I've suggested this before, but it was quite a while ago and even though people seemed to like the idea, it didn't happen. I think it would be a great idea if we could have a list of the top 25 to 50 people (whichever), that have the most merits and have it either on the 'View full Ranking' list or somewhere else, but that's probably the best place. I'd honestly like to see where I'm at in merits and how far I am from the person in front of me.

Tryin' to get yourself a little respect there, huh? Anyway, I really don't care whether we get there or not. After all, how often do people visit the regular leader board?

What?

This idea is for people who actually work towards getting merits. Thanks, though.

Merits are achieved if you write a long and helpful comment on a game. Hope that helped...

ok.first this idea isnt to cool. Only a few would look at it and it would contribute nothing to the site.And just because people have over thirty merits doesnt mean they cheat it means they actually know how to spell!! Thats an idea!Oh, and they go to school and actually listen! Cool right?

Personally I beleive most of the people with a lot of merits do not deserve to be recognised. A lot of people made merit worthy comments (not a big deal) and had other people recomend their comments to merit recognization (these people did not "stumble" onto his comments randomly but automatically knew/searched for comments made by him to give him an unfair advantage).


Just because you are referred doesn't mean you get a merit...they give you a merit for it if they think it is good enough. So, just because they have their "fan club" doesn't mean they didn't earn their merits.

Back on topic, yah, I agree this is a good idea (I like 50).

I don't really get why you would have to make a list. I just don't see the point. I don't even care if I get a merit. I worry more about helping the game developer. I try to let him/her know what they should work on.

Making that list would just promote others to ask them to "up" their comment on a game. I think it would get pretty annoying.

Yeah, you do have a point. But in my opinion, I think this would also help people have the desire to get merits so they could get up on the ranks. I do respect your opinion in this because it makes a lot of sense, but I really don't see people just going around asking other people to "up" their comments so they could get merits. All that does is make the comment bolder, doesn't do much. I think this would help people achieve merits along with actually having the list to see where you're at but hey, then again it may also pressure people to copy comments just to get up on the ranks.

Spam is too hard to define. Someone might say spam is when you say "I agree" in a thread. Another person might say it is not spam since you are staying on topic. Besides, it would be way too hard to just compile a list of that many users.

I think this would also help people have the desire to get merits so they could get up on the ranks.


Ryan, you did make some good points as well. The list might encourage them to get merits. The AP list encourages members to get AP. To get AP, they have to spam. If someone wanted a merit badly, they would just copy and paste a comment like you said. The list would take some work to make and there are just too many negative sides to it which would just make all that hard work pointless.
