Increases in activity scores

mar 03 feb 2009 19:22:21 UTC da Timo

We've received plenty of questions and feedback regarding the activity score, many thanks for all the comments!

You have expressed concerns that the score sometimes won't increase even though you have rated lots of new sites. The main reason is that the scale is logarithmic, as you probably already knew. However, we decided to change the calculation of the score so that it is more rewarding. From this day on, you will get a few more points when you rate or comment sites, or post on our website. The score remains logarithmic, so reaching higher levels still won't be easy.

Due to this change, almost everyone's score is now bigger than it was yesterday. Congratulations to those of you who have reached the platinum, gold, silver or bronze levels!

Fair

mar 03 feb 2009 23:25:45 UTC da evilfantasy

I thought it was fair before but this sounds better. While climbing ranks is always fun hopefully the real motivation for participating is to give and have reliable information.

Is it just me?

I made a few forum posts, left about one comment, and rated a few websites, and my activity score went up 800 points? I think this is much too big of a leap.

A big thank you to all the WOT staff

My activity score went up 800 points as well. This is amazing. I'm now almost at gold level rank and I see you already are, wehaveitall, and I'd like to congratulate you for it.

So does that mean that if you post in the forum you get your activity score up?

Yes, posting to the forum also counts as an activity.

One more thing

I think if you are going to keep the mass rating tool, and are going to make it much easier (or it at least seems much easier to me) you should make using the mass rating tool require either platinum, or just a somewhat higher activity score.

Higher score

My score shot up to and I am not using mass rating tool.Sent e-mail to Deborah last night as I thought it probably a mistake.Unless they are backdating scores for comments etc,on posts,blogs and boards.

Everyone's score increased yesterday, it's normal. We slightly changed how the scores are computed and your existing number of ratings and comments now result in more activity points. The higher you already were, the bigger the increase. This change hopefully makes increasing the score not quite so insanely difficult and therefore, more rewarding, especially after you reach higher levels.

Will these type happen again

Will this type of increase happen again?

I don't think we have plans to change the algorithm again any time soon.

Thanks.

I have many ratings and a few comments, but they have to increase the activity scores together with my family and friends.
