Ok, So I was just wondering, I've been a member of this site for almost two months now, and I've noticed some things, one of which being that the Ranks/Leaderboards NEVER get updated. I've yet too see them change even once. Half the people on the leaderboards, aren't even at that spot anymore, nor do they have the amount of points shown, they usually have more. anyways this has led me to think/believe that, if something as simple as the leaderboards can't be kept up to date, then how am I supposed to believe that there's people or someone going around and finding good comments for handing out merits, or checking for spam and advertising on game comment pages or user profiles. It just doesn't make any sense to me, what's the point in even having them if they aren't going to be monitored and kept up to date. If anything, it should be an automatic process, on my profile i'm currently ranked 5194 out of 1.7m people. If it can automatically update on my profile - then in turn that information should be just as easily sent to the leaderboards and updated automatically day by day. Perhaps they have something planned for AG3 and the leaderboards, I haven't really looked into it, but until that time comes, the least they could do is keep the current AG2 up to date....
then how am I supposed to believe that there's people or someone going around and finding good comments for handing out merits,
I just got a merit two days ago, about an hour after I posed my comment. The mods do have their own lives, Strop is a doctor or an intern, I can't remember the life cycle stage he is at now, Walker mentioned something about a heart attack earlier this year, and Cen is losing his grip on sanity. They're doing their job, just relax.

It actually takes some time, but it does. Once you get into the Top 100, you would know because even as you outstrip the guy in front of you, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a day to change to reflect that on your profile.

Do you mean the Monthly Leaderboard? Because those lag too, but I'm sure they update at the same pace as the Top 100. I've seen it change occasionally, but it's going to be pretty hard to knock of someone who earned 5000 AP in a few days by rate game farming.

I completely understand this, and I would never want for something as trivial as a leaderboards to interfere with the mods personal lives. I apologize for any ignorance or rudeness on my behalf. We all have our stuff to do, and I totally get that.

I'm not really all that concerned with my rating, so much as why the leaderboards aren't automatically updated like the profiles seem to be, and if they are, why is it so much slower? I've noticed that my profiles rating is updated daily, tho i'm not sure of others profiles.
Which leaderboard
Ok, maybe I was exaggerating a bit when I said 'half the people', but a good example is the person in 25th place on the 'Current Leader' board. It says they are in 25th place with 1488 points, but when you click on the profile, it says they have 3008 armor points. Number 24 and couple others on that board are like that as well, should they not be at a different spot on the leaderboard by now since the profile allready knows they have more points?

No, that leaderboard shows how much AP a person has gained in that month. Hence, the name Monthly Leaderboard. For example, the last month leaderboard has Xcalibur45 near at the bottom with 400 odd points. He earned them last month; it doesn't show how much he has already, which is hovering at 23k. Hope that clears things up!
Ah ok, thanks for the information. and yes it does clear things up greatly. I suppose this thread can be locked now, are you a Moderator?
Nope, Moderators have their texts in blue, which makes them easier to identify. Admins have theirs in green. No matter, a mod will just lock this up anyway when he sees it.
Thanks for the info! And not that this is the thread for this, but I have another question, how do I put a link in a post but have it show up as a word instead, as you did with 'list'?
