Aurora: Member metrics for ranking formulas
You can include any per-member metrics in your ranking formulas. However, you cannot use per-post metrics or metrics that relate to general areas of the community, like groups.
You can include any of the following member metrics as variables in your ranking formulas.
Note: This is not a complete list but rather a list of the more common member metrics that you may consider using in your formulas.
