The whole current leaders is glitched. I used to be #4 with 316 AP but the next day I got knocked off even though I should still be in the 6th-7th spot. Don't worry about it.
Average for the days you're active and gain AP that month.
But an average can only be calculated after the time they're recording has elapsed, so it couldn't take an average while still updating during the month. And the numbers are way too high for people to average during a week or day.
no, guys. it's simple. it is based on how many AP your gaining or have gained this month.. as simple as that. and that leaders list last a whole month. some people it glitches on them.. but some it doesn't like for me.. but I haven't been as active the past week so Im not on there. but don't worry not a big deal to be on the current leaders list. I thought it was but it isn't..
The main reason I know of is that you get dropped from the list if any of your comments or forum posts are deleted.
Does that apply to profile comments? If so, that's a bit ridiculous. I've noticed that I've never been getting on the list recently either. Probably because someone somewhere deleted a post I made on their profile.
Well, this is my theory, after getting kicked off a couple of times.
Gaining lots of AP is not enough. You must also be rather active and post/rate/comment often. I was active for about a week on both occasions, and then I slacked off. Knocked off the board as a result.
