It can serve as many purposes as there are users, more or less. Ok that's something of an exaggeration, but personally, I find it a convenient shorthand to acknowledge a post that may be directed at me without having to post a quoted reply, which may come several pages after the original post, given the way this lot can avalanche sometimes. The usual purpose, for which it was designed, is again a shorthand for indicating that you like or agree with someone's words, with the option to expand in a reply of your own.

Yes there is, it's the thumb-up button. You simply don't click it. If you really want to express dislike, it's only fair to explain why in a post of your own.
Incidentally, the singular form of the word 'kudos' is - 'kudos'. The word means "fame or renown" and is of Greek derivation, 19th century.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
