What were Shroomery points? * 1
    #18948380 - 10/08/13 06:56 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Hi i'm not new here, but haven't been here real long either. I was searching through some ancient threads and they mentioned shroomery points. I did a search on them after that but couldn't find any info about what they actually did or how they were made. I know the system's redundant now, but i'm curious to how they worked?

It was an aborted feature. It lasted less than a week if memory serves. The idea was that you'd get points depending on how much you contributed to the shroomery, through posts. So people began spamming one word posts. Then, the admins tried to fix it by only counting posts with so many words. At first you would see tons of posts with that exact number of words. Then people figured out you could just quote someone else's post, so we had threads that were just quotes within quotes within quotes. The concept was terminated shortly thereafter.

I think the points went toward supporter accounts and merch in the shroomery store.

I am shocked that people would try to scam the system.

Was scamming the shroomery a banable offense? Because it should've been.

I think trolling is ban-able.
