What is exactly is a "Kudos" for Yuku

[TwinsBrewersWorldSeries]

I see that I have two Kudos when I click on Yuku, but i don't understand what that means.

 

Thanks much

The simple answer: Nothing remotely important.

 

The slightly less simple answer: An extremely ambiguous popularity contest based on things like the number of communities you're a member of, how many people you've invited to Yuku, the number of friends you've got in Yuku, etc. For instance, 143 of my 172 total kudos come from the mysterious 'Charisma,' the formula for which is apparently top secret.

 

It's just some hokey rating system that really has no bearing on anything significant.

I remain amused that one of the kudos categories is "Social Butterfly." If I were really a social butterfly, wouldn't I be interacting with people face-to-face instead of on a message board?

 

Yet I have three social butterfly kudos. Go figure.

If we felt like using it, Yuku offers the ability to put a title under each username or set automatic admittance to certain forums based on kudos. I can't see where either would be useful to us here at Brewerfan. Making the feature less useful is the fact that these automatic thingers are based on Yuku-wide kudos rather than kudos accumulated on a single board.

 

Another glitch in the kudo system is that some members started out with one while others started out with one hundred. There might be a course correction sometime.

 

I've never used the feature. The only time I've been tempted to is when someone's come up with something extremely useful on one of the Yuku help/support forums.

All 150 of my kudos are based on charisma. I obviously need to run for office.

how do you see what your Kudos are based on?

If you go to your profile page and click on the kudos number, it'll take you to a page that breaks it down.
