Hello,
I have noticed a peculiar trend in one of my pairs. A person asked many questions and grade points only to one person neglecting all negative peer comments. Not only that, when that person post completely different answer the asker has changed the question according to that answer in glossary entry.

I haven't seen anything so bad as you described, but I have noticed that certain people do award points also based on friendship. You can tell by the way they congratulate each other. Although there is certain tolerance for this type of behavior, I'm sure it could be ... See more Hi,

You should report this to your Kudoz moderator. If the abuse is obvious (and sometimes, the asker and answerer are found to have the same IP address, i.e. it's the same person asking and awarding points to themselves), I think the user can sometimes be warned or blocked.

Could you please submit a support request and provide all relevant details? This will help me look into this further.
I am now locking this thread as the topic is outside the scope of the forums. Thanks in advance for your understanding and cooperation.
