The Forum Ranking System

Don - your expert analysis does lend credence to a conspiratorial influence on the rankings.  I think a tin-foil hat is in order for all of us, but ONLY if it sports a Naim logo. 

That way we can tell the true forumites from the Hoopless interlopers!

Had to take a picture and post via flickr.

So if the picture isn't clear in this post, you should be able to hover over it and click to see the original in flickr which hopefully is readable.

Cheers Don

Good point Mark.

cheers

This is my first post since the end of July. I have not been logged in or posted since that time but during my period of absence I went from number 3 to number 2. Go figure.

Lontano,

They are preparing you for orbit. Shot out of the Forum like a cork from a bottle. ! This single post of yours could be the final straw.

However, I did notice a slight "reshuffle" a couple of weeks back and in particular, it did seem as if the "non-posters" ie those who keep their heads down low, were moving up the ranks.

I wonder.

Cheers

Don

Lontano,

I think its all down to Kuma, who dropped from 2nd place to sixth. No o

idea what wicked faux pas he committed...........

Cheers

Don

I went from #32 to #36 in 1 hour,  go figure that

I really don't care,  its only a forum

Problem is this kind of irritation does not do much for Naim's image - assuming a market leading high quality position means everything has to be quality,  hardware, software & public access inhouse stuff like the Naim www AND it needs to be the same in the forum.  

Good to see you back Adrian.

ATB and a very Happy New Year

Cheers Maurice.

Mike,

Since starting this thread, I have dropped down the rankings, having been overtaken by people who haven't posted for the past week !!!! but who nevertheless get meteoric increases in community points.

There's an "inner circle" and

Outcasts..........

Cheers

Don (not paranoid - yet...... but getting there)

Oh yeah.

I'm a *has been*. <sigh>

Don't worry kuma - I'm a "never was" - lol!

See Don...the minute you shed light on the "conspiracy" you began to drop in the rankings!

Coincidence?  I should say not!

You're going have to do better than that. I've just posted 3 times in the matter of a couple of minutes and rank remained on 299. 1 post won't get you anywhere.

Didn't realise we where being ranked. I'll have to keep an eye on it, wouldn't like to drop out of the top 300.

Just earned 4 activity points.

And another 3.

The harder you try, the further you fall.......

At this rate fatcat, you'll be out of the top 300 by Easter !!

Cheers

Don

Certainly looks like it Kuma, you've obviously upset Hoopless (gawd another drop in ranking for using that word, no doubt) or upset Adam big-time. Keep hanging in there, i'm sure Richard will come to your rescue if there's ever a risk of you being "expelled"

Cheers

Don

that paranoid feeling is creeping up on me.......I can feel it !!

Cheers

Don

Kuma's problem is he has some very dodgy speakers and is high on the list for deportation to an obscure place north of Hadrian's Wall

Despite hardly ever posting here these days I seem to be at #83, well ahead of Fatcat....my New Years resolution is to get to 15,083......

I'm at 350  mostly for whining about the nait xs, now my favorite all time amp, so don't read too much into the rankings..

When Hopeless took over the Forum 2 years ago they said the points system was "secret". They didn't make it clear that the Ranking System is unrelated to the Community Points System. They claimed it was just a bit of fun, so were going to leave the function "switched on". Having seen both systems in action now, I have come to the following preliminary conclusions :

"secret" means even Hopleless don't know what's going on and have no control of the function

leaving the function "switched on" is a euphamism for "Hopless don't know how to switch it off" 

But it is a bit of a laugh  ..........or it would be if only that paranoid feeling would creep away !!

Cheers

Don

Cricky !!

the bloody system has started to highlight parts of my posts.....

Cheers

Don

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the forum rating is and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable.

I think Hopeless' policy is, "If we told you, then we'd have to kill you."
