Site Leaders: Iain is our leader

If you go into a thread and choose 'more' you get the option 'site leaders'.

  • Umm … I tried that but I don’t understand what the purpose of it is. I would infer that ‘Site Leaders’ would be the total number of points a member has on the site, yet the points don’t agree with the total. I tried three different threads and they showed the same number of points. It’s very strange. Might it be another fault or am I not understanding something?

  • If I go into my profile, I have quite a different number of points, 8,228.

    I am not sure what this means.

    For any particular thread I don't think you can get thousands of points.

    Also there are people who have been here much longer than me.

  • I think there is a fault somewhere in the points system because the ‘Site Leader’ points don’t relate to quality or quantity of narrative or post, longevity of member or anything else. 

    I know we have discussed this before, but I don’t like the points system which appears under profile. The idea of points on a forum is usually to encourage people and reward them for posting content. As the NAS is a charity and the forum doesn’t charge members a fee, I don’t think people should be getting points based on the quantity of posts they write.

    Might it be of benefit to some people to post more often? It would be hard to judge as those people mightn’t be in a position to post right now.

    Maybe this would be worth discussing on a separate thread.
