RE: [SUGGESTION] Change Statistics in Top of Utopian Weekly Posts

[knowledges]

Hello @espoem, thank you for supporting this project (Utopian.rocks) via Utopian. Your idea contribution is informative and descriptive. However, I find the following statement unclear:

Let's see a simple case with two contributors A and B. A has one contribution with a score of 70 and B has two contributions with a score of 50 and 80. In this case, A is the top contributor.

In my opinion, if we truly want to showcase the best contributor, we should aim for the one with the highest score regardless of the amount of contribution made. If user A has a contribution with a score of 70 and user B has 2 to 3 contributions with at least one contribution higher than 70, then the top contributor should be user B. Also, if user A has a contribution with a score of 90 and user B with 5-10 contribution with the score of each contribution below 90, then automatically, user A takes the lead.

I think this is the only line that was unclear to me. Overall, nice contribution. I hope to keep seeing more awesome idea contribution from you in the nearest future.

Hey, the passage you cite was related to the idea with average but it was mentioned that such a solution is not suitable. The reasoning why taking a number of contributions or the score only is not suitable are demonstrated in the following examples.

1. Taking a number of contributions
   • Let's have contributors A and B. A has 1 contribution with score 100 and B has two contributions with 15. B would be preferred although we can see that it is not right.
2. Taking score
   • Let's have contributors A and B. A has 1 contribution with score 100 and B has two (arbitrarily more than A) contributions with score 99. A would be preferred although we can see that B has presumably put more effort into the contributions.

Your comment, however, made me realise that taking a simple sum of the scores is not enough. But that could be also improved by taking the sum of scores powered to two, which will give contributions with high score significantly more weight but will consider the number of contributions too.
