This forum I used to go to had "thank-you's."

But then you encounter the other problem: I would then click it.

Please don't change the Kudos!!

So much better (as delineated above) than "Likes"

So many other forums have "like" buttons. I like that this place is different.

You don't believe that kudos is good enough? KILL THE NON-BELIEVER!

The same forum I mentioned earlier also has 'karma.' (Thank-you's were specifically for posts, where karma was for your profile.)

Sorry Frankster but I think you missed my point, which is that kudo feels to me to be too much higher than like, thus reducing the number I give compared to other forums using the like system. I like Gilgamesh's idea of using karma.

I think you are looking too far into what the button actually means...

We will just have to live with your stingy ways then.

I wish we could give Kudon'ts. I miss the ability to neg rep people. I hate the fact that systems usually allow only like or ignore. I understand that many don't want hurt feeilngs, but why not? Who has the right not to be offended? When someone says something dumb I should have an easy way to express distaste. I wish there was a dislike button on Facebook! We were warned of speech tweaking to only allow for positive ideas to be shared with newspeak and the constant redaction of negative words from the english language in the book 1984. From the wiki on newspeak:

Quote:words with negative meanings are removed as redundant, so "bad" becomes "ungood"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspeak

So I can't kudon't a post to let someone know I think ill of thier post, nor can I neg rep them to show that they are a repugnant entity, much like I can't dislike a post on Facebook. I can only sit back an "not like" the hell out of something I find scathingly terrible, and I find that double plus ungood!

Yes I agree
