It would seem kind of redundant to have kudos voting while still asking for a reason why a person voted the way they did. By using voting templates, users should say the reason why they vote support or oppose when they place their vote. Of those 12 users that voted support using the kudos button, only 3 of them gave reasons why. I would like to know the reason the other 9 users voted support. Thanks for the reply. One of the issues I found with repeated use of the voting templates is that the layout of them gets broken when they're used multiple times (I don't know which template it is, but I believe there's a fix to stop that happening), which creates a pointless space between the image and the template name.

One of the reasons I wanted to trial this system is because I felt that many people were simply making a post with a voting template, but just saying things like "What X said", where X is another user they agree with, which led to multiple posts that could've been avoided if Kudos was used.

Maybe what is needed is for people to be more "aware" of the Kudos system, by asking people to use it if they agree with a post, rather than just making a post to say "what he/she said" ?
