New GMG.com Site Feature: Leaderboard

Harry · December 6, 2016

Here is a link to the new GMG.com site feature: Leaderboard

The new Leaderboard is designed to better highlight our most active members and content based on reputation and other metrics. The Leaderboard will greatly enhance both member and content discovery in our community.

First you will notice the new feature of member leaders based on a specific time frame. You can set to All Time, monthly, daily etc showing those members with the most reputation overall on your community. It also shows the content with the most reputation for the same timeframe so you get a snapshot of both popular members and popular content in one view.

The Past Leaders tab shows the "winners" of each day in a history. The system counts all reputation made each day and logs the members who had the top reputation counts that day. Using reputation rather than post count encourages your members to post quality over quantity.

Those who win the day also get a badge on their profile page to highlight that they were the member with the most reputation for a particular day.

We hope you enjoy this initial launch of the new Leaderboard feature. We are excited about the new content and member discovery abilities this offers and look forward to adding new options to the Leaderboard as we continue to develop! GMG!

The leaderboard filter should should be such that the top 50% of all posters are displayed. Then you can throw in a few more if they've shown a propensity to not get kicked off the board and not abandone the board. Some might argue that this would be too many on the leaderboard, but that's not the fault of the posters.
