ANSWERS: 8
  • I would like to see most questions posted, most answers posted, most points for answer and question posted, and other sorts that I can remember later.
  • He has? Where? I haven't seen them, but then again I never pay much attention.
  • How about "Most Questions Reported" or "Most Negative Feedback Given"
  • Well... "Most Pills Found" and "Most Confused about the Cause of Pregnancy" are both attractive. But I'm still gonna stick with "quality" metrics. Here's my standard suggestion: For answers, the quality can be measured by a weighted combination of the following: - Overall percentage of positive ratings vs. negative ratings; - Relative position of answers within their thread (i.e. how high do their answers rise in the pile) - Length of answers (not always valid, but in many cases indicates extra effort) - Number of comments / size of comments, indicating discussion generated. Of course none of these are adequate of themselves, but taken across a large enough set of answers, with appropriate weightings for the factors, it should be a pretty good indicator of overall answer quality. For question quality, the number of points, positive percentage, and number of answers received are probably decent quality indicators.
  • I wouldn't mind seeing something like "most imaginative avator" or "most outrageous comment/question/answer"
  • Most glaringly stupid spelling mistakes. No-one's perfect but some are a sight to behold !!
  • Oh dear, as usual I seem to be the last person to hear or become aware of any Site news. What are the new leaderbaords?. I vote for 'Most innovative way of writing duplicate questions'.
  • I'd like to see leader boards that can be filtered by category. Instead of simply having a single "Category Expert" for each category, have an entire category leader board, so you can see more clearly which users are how competent and prolific in which categories. I think it could be useful for allowing a more "Holistic" view of the site's user base and their individual propensities.
