude, they are not a race.
In order to nuzzle/floof someone, you must first have at least 25 posts on the forum. Just find their miniprofile from a post they have made, and click "Nuzzle". You cannot nuzzle yourself, and you can only nuzzle a specific person once every 24 hours.
(Just using my second account for an example!)

Here's an example of a post.

The "Floof-o-Meter" lists how many floofs you have received. Clicking "Nuzzle" will give the user another floof. You cannot floof yourself and can only floof the same person once within 24 hours.
How do I get floofs?
To get floofs, just be an active, helpful, and productive member in the community! If you deserve a floof, you will get one eventually. Don't ask or beg for floofs, this may turn people away from the very idea of giving you one! And of course, remember that a small amount of floofs doesn't mean you or a member is unhelpful, or even that a large amount means that a member is helpful! Don't compare yourself to other people, just keep being helpful and friendly!
Can floofs be taken away/why do some users have negative floofs?
I was not around while this was still a thing, so correct me on anything if needed! A while ago, you could either 'bite' or 'nuzzle' someone. Biting took away floofs, and nuzzling added floofs. This feature was removed in order to promote positive behavior. Some users with lots of 'bites' left the forum during that time and still have a large amount of negative floofs---the record I've seen is -60 floofs! However, this doesn't neccesarily mean they were a bad person, some people had asked the community to 'bite' them, just to have some fun.
Hope this helps make the Floof-o-Meter a little clearer! I'm tired of saying 'floof' so much throughout this tutorial haha. If anyone asks about the Floof-o-Meter, feel free to send them to this post!

It's very kind of you to create a help guide on this topic. I'm sure it will help some new members who don't know its purpose. c:

I don't have a nuzzle option?!
Title: Re: The Floof-O-Meter - A Guide
Post by: Hakumi on May 13, 2016, 08:22:35 pm
^^ That would be because you need a certain number of posts to be able to Nuzzle people.
People already said this above, but yeh. 25.

You also can't nuzzle yourself. Only other users once you've gotten 25+ posts.

I meant other users, I know you can't nuzzle yourself. I thought I had more posts, but I checked and so that's the reason. Thx :)

Oh so this is what the Floof-o-Meter is, I thought it had something to do with the awards, if you got so many floofs you would get an award. Thanks for clearing this up. x3

You're welcome, thanks for the responses! Glad to be clearing up a little confusion.
And Haley, try to refrain from double-posting, if you want to edit your post you can press the "Modify" button in the top right corner of your post. c:

Aye. Floofs are difficult to come across nowadays. Don't be discouraged, however. Be helpful, active and friendly (and don't beg), and I'm sure your floof-o-meter will be up in no time.

I have one question. How exactly do you add a Floof-o-Meter to another Floof? Or is it only the mods, admins etc who can do that? Or a specific ranking?

You'll have to have 25+ posts in order to +Floof people :3

As said in the guide c: Once you hit a certain amount of posts (25) you can start nuzzling floofs and such. ( As Fire Stated c: )
But if you're talking about the meter itself, then I believe everyone has one.

I've added a bit more to the main post, hopefully that will clear up a few more questions.
