Hi Community newcomers! 
In this topic, we’ll look at our Kudos Rewards Scheme, a way for us to identify and reward the most active and high-performing members of our Community.
Accessing the Kudos Board
There are two ways to access the Kudos Board , you can click on the link at the top of the header …
… or navigate to the hamburger menu and click on ‘Kudos Leaderboard’.
How it works
1. Kudos scoring criteria
The Board awards ‘Kudos’ based on your continuous interactions within the Community. A list of these interactions and the amount of Kudos awarded are as below:

| Flag accepted | 10 |
| Post created | 2 |

| Topic created | 5 |
| Solution accepted | 15 |
| User invites accepted | 20 |
| Time read | 1 |
| Likes given | 1 |
| Likes received | 1 |
Kudos are updated every 5 minutes for events of the day, and the board would re-calculate Kudos from the last 10 days once daily.

5. Notes
- Each Kudos Board last for two years. For example, the 2022 Kudos board will last from 1/1/2022 to 31/12/2023).
- When the current Kudos Board ends, your Kudos will be reset and won’t be carried over to the next Kudos Board.
- Any interactions within our minigames e.g. Tester Personalities game WILL NOT be counted towards your total Kudos on the board.
- Interactions within our Miscellaneous category WILL NOT award you with Kudos.
- If you redeem the KRE (Katalon Runtime Engine), KSE (Katalon Studio Enterprise), or TestCloud, you are bound to each tool’s respective license policy and support policy.
