Strava and randomers

tunney

ANYTHING I put on strava, even its a mistaken cycling to work file, gets kudos from some random bloke.

Does anyone else get this?
Is it a bot?
How can I stop this?

Bambaata

I have one guy who does it for every run too and would also love to know about blocking!! Is it Manuel João by any chance?!

trinewbie

Have you enabled you follower approvals? AFAIK without aproval to follow you, nobody should be able to give kudos. I would imagine that turninng this on, then -

Go to my profile - Following - following me - and boot off anybody you dont want folllowing you. For them to start giving you kudos again you will need to approve them as a follower.


....gave you some kudos there :pac:

HAHAHA now I can definitely link the name to username. Turns out your auntie(?) was my teacher in primary school

trinewbie

Weird. I wonder if she is on Strava. Maybe we could give her some Kudos?

sconhome

Yeah Manuel is mad for my activities too, not that there's all that much

Micilin Muc

I have also walked to the shops and been given kudos by Manuel.

sconhome

Actually he is a member of Amphibian King Runners, maybe that is the connection to Mossym, Tunney & co.

Micilin Muc

He recently got 69 kudos for an 8km jog ...

sure if he's following/kudoing a mucker like myself he's bound to be following a finely tuned, half ironman racing athlete like yourself

Trig1

I'm feeling left out!!!! I never got any Kudo's from him :(

Worn Out

Manuel motivates and inspires me, always rewarding to receive Kudos.

how will you get through training without the positive reinforcement?

how about Kat Sugimo, anyone else getting random kudos from Kat?

Bambaata

Kat is threading a fine line!!

tunney

Fvck it. He found me.

Manuel João....

I don't have the heart to block him, he gives me Kudos for everything, even a warm up activity before a race.

I think I started getting Kudos from him when ever I joined the Amphibian King Strava Club.

Get the odd Kudos from Kat too.

Now I have given Kudos to random people too, if they happen to have been in the same race as me and appear as an Other in my activity or if they take a CR off me.

I don't get the kudos anymore, I gave him kudos and said "I don't know you, please stop giving me kudos". Worked

Might start giving you random kudos now to fill the void Manuel left behind :pac:
