Netwit2008 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I've been pondering this for awhile. I've looked through the rules and TOS but didn't really find anything addressing "Kudos" specifically. You know, the little box under each person's screen name. You can give one Kudo per person. You can also take them away once they're given. As for me, I enjoy giving them for good causes. For example, if I see someone being really helpful in their replies to another poster or that someone has gone out of their way to provide information that might be obscure or hard to find. I've also given them to folks who are witty and give interesting or humorous responses in good fun. I've given them for exceptionally good ideas presented in the mod and mod request sections. I've never taken any away after I've given them. I would imagine that even when folks say they don't care, they secretly enjoy getting them. Who doesn't like to have a positive nod, pat on the back or a little feel good? I thought it would be interesting to see what other folks give them for. So what kinds of things would you, or have you given a Kudo for? Under what circumstances would you take one away? How do you feel about getting them? I know I was very surprised and appreciated it when I got one. Oh and Kudos for stopping by and giving your opinion :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argomirr Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I usually give kudos to people who help me/others or people who make me laugh. ;D Don't think I'll ever take one away, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And too me the more kudos a person has the more you can trust the authenticity of his or her statement. But I guess that doesn't say much for me....

LHammonds Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I give kudos to those that I respect...to those that have helped me out...to those that I want to see in the community...to those that are helpful to other members...to those that are talented and share their work freely. I take kudos away in one of the two following ways: 1. Said person seems nice but actually turns quite vulgar. (happened once)2. Wanted to give a kudos to somebody but had already done so in the past...turns out to be an anti-kudo. I usually catch this and give it back and simply leave a note that I'd give them a kudos but had already done so. I'll agree that it is nice to receive a kudos but do not be fooled into thinking that just because somebody has kudos means you should automatically respect said person or assume that whatever they say is set in stone. Simply take it with a grain of salt among the sea of other discernible information to help formulate your own opinion. LHammonds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply take it with a grain of salt among the sea of other discernible information to help formulate your own opinion. LHammonds Well said LHammonds. Good advice. It does seem though, that many of the folks who have a lot of kudos are ones who are very respectful and helpful, such as yourself. Pays to be discerning though. Also good reasons to take them away. In that case (person turned out to be vulgar or negative later on) I might consider changing my original assessment. If i could i would give more then one to a few people out there I would too Pink. There have been a few moderators I would definitely give more than one to, some "civilians" too, lol. Plus, as AEntreriX said, they are just fun to give. Beautiful picture by the way.

Thor. Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I give Kudos modders who make great mods, and users who back me up when trolls show their ugly heads, there are so many reasons why i give kudos. Speaking of kudos, looks like LHammonds has 666 kudos, the sign of the devil :P . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
