I don't feel comfortable in voting "yes" or "no", only because I've seen some forums/threads get pretty heated, even turn ugly

I'm not saying your idea is bad at all, I just fear certain people may not be able to handle feedback that will be meant to be constructive, they may take some of the feedback as criticism, you understand I am sure, for most people such a forum has a good potential, but unfortunately things said over the internet have a greater chance of being misunderstood.
Like I said, I do not think it is a bad idea, it's just that I am a little leerie.
I just don't know. . .
Thanks for listening.
BTW
The kudos forum can be used for boosting self-esteem for anybody, another person or even one's self
