Big Member Ranking Algorithm change

Comment Published at 20:3720:3721 comments21 comments270 Visits270 VisitsReport

Dear Minti members,

Just to let you know we will very soon be rolling out a brand new member ranking algorithm.

We have been working on a new algorithm for the last 9 months and running it in the background. It's birth is imminent!

The new algorithm will largely reward members for broad support from the entire community, as apposed to support from just a few members/friends.

Note: Some will see a big change in their rankings, we apologise for this, but we believe it is a vast improvement and fairer for the entire community.

Kindest
Clay

Hopefully will go live today or tomorrow.

Hi Clay,

This sounds GREAT . . There are many newer members that do plenty but don't really get noticed. Here's hoping this newer system works and these great members are seen for all that they do . . . . As for the rankings - whilst they are great and do offer many a challenge there is far more to Minti than just rankings . . .

Cheers Kellz

Can't wait to see this improvement. Hey, don't worry about the rankings. I'm not here for the rankings. I'm here just to get advice, chat with friends, blog, and to help out other mums and dads who ask questions etc etc.

Kerri.

Re: Big Member Ranking Algorithm change

not sure it will necessarily benefit "new" members. as people still need to be active and their content popular.

remember that it is a leader board so older members in general have written more content and received more votes etc...

 Sounds interesting. Ranking is not what I'm here for, but any change of any system is exciting. 9 Months really? This is a special child then!!

Re: Big Member Ranking Algorithm change

To be honest I tend to take no notice of the ranking system as it's not why I visit Minti, the support I receive from fellow members is much more important. I hope that people will be able to see past a drop in rank and appreciate what Minti is about.

Re: Big Member Ranking Algorithm change

This is great. It will certainly get a lot of members (who don't necesarilly write a lot / if any articles) recognized for their contribution to the Minti community.

I do hope the change doesn't upset anyone, as this is a change that affects everyone across the board.

 9 months planning, wow! If it's fairer across the board to all members, that can only be a good thing. ( especially for new members)

Ditto to what Amanda said, there are lot of new very active members, I hope that it tips in their favour and encourages them to keep participating.
