Hi bb Bunuel

https://gmatclub.com/forum/12-days-of-christmas-gmat-competition-day-9-providing-an-open-forum-377892-20.html#p2931019

I would like to understand more about the Kudos awarded for an explanation. Since I was not awarded kudos for a correct answer and what seems to me an okay exlanation, Is it possible that it was simply missed? or was my explanation just poor and not kudos worthy?

In the light of the competition warming up and we competing for every point, this brings back the school memories.!
Why I haven't been awarded the marks when my answer is right. I just need 1/2 marks to get to the top.
Good old days of healthy competition. :D

I know we can't argue with the judgment of the author or evaluator but I am using my right to free speech to do the same.!
:D
Transparency.! :D :D

Please jury bb Bunuel look into the same. I am missing those points also.
Providing the link for the same.
All in the name of healthy competition.!

I completely resonate with my teammate's ElninoEffect thoughts here. :D

@Moderators, appreciate the efforts put in by you guys but request to look into yesterday's SC question below. The answer & explanation were correct but Kudos was not awarded. This has affected my overall ranking too :roll:

Hi. I did not see the link in your message - it was kind of small and not noticeable and at the end so I did not review your post
I gave kudos to sj296 in my reply to his post just to clarify.

I can see why the moderator did not give you kudos "Exactly what I was looking for." is an answer you can give to EVERY question. You did NOT actually explain why it is correct. ;)

Are festivals bound to a particular religion or were they made to do exactly the opposite i.e to make people come together for a common celebration.?
Who knows what led to what or what came first.! :P

Me personally think I finally got the community I was looking for.

So Merry Christmas to everyone #Gmatclub and especially to bb and Bunuel for working without pay on holidays.

Hi bb Bunuel

Please have a look at my message also. I also have been not awarded kudos for correct answer.
Can you please have a look.
My rank is decreasing on the leaderboard.

I just want to know the reason , why I am not getting kudos despite answering the questions right
You can have a look at the below link.

https://gmatclub.com/forum/12-days-of-c ... 77841.html
https://gmatclub.com/forum/12-days-of-c ... 77839.html


I just want to know the reason so that I don't repeat the mistake in any future questions.

Thanks
