The Silly Kudos Thread

[fr0d0]

It is almost impossible for me to give kudos to someone because tapatalk doesn't have a provision for it. I am rarely on a computer to do it.

I wish this could be corrected because there are plenty of times I would like to give kudos.

Btw I can give kudos or likes or whatever on most other forums on tapatalk.

Why you no use the mobile site bro? Implementing tapatalk meant compromising security so the mobile site was improved.

When it comes to giving kudos:

1 Are you extremely selective or do you give them out simply if you agree with the poster? I give them out if a agree with the poster. If I feel like it. Certain posters make me feel like it
2 Do you ever take back a kudos? I did one when I was testing the kudoing mechanism, IIRC
3 Do you ever give kudos to members that you really dislike? I do, but less so.
4 Do you know members that you feel give out too many kudos? A couple. I'll say I don't agree with kudoing by the person to whom you responded or alluded.
5 What sort of post is most likely to gain a kudos from you? (funny, intellectual, sarcastic etc.) Wise or wise and funny, or just something I relate to


When it comes to receiving kudos:


1 Do you feel you currently get the kudos you deserve? I'm not sure anyone does. 1) Some folks are just too lazy to kudo, myself included. 2) kudowhoring
2 Do you ever post solely in the hopes that you will get kudos? I have if I was completely bored senseless. I'm ashamed.
3 Are you disappointed when no one kudos a post you made that you feel is brilliant? Not so much kudos, but just some sort of acknowledgement.
4 Are there specific members whose kudos you value more than others?
Sure! My favorite posters! But I'll take kudos from almost anybody. (Heck,is there even a way to delete recieved kudos?)

Forgot to answer the questions:

1 Are you extremely selective or do you give them out simply if you agree with the poster?

Combination of agreement and style points.

2 Do you ever take back a kudos?

I'm not that indecisive - at least, I think I'm not.

3 Do you ever give kudos to members that you really dislike?

I don't know anyone on the forum well enough to dislike them. I even occasionally give out kudos to the Christian/Moslem members from time to time.

4 Do you know members that you feel give out too many kudos?

Never really studied it. Some are more generous than others.

5 What sort of post is most likely to gain a kudos from you? (funny, intellectual, sarcastic etc.)

A short one. Pithy gets points. Very rarely a long post unless its a really good argument.

When it comes to receiving kudos:


1 Do you feel you currently get the kudos you deserve?

I guess so. Most of the time although there are the odd dry spells.

2 Do you ever post solely in the hopes that you will get kudos?

There's another reason?

3 Are you disappointed when no one kudos a post you made that you feel is brilliant?

Oh yes. On the other hand sometimes I make a casual post and within hours it has half a dozen kudos scores with me never really knowing why. Its always hard to tell what people will respond to.

4 Are there specific members whose kudos you value more than others?

I guess those that are less prone to give kudos.

I guess those that are less prone to give kudos.

A valid point here I think. Scarcity is often the primary factor in establishing the demonstrable value of any given thing. I never considered it before, but you could probably work up a formula on this site to ascertain the "value" of each members kudos.


max is gettin me to think now damnit.

One of the reasons I like receiving kudos off of Esq is that he doesn't give them out as much as other members. You know you've made a decent post if even Esquilax gives you kudos for it

[vorlon13]

Another site I frequent is very tight with passing out attaboys and another one doesn't have the feature at all, and I'm not accustomed to it.

As a new one here, is there a downside to 'effing up' and putting a kudo on the site equivalent of an untouchable ?

(I do use quite a few smilies here, at other places I've noted problems with the 'Poe' thing)

[Little lunch]

I see kudos as a nod of the head.
I'm not sure of why they're tallied beside the name though.
At the start of any discussion I don't need to know who is the most popular or agreed with person in the room.
It's likely that some people would be less inclined to disagree with a higher numbered person or vice versa.

4 Are there specific members whose kudos you value more than others? luckie's and losty's kudos mean alot to me
