Kudos Points on GMATClub Forum : Tech Support, Complaints & Suggestions

bb · 2009-06-15T01:08:10-07:00

What are Kudos? Kudos are a reflection of quality of contributions at GMATClub as perceived by GMATClub members. Kudos can be awarded by anyone to anyone and are used to show appreciation, gratitude, or indication of value. Kudos are awarded to both a post and a poster. (You must be logged in to see/give kudos) What can I use Kudos for? You can use Kudos to find the best posts on GMAT Club - we publish lists of the posts with most Kudos here: Top Forum Posts . You can also Sort by Kudos in each forum and find the highest ranked discussions or even highest ranked posts within each thread (they are highlighted by green and yellow colors) You can also give Kudos to others - when you click a +1 button to award Kudos, the receiver gets a notification about your award. It works much better than posting a short line saying "Thanks" You can use Kudos to get access to the GMAT Club tests . If you have 25 kudos, you can get full access to the gmat club tests for 3 months. Once you hit this milestone milestones, please visit this page: https://gmatclub.com/tests-beta/redeem-kudos.html You can use Kudos to get a free copy of the GMAT ToolKit iPhone/iPad app Why Give Kudos? We identify the Top 10 members every month based on Kudos and publish the listing here . Interpreting Kudos Near each post, you will see the following information: Kudos.png How to get more Kudos? You can add schools and fill out your GMAT Club profile and that will net you 5 Kudos right away. You can be helpful in the forums and respond to people's questions (any forum works but Math Forum and Verbal Forum seem to get the most) You can create really helpful/cool/unique posts that will benefit others e.g.: Guide to AWA - 1500+ Kudos GMAT Study Plan - 900+ Kudos From 550 to 750 Debrief - 650+ Kudos PS/DS Question Collection - 550+ Kudos And other posts - see here How to check who and for what posts gave you Kudos? There are 2 ways to see this information: 1) Click on the Kudos tab in My Profile area 2) Go to this URL: https://gmatclub.com/static/kudos-details/ and type in your username 2015-03-16_2134.png - Kudos are collected when somebody clicks +1 button. If you benefit from somebody's post, do click +1, which will increase that score, both for the user and for the post. - Only positive Kudos can be given. - You can give only one Kudos point to a single post. After you give that point, there is no way to withdraw it or award another one. The +1 button will be removed from the posts you have awarded Kudos. - Kudos given are usually displayed with a delay of approximately 10 minutes due to caching. - Kudos inflation and cheating is punished by banning - One user can only give 5 Kudos to another user - You get free 5 Kudos by filling out your school/applicant profile and information - We have started giving Kudos for sharing posts on FB and Twitter If you have suggestions or comments about the Kudos system, please do not hesitate to PM me. Thank you.

Kudos

This is damn serious. I posted a document file yesterday in expectation of some kudos and has been downloaded quite a few times. However the ones who downloaded it said that when they pressed the kudos it just keeps loading forever and nobody waits forever just to give kudos . Please help. It's very annoying.

Dear Kudos Cheaters - please please please - continue posting your complaints about the Kudos system in this discussion. I can't emphasize how important it is to us and how helpful your posts are in finding you and banning your profiles from the forum. Sometimes, however, you make it too easy for us, so a small request - please try the sneaky way around and if we don't catch you only then post your complaints here.

Yes, clearly yours was the only legit one. However, everything is logged and saved and while we may not catch cheating right away, we usually catch it at a very important moment and once we do, the account gets blocked and there is no way to get it back, so all the test history, timer history, bookmarks, etc - all goes away. Cheaters beware.

Hi bb ,

I had posted my first GMAT Debrief on 18th of May but still have not received any Kudos/Points pertaining to it as mentioned in the rewards section.

I would be glad if you can look into it and help me out at the earliest since this is the third or fourth time i am asking for it.

Hi. There is a certain number of Kudos that are required to get points past each level - Silver, Gold, etc. Please see this post: https://gmatclub.com/forum/points-not-i ... 44104.html

Hi bb

At present the only option available to redeem kudos seems to access gmatclub tests.
Is my interpretation correct?
