Experience?

[Downloads]

I'm guessing this experience thing is new and if so is it still being trialled?

Seems quite funny that people who haven't ever traded once or posted once are hundreds of places higher ranked than me? Seems a large part of the ranking depends when you registered even if you never did anything and never logged back?

Not really fussed, think my feedback speaks for itself, just seems like an odd system.

Any admin's views / comments, or anyone elses for that matter?

Where are you looking for this experience? Am i missing new option?

If you click on my name (or anyone's name) it's in the drop down menu

Oh ok...neat...interesting. Is it explained anywhere how people are ranked?

It appears that some of the ranking is based on posts.

Not found it yet, but i guess part of it is i just need to keep typing rubbish to make sure i get a high ranking.

Previously i never believed in typing something unless it was worth airing!

I can't really change my join date though, which under this system seems like it would be a big hinderence.

Maybe it's just testing though, don't want to jump to any conclusions!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. Although i do think the join date is a good aspect of experience. The most important thing in my opinion is being a verified member and having a good track record in feedback.

No i totally agree, would be nice to see it balance across the factors though with not too much heavy reliance on one aspect. Would be interesting to see what an admin says if they catch up witht his thread at some point.

I didn't even know about the feature till you brought it up.
I definitely won't rely on it to base my transactions.

lol yeah

I guess it's just my competetive edge coming out and not liking my rank of 700 or whatever it is!

 

[theinvestor]

Oh wow...there's a rank? I must be 5000.

Seems an very odd feature for a message boards, although it's not too visible so it's all cool

I don't really think there is a specific rank other than a level, but i think i just featured at about 700ish in the list.

I hope this doesn't increase the amount of garbage posts.
Thanks for the thread though. Nice to see a new update.

heh yeah, it appears posting might get you some points...

I honestly didn't raise the thread to get my own points up, just i searched on it and couldn't see it mentioned elsewhere!

 

[theinvestor]

My activity level is freaking me out!

 

[Downloads]

OK, they must be playing with features as private messages has changed to notifications (top right of the forum) which now also has it's own menu!

lol Investor

If your activity is 100% does that mean we have no life and are constantly typing!

Maybe you ought to take a break!

 

[theinvestor]

They had an update this morning, so i'm sure these were a couple of the changes.

What does this really count towards?

 

[thevirtual]

I don't think Experience counts Join Date as a factor.

I am ranked around 130. lol
