It would be better if it weren't called a leaderboard and/or didn't count up like for each person. It's the "scoring" of people I think that causes people to game the system. I think it's more valuable when it shows you posts that were liked alot than when it counts up liker for each poster. That helps you discover great posts that you missed because it was inside a thread you weren't reading. Hello Architecht! One of the problems with the BleederLord in respect of promoting those great posts as you call them is that the 'Popular Content' element of it - the part that shows the great posts ( see below) - seems to roll over on a monthly basis. So as soon as the calendar month is up after it was registered, any like falls away and the post drops down until it disappears. Have I got that right? If so, the great posts will only have a short shelf life and this to me kind of invalidates one of the few positives you've often extolled about the whole function, i.e. the retaining of quality posts for later generations to admire. The part of the BleederLord that promotes the individual by adding up or 'scoring' their likes has lots of tabs, elements and permutations. One aspect I don't understand is why the number of likes a person receives doesn't translate into the 'Past Leaders' tab details. If you look at it today... ...you'll see that I have managed an impressive third place two days running owing to a 16 and a 13 point like accumulation. What I don't get is that I have received 86 likes since the 17th, mostly due to a ridiculously popular Charlton thread (have you read it yet? It's got Gorgo, Konga and Reptilicus in it) and yet my two day tally is only 29. How does that work? Assuming it doesn't, if the part that you aren't keen on (the bit above that scores people ) doesn't even work, and the part that you do like (the bit that promotes great posts) runs off every month, thereby not leaving any great post legacy, then why not switch the whole damn thing off and give greggy back the 16 hours a day he spends liking his wife (come on, that wedding announcement post was a good send up wasn't it?)?

Mr.Mcknowitall Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Leader board is a dufus concept. It does not have to do so much with great posts (I don't even pretend to know what that means on a comics chat board) as it does with a sort of buddy system. Don't like somebody? Post a about the member. You get lots of likes. Not exactly great posts category. An example, I enjoy the humor posts by DR.X. On likes alone, he should be the leader. Nothing phases DR.X. Straight shooter. Don't like him? too bad. Like him? Too bad. But, his humor is unmatched. So, why is he not a leader? Another example, jaybucks, mild mannered Rumple of the Baley. Hard to find fault with his straightforward posts and help with a lot of things...tech, legal, play on words, etc. So why is he not a leader? I get it, but I don't get it.
