Roseysun Galicia Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 It would be nice to be able to give Kudos for all posts no matter where they are. I have seen some posts in the People Forums that would be nice to give kudos for yet there is no option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In spite of my intiial misgivings about kudos, I find I also would like to give it to all types of post. Great suggestion, Roseysun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Puddles Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 And I'd like to give Kudos to Penny, because I like to encourage positive use of wit and humour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peggy Paperdoll Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I guess you weren't around when this system was about to be introduced. The kudos were hated by nearly 100% of the users of SL forums. It was seen as a popularity contest and would further the concept of "cliques". And in all honesty I believe that is exactly what would have happened. But, me being me, I would have liked it too.........for the fights and battles that would erupt. LL doesn't like that (and many users of the forums claim they don't either..........not nearly as many actually do as those who say they hate such stuff). I suppose it was a wise move on LL's part. These forums are much calmer the way they implimented the feature. It actually works pretty well in Answers and on the limited forums they allow it now. General discussion? Another story.............it would be fun (for me) but this place would be a mine field. :matte-motes-big-grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were those that liked the system. Nothing is every 100% of anything. Edited to make a correction: I read this "The kudos were hated by nearly 100% of the users of SL forums. " As "The kudos were hated by 100% of the users of SL forums." Sorry about that. Basically I have been around as a reader/lurker since the old forum was in place and recall the transition to the new system. All systems have flaws and none are perfect. I know in the new setting the fighting and bickering has pretty much disappeared. I attribute that to the moderation of the new forum more than anything. Kudos to me are a genuine appreciation of what was posted for whatever reason. Even now in the other areas where it is at kudos are from what I see given to and from people who know each other or have given and gotten kudos from each other before.

Roseysun Galicia Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 You missed the edit to the other post: http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Forums-Feedback/Kudos-in-other-areas/m-p/994173#M2038 I do not recall it being nearly 100% that didnt like kudos. In fact I recall threads from people who wanted to give kudos to other people in other threads and were giving "kudos" inside of posts to others who posted in the thread. I do recall a lot of voices against the ranking system and how that was done. Kudos are just little stars to give appreciation for something.

Peggy Paperdoll Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Bottom line is that I would like to see kudos given in all forums..........just from a slightly different angle. Any "kudos" (stars, or whatever) and, to a certain extent, rankings will find a way to be abused. I am one who really doesn't mind that kind of stuff..........because, I'm one who actually pays next to no attention to those things. I keep my kudos visible just to..........I don't know, maybe make fun of the people who think such things are important? Sorry, I'm that way. :matte-motes-big-grin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now in the other areas where it is at kudos are from what I see given to and from people who know each other or have given and gotten kudos from each other before. I agree, I heard a lot of people unhappy about ranks, but the only negativity towards Koodies was in their connection to ranks. As far as I know, the Lithium ranking sytem gives the option of selecting from up to about 50 different criiteria that can be used to determine rank. I assume, but don't know for a fact, that LL has opted to usekoodies as one of the criteria here, but I think as an option, it would be nice if the Koodies could be given on ALL forums & removed as having anything to do with rank, so that they really were just a "nice" thing for people to give each other, even if it was just for a cool badge or a funny comment. That way it would not be tainted by the arguements one way or the other to do with the whole ranking debate & there would be no need for any accusations of "gaming" it.

Void Singer Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 as far as I can tell they are sectioned off... they only count towards rank in the answers section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooh that's interesting, because Answers might be behaving more like a normal forum after its fixed, so maybe they won't count towards rank there either after that.

Ohh, well then it would be good if they could also remove the kudos from influencing rank. I didnt know they had anything to do with someones rank.

Dresden Ceriano Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'd like to give kudos to myself for adding this idea to the CTUG agenda... lol. Not that I pay a lot of attention to kudos, but I figured it'd be a good idea to discuss. ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Rhiadra Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 What about something as simple as a "Like" button, as just about every other forum in the world has? It needn't be tied into "ranks" at all, and so wouldn't be gamed. It would just be a way to show appreciation for a post that one agreed with or thought particularly worthwhile. But I don't suppose Lithium has the capacity for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dresden Ceriano Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 That would be nice... I do like the forums that have the functionality to click a button to respond different ways, as in: Agrees - Disagrees - Hugs - Shrugs - Slaps - Kicks - Bites - Groans - Moans - Throws the dog a bone... you know what I mean. But that's probably asking too much and, honestly, I'm not too sure that would really be all that beneficial, but it might be fun. Meh... anyway... ...Dres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
