Kudos
From GMATClub
Kudos is an experimental feature we are introducing on the forums. The basic idea is that good contributions should be rewarded. If you have comments or suggestions, make use of the Kudos forum discussion thread [1]

Interpreting Kudos
Near every post, you will see the following information:
Kudos (this post): 7 [+1] Total kudos: 55
This means that the author of this post has collected the total of 55 Kudos points, including 7 points through this very post.
Giving (+1) and receiving
Post are collected when somebody clicks +1 near the Kudos score. If you benefit from somebody's post, do click +1, which will increase that score, both for the user and for the post.
There is a time limit to giving Kudos. An ordinary member can not give more than 1 Kudos an hour to the same recipient.
Kudos given are usually displayed with a delay of approximately 10 minutes due to caching.
Standings
Who has the highest Kudos score? Check the best posts and posters listing. In the future we intend to give out special benefits to members with high Kudos.
Kudos for moderators (+x and +u)
Moderators can give unlimited (even negative) Kudos. They have two additional controls:
- +x increases (decreases, if a negative value is given) both the poster's and the post's score
- +u changes only the user's score
When giving 10 or more Kudos, please notify (reply or PM) the receiver about the reason and the amount of Kudos given. For example, reply to a post with "Great post! +10." Moderator Kudos giving is not restricted by time limits.
