Self Kudos Button Suggestion

[coldreactive]

Can you have it direct us to a page to see who gave us Kudos, when and where? Instead of having a rude message of "You cannot give yourself kudos (you loser). You don't deserve it."?

One of the tenants of Kudos is that they are anonymous. :tongue:

Since you cannot give yourself an anonymous kudo (It wouldn't be anonymous if you did) - Sitebot gives a gentle poke in the eye for trying. :blush:

 

If people were able to know who gave them kudos, they would feel obligated to return a kudo. This leads to abuse of the Kudos with things like, "I'll give you one if you give me one" Thus making the kudos just another Twitter "I'll follow you if you follow me" gimmick to make the numbers bigger and inflate the ego.

 

If you want kudos, help other people. But you should not be helping just to get kudos. You should be honestly helping because it's the right thing to do. Kudos are just a byproduct of being a nice guy. :thumbsup:

iirc, IPB stores kudos information anyway, same as vBulletin. But if you insist.

It's not that the information not stored, it's the site owners choice for it to remain anonymous.
