Great example @JuergenM , I was thinking British Airways is another good example that's relevant here, you have both Tier Points and Lifetime Tier Points. The first reflective of activity within a time limited period, the latter for all time.  ... View more

@mdfw  I totally agree an inactive user should not be blocking other current and active users from the top of the leaderboard, there are various configurable options for leaderboards so communities can set the timeframe to one relevant and appropriate to their community, a common timeframe is 30 days, although it can vary but I would agree this should not be set to lifetime/ all time.  ...

Thank you @valeria_k for the context and @mdfw for sharing this is something you've also been curious about.    Ranks are designed to recognise a users contributions to the community, and in doing so just one of the ways they build their reputation among their community peers. If the rank is forcibly decreased after a period of inactivity, that would say their contributions aren't valuable anymore. Its probably true to say that in all communities at some point - by virtue of the business products and services evolving - content becomes outdated and less relevant to the viewer, but does this mean the initial contrition is any less valuable? I would argue no, more so, I would say there is a significant risk of motivating less valuable behaviours among your members if they feel they need to force activity to maintain their ranks.    I would love to better understand the problem you're both aiming to solve, I confess I'm not sure I do at the moment.  ...

@djondinium  community ranks recognise a members all time contribution to the community and so are by design intended to give rather than take away.  With the exception of moderated content, it would be best practice to recognise all user contributions (to the relevant value), can you share some more insight on why you want to do this?     ...

Looking forward to that session @LarryI  👍 ... View more
