Kudos

[Ken Anderson]

People have written to my friend Maggie asking her what Kudo are and how one gives them. Here is her answer:- Kudos are a way of saying, " I like this post" or "I agree with this post" or  "Thanks for taking the time to explain that" or "thanks for the link" or "that's funny" or "that's useful" or pretty much anything that makes you glad you read that post. Kudos can be given by clicking on the star underneath someone's name to the left of their post. So, Kudos to you, everyone who takes the time to add information and goodwill to those who help on the Forum.

Thanks!

[Maggie]

Thanks for quoting me, Ken! Almost to the word.

Here is the original post's text:

Two people have written to me asking me what kudos are and how one gives them.

For those who are wondering what they are and how they work, I thought I might  post a simple note here in forums:

Kudos are a way of saying, " I like this post" or "I agree with this post" or  "Thanks for taking the time to explain that" or "thanks for the link" or "that's funny" or "that's useful" or pretty much anything that makes you glad you read that post.

Kudos can be given by clicking on the star underneath someone's name to the left of their post.

So, kudos to you, everyone who takes the time to add information and goodwill to these forums!

And here is the link to original thread entitled Kudos: What They are and How to Give Them:

Well done Kevin - over 700 now.

[kevinlomas]

700?!! Who on earth added all those since I last looked a few days ago!! Perhaps Staff when I suggested they are kudoing each other? LOL

[Ken Anderson]

........and I remember you saying over a year ago that you didn't want any!

[kevinlomas · Accepted solution]

I still think they are a waste of time due to the way they are randomly 'awarded'. Perhaps they should do like some other sites? I am sure you have seen the Was this Useful (or not) tick boxes.

[kevinlomas]

And that ... LOL.

[Ken Anderson]

Probably better if folks returned and used the "Accept this as Solution."

Still I think that you deserve them Kev especially as you should hit the 7,500 post this week. Not bad in 14-15 months on this version alone. 

[kevinlomas]

Well that's jolly nice of you to say so, and I do it all for free also, and often even without a slanging match.

Perhaps unlike Lulu I think if people ask a question then they want a reply ASAP ( because I have 'been there') and I can reply fast, so I do. It's very strange that some of the people who ask for help never seem to return though! Or they do and never say they have.

You don't do so bad yourself, but you could do with a bit of anger management?
