UPDATE!Seriously though, the "not including merit you yourself sent" rule - or rather you ignoring it - is skewing things a lot, at least for me.
I've now implemented this. It is once again a complete coincidence that I end up on top again
See the second link for the new data:
http://loyce.club/trust/ranking.old/ (including merit sent by the user himself for voting power)
http://loyce.club/trust/ranking.new/ (excluding merit sent by the user himself for voting power)
I'll leave these 2 links for a while, in case someone is interested to see the difference. New updates will be at
http://loyce.club/trust/ranking/ again, overwriting old data.
NoteNote that, on user's ranking pages, the number of Merit with voting power for that user isn't shown, but it is used for sorting.
Suchmoon (the most generous merit sender) is a nice example:
1. LoyceV (DT1! (33) 1951 Merit earned)
2. DdmrDdmr (1796 Merit earned)
3. Last of the V8s (1361 Merit earned)
4. The Pharmacist (DT1! (28) 1469 Merit earned)
5. o_e_l_e_o (DT1! (
1235 Merit earned)
6. Jet Cash (DT1! (6) 1019 Merit earned)
7. Vod (DT1! (31) 987 Merit earned)
8. xtraelv (DT1! (14) 1005 Merit earned)
9. Lauda (DT1! (17) 835 Merit earned)
10. TMAN (DT1! (15) 864 Merit earned)
The Merit amount shown is the total Merit earned by the user. For example, Last of the V8s ranks above The Pharmacist, despite having less Merit. That means suchmoon has sent (much) more Merit to The Pharmacist than to Last of the V8s, leading to a drop in ranking for The Pharmacist when those Merits are excluded.
