Frets on Fretboard???

What's Hot
Super noob mode Activate.

So as you may have guessed, I aint been here too long. I've navigated the helpful welcome posts and such to find how little things work here and there, but one thing is kinda baffling me atm and I can't see a clear explanation.

What is the fretscore used for? and how can you get/lose them?

Guessing it's some kind of experience related measure but it would be nice to hear from the horses keyboard...
Thanks!

P.S. feel free to brick me if the question is too stupid, i'm young I can handle it..

  • You click on one of the 3 icons to award a post a fret. Lol, wow or wisdom. They only go up.

    Lol and wow seem to be used positively,  ironically, passive agressively etc.

    Wisdom tends to be given for good adivice or as a sign you agree.

    People with less than 100 probably don't post much. People with more than 5000 probably need to get out more or have been here a while.

    Fret whoring and lol stalking appear to be a thing.

    It can be a useful quick guide to see who is active, coupled with sign up date and post count when thinking about buying or selling.

    Somepeople don't care about them for others it releases their inner child. 

    There used to be facepalms. But apparently the membership wasn't adult enough to use them so the mods confiscated them.

  • There are some here who apparently achieve a fretgasm if they are awarded a certain number in a week and top the weekly chart. (A chart I have still to find / see because it doesn't show up when you're using mobile). 

    It's most useful to me when trying to work out who to trust though.

    basically, the more frets you have the larger sexual organs you posses.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    OK.  I can get that done for you @RandallFlagg. ;

    Might take a day or two, but we'll get you reset to 0.

    I don't know what the little badges/shields are for when looking at a profile....other than they are related to frescoers I assume

    Give them to some-one wiser, funnier and more amazing than me (let me know when you find someone), or auction them for charity

    @Sole - this is unfortunately what happens when anyone asks about "frets" ... all the inner children come out to play.
    There are some here who apparently achieve a fretgasm if they are awarded a certain number in a week and top the weekly chart.

    @Dominic - partly.  It's just a part of Vanilla that we didn't bother to turn off when we set up the forum..   There are various badges (automatically) awarded to show things like
    • how long (number of years) someone has been a member here
    • comment count
    • fret count (which is just duplication with other places that's shown)
