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.

put info together and alert moderators Jan 6, 2011

Hi,

Report the matter Jan 6, 2011

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.

Please provide relevant details through the support system Jan 6, 2011

Hello keshab,

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.

Kind regards,

Lucía
