I went on to my profile and just, boredly read my profile and then I see Floof-O-Meter. Then I think, I saw that somewhere on a thread. But I forgot it so I don't know what it is. What IS it? Someone help me? Please? :3
-
Is just a counter of "thanks". People can click your profile buttons to increase (Nuzzle) or decrease (Bite) that counter.
It is the same counter called "Karma" of yesterday.
-
O thank you! Haha, I explored some moar threads and then noticed the Karma was missing and I'm like OH! But it's a really silly name XD
-
reasons for change can be found discussed here (http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=23608.0&topicseen)

Huh, I was wondering this too.
Although theoretically isn't it still the same? I mean instead of negative karma it's just changed to 'low amount of "floof" and people will still judge because someone has a lower "floof" amount than others. Sure the "floof" thing sounds less harsh than "Karma" but it's still pretty much the same thing.
BUT then again, in that discussion thread Red said that it's impossible to get rid of the Karma aspect altogether. So I guess this is somewhat better than "biting"/downrating/bla someone.
-
The option to bite has been taken away. So it can only get "floof"ier.
-
Yeah that's true, but people will still be less inclined to give "floofs"/nuzzles to those they don't like or to those who are disobeying the rules and such.
-
I noticed this too! I'm happy they changed it, especially getting rid of the Bite option :)
-
I love the new floof counter tis much better.

I miss the bite function personally. When someone got my goat bad I'd take a deep breath, hit the button, and be over it. I have some anger issues, and without it, I'm afraid I may just get my butt kicked out of FH. Without someway of relieving my anger at certain people who can't get their head around rules and such, I may just end up snapping at everyone. I don't bite for little things either. Stealing items, being rude and nasty, things like that I bite for. I once had my karma drop by over ten points once, and you know what? I just pointed it out and Red was happy to help out.
Personally, I don't see getting rid of karma as a good thing. it isn't a bad thing, but it isn't really supremely good. Since it's been gone I've seen so many people who I want to bite, I can't, and I feel like punching a hole through the screen. It's frustrating and stressing for me. To not be able to have some way of expressing my anger towards someone without posting something nasty is really getting to me.
-
You're right, Kyugima, about having it for the letting others know they that some people are bad. I think it was taken away do being used for abuse to others.
-
Also, if having low 'Floof' means a person is less inclined to trust them and such, what about new members? I've been on the game for a bit now but just started hanging around the forum, usually when (Like now) the game server won't let me online. I think the 'bite' option should be put back, but it was being used for abuse. I have an idea that may help this, maybe since the people who abuse it will probably have low Floof themselves, you would have to have a certain amount of Floof before you could bite?

It was more taken down because people worried that it could be abused, as far as I could see, there were no signs of major karma abuse that I have really noticed. The only times I have seen people with extremely low karma are the people who really worked hard to get to that point.

I have no bite button. ): );

No one has a bite button. It was removed, so now theres only Nuzzlies
-
I don't have a nuzzle option either, but I heard you need a certain amount of posts or floof, not sure which, before you could nuzzle? Anyone know how much?
-
You don't have a limit on how many times you can.nuzzle someone, but you can only do so after every hour
-
@Hawkwing
You get the nuzzle option after twenty-five posts.
@Hakuri
I think you get the option after every twenty-four hours.
-
I agree with Kyugima. I aswell have problems with anger, and if there is no way to control it, I might just snap at everyone.
But anyway, I was wondering what Floof was to. But, now that I know, it makes more sense.
-
Although I see Kyugima's point, I don't think its generally a good thing for a forum member to scald those when its not really their place to do so, like when the wrong was not aimed at yourself, which is what happens most often.
Anywho, for me, I do prefer 'Floofs' instead of karma, and like Zarago stated to me before, karma is more religious. Some people might feel rather uncomfortable with that.
-
Wow
I didn't expect this much replies.
But I don't want the bite option taken back...
Had some horrible memories >.<
(No one hate me please)
-
Ah, lol. I was wondering why I couldn't nuzzle someone, then I looked up and noticed -Blacki said you need 25 posts to be able to do that. xD
And if anyone's wondering why my Floof/post count is so low, I have been on the forums maybe twice. My computer can rarely load it. xD
-
Wow.
Lol.
Hope your computer likes FH and they can be friends ;-;
