How to finish Leaderboard hogging | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Put an auto-remove feature.
Set it to 7/15 days (whatever you think it’s the best), and make it remove everyone on the top if no one else tops them within that limit of days.
Done, no more hogging, no huge inflow of Leaderboard E-Peens. |

Or divide cred/flezz/friends/flamebate score etc by number of days since registration. Maybe not friends actually. |

I like the idea that came up in the last discussion — I think it may have come from scullyangel, but my apologies if it was someone else — that the leaderboards for popularity and flamebate be based on activity (friend requests, replies to threads) in the last 3 months. That won’t necessarily end “hogging,” per se, since one person could be a male reproductive organ and try to stay on top for as long as possible, but it would make it much more difficult to do so. It would also mean that impossibly high stats (such as are gained through tubmail bombing or contests, or just creating a particularly epic thread) would not tend to last long, and that new players would have a good chance of moving up quickly. The one place where I think it might be unfair is that it would reward players who get their friend requests/flamebate replies all at once, instead of building them up slowly over time. |
