I set up a Slack client for our research group, and it was decided we needed a way to keep track of all the stupid (and clever…) things that people do, in the form of points. Believe me, there are a lot of stupid things we do.

The solution was an additional script I wrote (in coffee script), added to Hubot for slack, that allows us to simply increment or decrement a user name to assign points: @jacob++ would give me a clever point!
