CAD Forum

I am not sure have this been discussed before...

But have we consider implement a ranking/point system like the old forum?

I believe we already have the "data", since our profile already show the number of likes, answered post

Maybe it do not even need to be something fancy but something like a "Monthly Report" of users who Answered most post...

I look and see what's available.

If there are choices, please choose one that ranks according to number of correct answers over the number of likes or number of posts. @Frederick_Law and I have no business being ranked anywhere near people like @josh, @artem, @gupta9665, etc. like what happened in the old forum.

LOL so true.

I personally don't see any value in this, and would prefer Matt to spend his time on other things. Just my $0.02

I completely agree with @SPerman. We are not here to compete with each other but instead to help improve each other and hence every member on the forum is equal.

All members are equal, but some members like @gupta9665 are more equal than others.

I see your points there but i also think that we should give recognition where it is due...
And it may also be one way to keep people active?

But, In term of priority this is definitely on the low side.
I also agree that there are some other ideas/suggestions that could benefit more user(eg: https://www.cadforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=641)

How dare you refer to him as a pig!

I love that idea.

I was a moderator on a forum many years ago. It had a named ranking system ("beginner", "intermediate", etc.) Moderators could change a persons ranking to anything they want, and it wasn't unusual for one of the regulars to have it changed based on something they said or did. I remember one guy got the tagline "special little snowflake" after commenting in a thread that his wife called him that.
