Not that i'm boosting or know any mappers irl, but if boosting pp isn't allowed, should boosting kudosu be allowed?
again, not that i'm boosting or anything

pp boosting doesn't hurt anyone either yet it's bad


Boosting implies someone else using your account to carry out actions. That is account sharing, which is against the rules.

Oh I get it now. I thought it was just someone telling a bunch of people to like their post and such to increase their kudosu.

Were they ever useful?

They were in the old days, you could shoot kudosu to make a map rank faster

That's sounded like a bad idea imo

Giving kudosu to a map was the same back then as hyping is now, just that one had to put effort to get kudosu, while hypes are free.

Kudosu were a base requirement before a BN could act, and the more kudosu a map had, the higher it was on the list.
Pretty much the same with hypes nowadays. (Although I'm not too sure if there is still a priority list like it was back then)


Edit: Btw I dislike the idea of kudosu boosting, even if it serves no real purpose anymore.

Sorry for necroposting but what is the point of Kudosu in general and why people are Kudosu boosting ?

In the past (Forum modding) it was often exchanged for star priority, which did work the same way the Hype system now does (12 star priority was needed before a BN could act).

Kudosu boosting back then meant that someone could use the gained kudosu to influence maps to appear higher in the work-in-progress or pending list.
Users had to put in the effort to gain kudosu, as QAT and GMT did revoke kudosu if it was awarded for the wrong reason.
If one wanted to actually abuse the kudosu system (boosting) one needed to have either a friend who awarded the kudosu or break the rules by multiaccounting.

As of now, kudosu doesn't have any other purpose than to determine eligibility to join the Beatmap Nomination Group (BN application)

Kudosu boosting now is just as simple as asking others to upvote a mod.
Since it doesn't have any purpose (other than the one stated above), not many people care about it.

I don't know why people would kudosu boost, perhaps so they can apply to the BNG sooner, or because they want to be in the kudosu leaderboard.

The point is that even in something that seems as pointless as kudosu, there's people always willing to get it. We even have a ranking for the users with the most kudosu too.

Eh, probably because kudosu isn't that important in the grand scheme of osu.
