Stemin Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 What's the point? Yes, it's a nice gesture, but I've gotten 3 kudos and I have no idea who from or when, or for what reason. There seems to be no notification whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Your are correct. Kudos are an anonymous expression of respect and/or gratitude. Even the Staff don't know who issued them to whom, or why. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awevalan Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 The silent thanks in the wind...thats what kudos are...besides being supposedly good candy (never had them). For the most part they have fallen by the wayside and been overtaken in popularity by endorsements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 "Endorsements" only go to modders. And then, only to specific mods. Kudos, on the other hand, can go to anyone at all. (Ever notice how many SiteBot has received?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Everyone who is anyone has given Sitebot a well deserved kudo. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stemin Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 I really don't see the point of it since there's not even a notification. I don't even know until I go back and read one of my posts and then I'm just like "when did that get there?" So how should I feel appreciative for something I: 1. Don't know why I received.2. Don't know when I received.3. Don't have anyone to thank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McclaudEagle Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 That's exactly the point in kudos, as what everyone's already be saying. It's an expression of thanks, or even respect for something you did, such as helping someone out with a problem they might be having, or creating good mods, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stemin Posted July 21, 2012 Author Share Posted July 21, 2012 I read what everyone is saying. But what I'm saying is, the system feels meaningless when you have to make an effort to keep track of it. I feel like if someone is going to give me thanks, at least someone should tell me, even if you still want to keep it anonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thandal Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 As far as I can tell, absolutely no one "keeps track" of kudos. One gives them to others (and one is limited to giving another member exactly 1) as an informal reward for whatever the giver found worthy. One notices them, (one's own, or another's) in an "Oh, that's nice" kind of way. That's about it. :whistling: Don't find the idea meaningful/useful? Ignore them. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 There is no rule that a member cannot tell you they gave you a kudo. Or preventing them from thanking you in a post. There are people who would not bother to do this, but WILL click on a kudo as a form of thanks. knowing it is anonymous. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
