Fly in the ointment, but, you’ll find that a lot of high rep high kudos members were mods.

As it should be. I didn’t join Staff to NOT get reps and kudos beyond the dreams of avarice.

Aside from the staff banning thread generating kudos it’s possible that wielding might. Or it might be that the person was “liked” enough prior to be voted a mod and they were just getting a few additional kudos for doing their thankless. Job.
Not sure we could ever parse those questions. I can say that I give kudos when I:
Audibly lol’d
100% agree with a well thought out post
Appreciate the response and dialog
I don’t really have different criteria based on the posters beliefs. Well I take that back. I tend to rep the religious posters less if they are new, and I sometime rep the religious if I get the point they are making and want to show support, despite their delivery or my 100% agreeableness.
Also, since you can’t kudos on mobile that would skew any numbers as well.
What are some of everyone else criteria for a kudos or for a rep?
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

So much hand wringing, and all for what? One of the forums notable assholes is astounded that people just don’t like him or enjoy his digital company.
Can’t see it even when another notable asshole shits all over his popularity pity party thread.
If anyone wants a tried and true kudos booster....it’s the pics and playlist threads. Beyond that, you’re looking to capture the demo that min historically serviced...and the gap between that and other types of content is/was vast.
High information, aggressively negative, and hilarious. A minority report on contemporary western mythology. I think the posters here appreciate it for obvious reasons.
It’s not religionism or xenophobia( though virus initial remarks play on that theme within the context of the sort of content I’m mentioning). It’s our amusement with cleverly worded unfamiliarities. - but that’s just my opinion as a formerly stats obsessed and stats seeking author of a bajillion posts.
