How is the Most Recognized calculated now?
The intent was to keep it the same and expand everything out to 10,000 ranks per category. The complications came primarily from the trust scores and the fact that ~2/3s of the users in that 10,000 group had a 0 value, and because the secondary sort is for date registered, it created larger fluctuations than anticipated under the recognition rank from older users. I knew some ranks were possibly going to shift with introducing a larger pool of users, but not to the extent of what occurred.
Ultimately, after a long deliberation between SM and I, and while trying to maintain the original calculation as close as possible, we've landed on this:
The "
Most Trusted" ranking will
assess 10,000 users, but will only display and rank those with a trust value greater than 0. At the time of this post, that last rank ends up being 3,677. This will obviously fluctuate. Any user with a 0 value for trust will use a default value in the "trust rank" of their recognition score, being +1 of the last visible rank (in this case, 3,678).
Recognition = 10,000 - (earned merit rank + activity rank + trust rank) / 3)) - with "trust rank" having the default value mentioned above for any user with a 0 trust score.
