Where's the Kudos

I have just noticed that if you click on the members you get a list of all the members on the forum. At the top of this you have various headings for the columns eg: Join Date, Posts, Last Visit etc. There used to be one there for Kudos too, but it has now gone. Why?
 
It was removed to take the ‘competition’ out of the kudos system.

The important thing about kudos is the positive comments that people receive; it’s of no importance who has the most kudos. So it was decided to remove the kudos list from the member’s area.

Hope that explains it a little skater. :)

If the moderators were anywhere near the top of the kudos list, would the same thing have happened ;)

Sounds more like the working of a socialist bulletin board than a capitalist one.

When it comes to kudos all are equal, but some are simply more equal than other I have found.

Just as long as you don't start censoring the 'search' facility or take control of the distribution of kudos centrally.

Tongue in cheek post! Inspiration taken from China for the 'search' reference :)

No comrade! A genuine SocSoft would either:

(i) abolish the concept of kudos as a reactionary imperialist bourgeoise capitalist construct inimical to the object of the Revolution, or alternatively

(ii) ensure that everyone had equal kudos.

Of course this wouldn't work for very long since anyone whose read Animal Farm knows that some kudos are more equal than others. If there were no kudos they would need to be invented, and if there were equal kudos they would have to be made unequal.

Hence either way it is inevitable that the Central Committee SocSoft Forum (CCSF) would issue an edict authorising them to remove kudos from those independent thinkers considered likely to commit counterrevolutionary thinkcrimes.

Hi

Alternatively, the ruling party could adopt a Pol Pot approach and kill off anyone who understands what kudos are and how they might work.

Oh well, I guess it's time for me to pack my bags and run for the hills... :eek: :D
 
Of course Queensland Education wouldn't have abolished kudosability, having recognised that we are all equally kudosable, though just at varying stages of expression.

They'd just describe it as either:
beginning
emerging
consolidating
established
solid
comprehensive

Gee Bruce, that sounds just like the stupid reports my kids get from school. Whatever happened to telling it like it is?

Peter Sheahan, a Gen Y expert, says that it is because they know that if they called a student lazy, for instance, they would be having the student's parents demanding the teacher's resignation. Gen Y are always to be encouraged, never denigrated, in todays politically correct world.

I'd recommend Peter's stuff for anybody who needs to understand Gen Y. As as employer of 20 of them, I'm finding his Thriving (and Surviving) with Generation Y at Work invaluable. (It's apparently #4 in the business books list).

Many of them I'm finding expect the world to give them a living. I've had a number of them continually missing shifts, stop working without giving notice, coming in to a shift an hour late without apology and without marking the roster. It's an attitude (with many, not with all) that if it doesn't work here, no worry, I can easily get a job elsewhere. It's a big shift from what I had grown up with myself.

My youngest works at the local McDonalds. She is regularly called in to do extra hours when others don't show up. She recently had an offer from one of her friends to go to a concert, but it was at a time that clashed with her roster. Didn't she have a tantrum when I told her that she couldn't go because she had already agreed to work those hours. She thought it was fine to not show up as "everyone else does it". Trying to explain that "everyone else" doing something does not make it right was not appreciated. As parents, we can but try.:(
