Just a thought, but wouldnt it be nice to have a rank somewhere near the score at the profile also.
like this:
GrabCAD score
3958 (2 of 160 000)
That would give people who look at your score a more indepth feel of how much points a person has.
Check image for a suggestion of how it could look.
Back to the "ranking system" again huh? Use the site for its intent, uploading and sharing. This isn't a competition.
Life is a neverending competition. "Survival of the fittest" /Darwin
Most of the code they need to achieve this should already be inside the database, so the work of adding it wouldnt be such a big step.
No its not a competition per say, but when a customer visits the website looking for a designer/engineer you want your name to be at the top of the list. The ranking doesn't really matter but it does help push you to the top of the engineers list which could help you get more CAD jobs.
You're absolutely right Scott, you would want to be on top, but right now being on top has nothing to do with how good you are at designing. Don't you think if customers come here to find a designer they want to see the top designers at the top? I doubt many customers care what your participation rate is in Grabcad that got you there. If you want to take customers into consideration (which is also taking us as users into consideration) then you might as well call it false advertising.
Totally agree - this point system is great but - what's the use of points if we can't know the ranking? Great idea
