Recently I posted a screenshot of the old bravo leaderboard that used to be available for community members to view but was removed because the thought was it was encouraging competition among members. More recently it seems the removal has caused a lack of accountability both on the part of pm to ensure that members recieve their community rewards that they have earned and on members to not exploit the lack of traceability of "earned" bravos. I thought members may be interested in the current rankings and how they may or may not have changed in the past year and half.

"Unofficial" Bravo Leaderboard for September 2021
The last full months Bravo Leaderboard is from April 2020.

In my my mind it answers questions and promotes discussion. It's not a bunch of meaningless replies of "Congratulations!" that garner 25 bravos per reply. I suppose with the Univac 5000 at hand there is no hard work involved either.....oh well maybe I will ask @J_PM 's opinion on the matter. Spurs me on to update it monthly rather than allow it to be a one off....maybe I will do the solutions leaderboard next.....

@darlicious, you supported the move of the Official Top Contributors monthly post to the lounge correct?
@darlicious wrote:Although nothing has been mentioned about the "abyssment" of the top contributors announcement a move I have suggested and for once actually support its lounge worthiness as I have long complained that the meaningless bravos within cheapen the hard work of communuty members who care only about helping out others within the community. A well deserved bravo for that move!
This thread is an unofficial one (not put out by PM) and does the same thing by announcing top bravo getters why would it not be located in the same place as the Official Top Contributors Announcement?

Please I would love to hear the policy on why this was moved to the lounge and not deserving to be in the community board.

They more or less mirror the community rewards but its never exact.

@darlicious you know your latest addition in your family, though it is tiny, but it is a lot more powerful than your Univac.. right? i menat the Pixel 🙂

Yes bravos vs posts (758) but while @softech and I along with @Anonymous are often the top posters numbers wise this past month @Anonymous blew us all away with 876!
You pretty much hit it on the head with how I track the stats I love the concept of using a spreadsheet! It's more like a scrap sheet of paper handwritten with the occasional mathematical mistake that gets pointed out when I make a glaring mistake when I post in the top contributors thread. Very unscientific indeed and the Univac 5000 is only as good as the stats I feed it.

I'll leave it for @darlicious to answer, but she explained something similar to me. The one big thing you left out was the intensive processing done by her mighty Univac machine! lol

I guess that is very time consuming process. She has to track every 'person of interest' in a spreadsheet; grab number of Bravos at the end of month close to midnight wait until next month end and do the same. Subtract and here is your number of Bravos for the previous month. A lot, lot, lot of work Unless... she has some other way.

I was wondering where the board went, that answers that question.
Good work in the unofficial leaderboard! Btw what was your process in create the listing?

@BlueBYou're welcome! Yesss! Congrats to your recent bump to Deputy Mayor! 😊
10-12-2021 11:35 AM
Congrats on becoming a Model Citizen! 🙂 I recently got a bump too and it's always a nice surprise. Thanks for being a "model citizen" in the community here!
10-12-2021 11:31 AM
@darlicious That's interesting, I'm ranking No. 21 in the unofficial Bravo Leaderboard. And this morning, I got a message from PM I ranked up to Model Citizen. Whoo-hoo! 😁

Public Mobile really should give an electricity subsidy to @darlicious for that Univac too. Or to be honest, it would probably cheaper to buy her a whole new top-of-the-line supercomputer than pay for electricity! You would think she's mining crypto with the power of that thing... 😂

@BlueB wrote:...even as Bravo counts, are they legit? haha
haha, with all the extra work darlicious doing for us, and the electric bill from her Uniavc 5000, she deserves a free Bravo from everyone one of us in the Community , monthly reoccuring like the 2GBBonus 🙂
10-12-2021 10:20 AM
Ahh, right, of course - thanks @softech... post edited/updated with reference to the Bravos now too. lol 🙂
10-12-2021 10:18 AM
@BlueB I think that was Bravos counts, @darlicious has 891 bravos last month

You made 891 posts last month?? We were talking about spammers in another thread... looks like they're not the only ones spamming the Community!!! 😂 ...even as Bravo counts, are they legit? haha
In all seriousness, the work you put in to track all these stats, details, etc is much appreciated. Although we all have fun here, we're also all enjoying the rewards, so you help put everything in perspective. (Your posts are always very informative too to earn those Bravos!) Thanks dar!!! 🙂

Again , thanks @darlicious for the hard work. You have done a great job as our Official "unofficial" Community reward tracker in the Community.
Honest, I don't see any issue for leaderboard and I think PM should be more open-mind in this topic.
I want to remind PM an incident happened couple months ago. There were many questionable bravos on the board given out by 9 brand new members within couple days. These new members came here have done nothing to the Community but just batching out their bravos. (I would not comment and guess the motive of this action as PM never provide us with an official words out of their investigation) Should there be a bravo leaderboard, we would know that immediately and I believe the 9 members (or spammers?) would not do what they did. PM probably have forgotten the incident and hence didn't see the bright side of it.
