vBExperience Ranking system

[DNP]

I haven't seen this table (ranking) before and wondering if we have a thread somewhere explaining this points ranking or any explanation outside of DNF?

Pred: Do you have two mailboxes as well? :lol:

Hi A, hope all is well. I tried to search the forum, but found no explanation. However, I found it is a plug-in for vBulletin as explained here:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=171014

In short, here is how the score are calculated:

Calculation of the activity
The system calculates the activity by taking the average post count of the ten most active user and comparing it to own post count. This can be set to count only the last X days, f.e. 21 days (controlable via AdminCP) .


Awards
There are four default awards: Community, Posting, Activity and Helpful. The awards are shown in Rankings and Profile. You can set them also to display in postbit near the username. There is a scheduled job running once a day (02:30h) to calculate them.
Via AdminCP they are completely customizeable and can also be assigned manually.


Rankings
Showing User, Level, Awards, Activity Points (experience, thread, post, user, misc) - sortable.

bah I'm only on 4th page by points

can't figure how it works, what is the main component here?

No offense to the DNF staff, but whatever it is, it looks terrible. Might want to think about a redesign.

I'm not even in top 20 pages

I think how long you've been a member matters too - I have more posts/trades than many people who are ranked way higher than me

I think it's just a useless distracting tool...don't know how this will encourage me to trade more domains

This new ranking system is wack, our usernames all look the same..I spent money and time getting mine exactly like I wanted it and it was easily recognizeable...take the crap off and make mine like it used to be please..I opt out.

Don't know what good it is if no-one even knows what it means.

And there are vast differences in post quality.

you must kill more people to get your ranking up,

if the red bar will stop at the begining (0%) you will die...

yeah dnf is primary a business forum, so I don't quite understand how this can be useful.
Besides that people might confuse this with reputation..

 

[gingeman]

just voiced my opinion in the other thread, but never hurts to complain twice! lol

rubbish plug in, has no value or place on this forum.

If it ain't broke...
