Oh those pesky points

Now that all that data migration happened, it's disconcerting to start seeing my place slip sliding down the list as people I never heard of are getting thousands of points all of a sudden. All that hard work! *sigh* I know, I know, it doesn't actually matter, but in a way in totally matters. It's an imaginary loss due to playing catch-up on the site. But boo!  BOO!

I hear you.  I feel it's unfair also.  And some of them aren't even on the site any more.  

(Here's Mark's response on my blog to someone else:  https://excommunity.becomeanex.org/thread/24440-rewards-view-funked-up?sr=inbox&ru=4355 )

Yes, your rank may have changed due to people who had participated prior to the platform change and had posted message board posts. When the data is imported they're credited the respective points for that contribution. Since you joined after we moved your rank may drop because people who had migrated and posted message board comments are now getting points and their rank may increase, pushing you down.  In all honesty the points don't mean anything so you can ignore them. Your contributions are appreciated no matter your points numeric value.

Sadly all the data couldn't get imported in January 2017 due to some bugs so when we started the "points" weren't accurate.  Those bugs are mostly fixed so we're getting the remainder of the data in. Before we started this journey to switch platforms we said we would preserve people's quit journeys(their content) and are doing so by importing the remainder of the data.  The points the people are earning are based on things they did in the past so it's not as though they're getting something for nothing.  And yes there are some people who haven't been active on the site and are appearing.  Once the data is all imported there may be some inactive members that I can hide from the leaderboard. It's quite amazing actually now to see how much of an impact some members who have been around for so long have made on the site. Sootie for example told me she didn't participate very much but I can see she really did  Also it's amazing to see how the behavior has changed based on the available functions of the site over the changes that have occurred.  So yes, some inactive and active members have gotten a bump but if the inactive ones don't login their position will stay where it is while you keep moving.

I certainly don't look at the leaderboard. To me it's the quality.  I see posts all the time that are simply amazing and that's what matters. Seeing the numbers does have some impact no doubt as I really get to understand the vast nature of how much has really been poured into the community over time and how people connect.

Hi Mark-----I just wanted to say if I told you I did not participate much I must have misunderstood the question. I don't remember our talking about that (but I'm sure we did).....but what I probably meant was when I first quit I was on the site day and night. After about one year I was not on that often but I certainly am on usually once a day unless I am away from online technology..........

Anyway---just wanted to clear that up.

I stopped paying the points any mind awhile back when I had a fit of awarding them and they were subtracted from me - but weren't added to the awarded folks' totals. 

The system is honestly just not worth your attention  - at all, at all!

Your participation is much appreciated by us all, anyway - regardless of your "standing" on an untrustworthy tally board.
