DZ do you plan on adding the Top Rated people on the stats page like you had previously? (with the 1 to 5 star rating system)

Awesome idea

However, surely the reputation system is there for people to see who is respected and provides useful/correct information, and not to make it into a league table of who can get the most positive votes?

I just worry it might turn into a bit of a who's got the biggest score of them all type thingy whatsit

I'm shocked and offended that you don't want to have bitter competition for top spots



I think it's an ok idea, accept one thing - friends. Some guy who helps everyone but has few friends on the plus! forums might not get as good of a review as someone who has lots of friends on the plus! forum but doest squat to help

I am not saying have links to profiles but just their rating beside their name in a table. Like the top 10 rated or whatever. They used to have this before the reputation system.

well i like stats yeah, but as Jeronimo said:

i dunno, maybe some dodgy people will start giving bad reputations oly to catch others up

To be honest I am not against having a league table, but as long as it remained "accurate". By that I mean that people don't give people negative votes to catch up with them as Chrono said, or get their friends to vote for them.

I would be more than happy to have a league table of the top 10 people, as long as those people genuinely deserve to be there

Sadly its open to abuse as long as dodgy people are allowed on the internet

That means we should shut you internet access off then.
