(no subject)
I'm going to disallow comments on most of (or all) of the posts in this community, since it is mainly to get some information across. The main reason being is that if you comment on this journal, it counts toward commentwhores_ comment rankings, and that's not good.
I guess this is just a general update. Things are going good in the community, and I'm going to UPDATE the way the rankings are shown. For example:
Rank # TW Rank # LW Username Total Last Post Grand Total % contributed* 1 3 pianodude34 1,560 2,425 17.3% 2 2 xxalyoop42xx 1,782 2,140 7.2%
Asterisk (*) denotes how much percentage (%) of last post was created. So, if Post #2 was about to be issued, then it would be the percentage for Post #1.
TW = This Week
LW = Last Week
This is basically still a BETA process, but I'm thinking it'll give users a much more detailed way of seeing their progress. All of the column variables in the table are subject to change, as these are just what came to mind. Also, the totals listed above are NOT at all true--I just used myself and the moderator as examples. The reason for doing it this way would be as follows:
Rank TW: current ranking
Rank LW: to see if you got better or worse
Username: duh
Total Last Post: to see how much you progressed, in comparison to the next column
Grand total: duh
# Contributed: to see how much of the previous post you actually took part in
I may also put a "comments contributed to last post," instead of having you do the math. I'd like to open this up for discussion, but I'm just clearly stating what I'll like to do. Actually, the best thing to do would be to post a reply to the first few comments on the lastest post in commentwhores_, to pianodude34, that way I'll see it, as will others.
This new way of ranking will be established after Post #4 is finished.
