Are kudos a form of bullying?

Maybe on that Face thingy.  But we have over zealous mods here who remove

nasty posts

I think kudos are pretty strange and don't understand them .

I have more kudos for my OP's than I have posts in the threads yet I look at threads with a lot of posts and they have no kudo's

So I just don't get it at all.

How do you bully  with a lolcat? 

[**meep**]

Yes, I actually think they can be.  An example:  a member makes a derogatory remark about another member.   The comment receives a lot of kudos.  Of course it is reasonable to understand why the person may feel bullied.   I think adding the option to give kudos on this forum was a bad idea.

Disclaimer (LOL)  I am assuming the purpose of this thread was to ask a general question, not in reference to anyone or any specific situation.

You will have to ask your friends who claim it.

I don't know Ibis.  I don't see lolcats as a form of bullying.  They are fun.

You post in lolcats where serious conversations are happening, or in *group* threads where posters have stated they don't want lolcats.  Personally, I don't think it's bullying. I think it's more being obnoxious.

name my friends who claimed it 

and what does it have to do with you?

I do kind of agree with you Meep and it is often used that way but I still like it.  It's great when some type exactly how you feel and it's good to be able to agree with them rather than having a whole heap of I agree posts.

I still don't understand why we have a total kudos score though.  It's unnecessary.
