Kudos by experts

[JohannesLindner]

Just out of curiosity:

When looking at the Kudos of a post, there is a tab for users and a tab for experts.

From How to use Kudos:

Click Experts to see Kudos given by high-ranking members of the community.
Experts are usually moderators and other members who had a kudos weight of more than 1 when they gave the post kudos.

Just skimming over some kudoed posts: MVP users, ESRI staff, and Community Managers aren't counted as experts.

So, is this feature used at all? Who are these elusive experts?

Thanks for the question, @JohannesLindner, and for drawing our attention back to that section of the How to use Kudos Help Document. 

There's a world of expertise to go around in Esri Community (looking at MVPs like yourself), but the out-of-the-box Expert role this platform comes with is one that ultimately didn't get picked up when we migrated over from the previous vendor. Our team had initially anticipated it would be part of the mix and wrote that information into the help doc early on.

As much as it'd be interesting really cool for there to be a syndicate of top-secret "experts" stealthily mingling amongst the community (slick handlebar mustaches required), the only truly elusive thing at play was this misleading detail that's managed to evade detection up until you spotted it. But now its reign of confusion is at an end.

Thank you for being a partner in helping us keep up-to-date: That piece has been removed from the article and we've added a note beneath it to highlight that the Kudos Expert button won't show any results.

Thanks for clearing that up!
