Progress report: Kudos

Posted by Kim May 18th 2019, 10:10pm
I've re-created kudos, along with a few completely new features for kudos.

New feature #1: You can give kudos anonymously. WOOT!

New feature #2: In addition to writing a text comment, there's also a list of qualities you can choose as among someone's best.

The mods have noticed that a lot of people don't really have much practice at writing a recommendation, and we spend a lot of time asking people to explain otherwise friendly comments like "She is the best!" That is genuinely super great that you feel that way, but the best at what? Why? Please please write something that explains why someone else should heed this recommendation? My hope is that being able to check a box or two will immediately repair these types of kudos, making them easier to give and easier to moderate. Also possibly searchable to find someone with the quality you want, such as being really good at long posts or concise posts.

List of qualities that can be checked off is as follows:
  • Kind and understanding
  • Helpful
  • Great sense of humor
  • Creative ideas
  • Wonderful writer
  • Drives the plot forward
  • Long posts
  • Concise posts
  • Fast responses
  • Long-term partner
  • Great sense of humor

The limit is 2 per kudos to try and force prioritizing the absolute top qualities you are trying to recommend for that person.
