    Why don't you just post a poll?

    I think you are missing a very key data point.

    The number of times a member has mentioned President Donald Trump in a favorable manner should count for at least 90 percent of the favorable ranking score.

    To help my score let me say

    Statistic are always fun. Who ever tabulates them does so in such a way to prove their own point. I'm sure you did it right for you.

    Here is what I came up with so far;

    Peter 1.728
    Exotix 6.81
    Private Pickle 5.02
    Hanger 2.00
    ripmeister 13.18 Very popular!
    Grok .814 hated!
    Me? I afraid to see mine!

    Should I keep doing this? Is it correct methodology?

    We had people who gamed the system till half the system was disabled and those who played it lost points.

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    What does "level" mean?

    What does "mentioned" mean?
    Tagged?

    Somebody else take over this job. I'm confused!
    Points ares based on things like your activity, posting etc., get enough points and you go up a level. It is just a way to encourage participation if those things mean anything to you.
    When Donald Trump said to protest “peacefully”, he meant violence.

    When he told protesters to “go home”, he meant stay for an insurrection.

    And when he told Brad Raffensperger to implement “whatever the correct legal remedy is”, he meant fraud.

    War is peace.

    Freedom is slavery.

    Ignorance is strength.

    Yes, the first way just gives you the number of posts per thanks. The second gives you a percentage. The further from zero, the better the thanks to posts ratio.
