nothing troublesome but just an observation..

question is What is the value of positive integer q? whereas the thread name is coming as At the monthly board meeting...

Thank you the kudos actually have to be given by 24 hours (otherwise we would have to have a large angry mob).

The two users you are talking about have green usernames, which means they are moderators. That means they are the ones giving kudos who’s kudos count for points.... moderators can see replies. They’re not hidden for them.

There is no action to be taken.

Hi bb , Bunuel , generis

This is to bring to you notice that my post is being given Kudos by random people even before it is reveled. This may led to confusion as said by bb

I demand that necessary action be taken for these user. Please find below screenshot as a proof. These two user given Kudos before 24 hrs when the answer was hidden. User are mira93 and abhi007.



Posted from my mobile device



Happening same with me as well. bb Bunuel Souvik . Request all the moderators to take necessary action. I missed getting kudos from actual moderators. Please resolve the issue.

Kudos given to me by generis, abhi007, Mira etc. if they are moderators well and good. Otherwise please fix the issue and provide my actual score on my dashboard.



My sincere apologies to generis abhi007 & mira93

bb - Thanks for the clarification.

bb, Bunuel, Souvik - Attaching a screenshot of the kudos i got. Please refer to the screenshot and please do needful if someone is not moderator and still gave me kudos.
Also, I observe that I did not get kudos for some correct questions i answered.
If its a valid case, please do needful again and adjust my score.
i am participating in the competition with very much enthusiasm and want to maintain the same energy throughout.
Sorry in advance If something wrong from my side.

Hi bb Bunuel

I understand Kudos provided are in the full discretion of Moderators and there can be no reason at all for not providing same.

But after posting a good explanation & Correctly explaining the answer, if sometimes Kudos are not provided, then it gets Heart Breaking :(

I request, if possible, to re-look into my explanation for the correctly answered question and provide feedback So that we can improve and understand what moderators are looking for in the explanation.

I want to continue my enthusiasm for this Competition and hence raising this point.

Dear Moderators, bb Abhi077
Though "*The kudos are at the discretion of the moderators that may choose to give them or not to for any reason or no reason at all :-)
[,and i m totally fine with that, there were post for which i not received kudos though i explained it properly (as i think) https://gmatclub.com/forum/hot-competit ... 2#p2600314.
A positive feedback on what a moderator looks into the explanation would be beneficial for all , so that we all can incorporate the same in our future explanations.

(PS- I am not posting to seek kudos)

Dear Superman249 ,

it's up to the moderator, whether they want to give kudos or not.

I have also didn't get kudos for some of the right explanations; So it's okay, which means our explanation was not up to the mark.

We have to explain like, everyone reading the answer explanations get proper understanding.

So don't get upset/feel low when you didn't get kudos.

Do your best always !!!

Rajat Chopra

Sorry, for some reason the old question from 2 days ago to posted. Today's question will actually be much later - around midnight US Pacific time - that's 11 more hours.

Thx.
