All,
I was browsing trough the list of "top posters", (I know, I'd better get a life), anyway, noticing that all the top posters had a full line of stars, indicating their high ranking in the site.
A few pages down, some irregularities emerged:
And according to this chart, the ranking is not alltogether linked to number of posts, but also some stealth behaviour. Bennem and Chris knows how to use this to their benefit, the others don't. How are the rules of site ranking put together?

I have 197 post in 6 months, 1 week, 3 days and 483 Visits to site since registration with a four star rating?
Yeah, there isn't anything strange with that rating. Why? I'm glad in this forum there isn't as much "posting just to boost the rating" compared to what I have seen in other forums. One solution a forum came up with was to just have all the ratings hidden from the forum section but have it displayed in the profile's of the individual poster. (hope that made sense)

Sadly the multiplier for either new threads or comments is 5x, whereas views is only 1x... There should be some multiplier to post length (excluding bbcode and images)

Rankings that include post count and weight it heavily just add in my opinion to the problem of people posting just for the post count. I won't mention names but some people have improved, while some others have started typing longer meaningless posts to mask that they aren't really adding anything to the conversation.
