    Default vBexperience!

    I've installed a plugin that will award users based on their participation in the community. It's very robust and calculates based on all aspects of participation. Like the rep system, it's not meant to carry any weight or to be treated as gospel, but it does give a little insight as to who contributes the most to the board. Keep in mind, this is new and I'm still going to be making adjustments until I'm comfortable, so a few general things may change.

    Here's an overview on current rankings:

    You can also see any members ranking by viewing their profile.

    The system also gives out awards:

    Activity Award
    Posting Award
    Community Award
    Helpful Award

    Each award uses a combination of statistics from the community to determine the leader of each category, and that leader receives a "trophy", which is displayed in their profile and next to their name in all their posts.

    Here is some examples of what is considered "activity" to the plugin:

    Threads
    Created threads
    Thread views of own threads
    Thread replies of own threads
    Thread votes of own threads
    Replies to own threads
    Sticky threads

    Calculation of the activity
    The system calculates the activity by taking the average post count of the ten most active user and comparing it to own post count. This can be set to count only the last X days, f.e. 21 days (controllable via AdminCP)

    Awards
    From 3.6.8 on there are four awards: Community, Posting, Activity, Helpful. Available in Gold, Silver and Bronze they show up special users. The awards are shown in Rankings and Profile. You can set them also to display in postbit near the username. There is a scheduled job running once a day (02:30h) to calculate them

    “You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?” - Chris Rock
