@HideoK: Thanks for the new rule suggestions. It does take a fair amount of time to do the weekly update for almost 170 users.
Your first suggested rule is to cut those that do not meet a minimum level of points. I'm adverse to implementing this rule for a few reasons:
- many of the members below 100 or 50 points do earn a few trophies a week, or some sit idle for a few weeks then jump up dramatically
- many of the members who fit into this category are active members on the forums
- only a few members at the bottom of the list sit there with the same amount of points for weeks at a time (i.e. NeoRatt). IMO, these members should be removed.
Since only a few members sit with the same point total for weeks on end, it might be better to remove them on a case by case basis as oppose to implementing a rule.
Your second suggested rule is to cut those that do not meet a minimum post count. I agree with this suggestion more, and would like to implement it at some point in the near future. As mentioned before and in the first post, this league is intended for active members of the VGchartz forums. Now, I don't want to go and remove those that don't post daily, but I wouldn't consider you active if you only have a few posts to your name (less than 10 or 20 posts maybe?).
This new rule is probably a few weeks away. I'll still like to give it a bit more thought, and I'd like to welcome more input and feedback on it.
In the mean time, I'd like to encourage those who haven't posted in the forums yet, or those with only a few posts, to post a bit more often (on any thread in VGchartz). I'll post the details of the rule a few weeks before implementation so that no one is caught off guard.
As a mentioned before, input and feedback is welcome :)
BTW, sorry I'm a bit late to this discussion, I was away for a week.
