New Ratings Discussion - Kudos

[Laura F.]

Hi Everyone,

I'll try to answer all of the questions recently ask, please ask again if I missed something:

• CC's question about how ratings are displayed:
  • The way Kudos will be displayed is exactly how you describe.  Your tracker will display the total number of Kudos for that individual message, while the board page that has the list of threads will show the Kudos for the entire thread.
• Ben's questions about tracker:
  • View by latest activity in tracker has not been implemented - I can submit a suggestion
  • You cannot see your highest Kudoed posts from your tracker BUT you can see your most Kudoed posts from your profile.  It will show the top 5 highest Kudoed messages and then you can View All (although it looks like when viewing all they are sorted by date)
  • You can see your most recently Kudoed messages also on your profile page
  • I will submit a product suggestion about the subscription emails
• CC's question about removing the "No" button:
  • Unfortunately, that was not an option with the old system.  Luckily, there will be no "No" option with Kudos!
• muks suggestion
  • With Kudos, the idea of average rating is going away, but there will be the option to mark a reply as a solution for the person that asks the question

Thanks for the excitement everyone!

Regarding the problem with different languages, would "praise" be more easily translated?

Hi,

when bringing up potential misunderstandings in different languages, I just wanted to probe if other international users are familiar with the term "kudos".  As I'm working for NI I'm quite used to this term, but I know, that it's still not part of the typical vocabulary that is taught at school, so that was the reason for my concerns. Personally I agree, that "kudos" should be a good fit.

Thank you all again for your feedback.  The overwhelming majority would like to stick with Kudos.  I am going to enable Kudos and Accepted Solutions later this week.  I am still pinning down the exact day/time.

Thanks,

Laura

Laura,

I don't know you are going to keep up with annotating the accepted solutions, but I like the new system so far.  Kudos to you and your team!

The person who started the thread does that, not the moderators.

How very logical.  Thanks!

Since I'm not an native english speaker I'm unsure about the verb of the noun Kudos. I just changed my signature from "Don't forget to rate ..." to "Don't forget to Kudos ...". I'm rights with that?

Don't forget to give kudos to good answers

or 

Don't forget to kudo good answers

[lmtis]

Or, don't forget to Kudo a good answer.  I would also like to see more people acknowledge an accepted solution to the problem.
