Ranking?

Happy Camper Happy Camper
I haven't been able to find an explanation on the site at all but I have a curious nature and am used to being a behind the scenes person. So how exactly does the rank system work? As opposed to activity and popularity?

Rank is based on 4 writing factors- reviews, follow-ups, comments on other reviews and comments on your reviews. Each of these adds a certain number of points (most to least in that order).
Ranking is also dynamic- it is calculated on a curve and so is affected by other contributor ranks.

Hope that helps!

To increase your rank, sign in. Then:
Vote on your reviews
Comment on other reviews
Respond to comments on your reviews
Write un-assigned reviews
Write follow up reviews.

Things you can't change that affect your ranking:
*Editorial Rank
*How many times other people vote for you
*The quality people place on your reviews when you vote.

Hope that helps!

I also have a question about ranking. My rank was up to 4.2 (yay!) then I posted two new reviews and it fell to 3.8, why would that happen? I am still pretty active on the site and no one really voted on my reviews, just was a little unsure as to how writing new reviews would make my ranking fall.

I'll be getting my next order with 5 toys in a couple days and I plan on writing reviews for all 5 of them after I've had adequate time with them. Will this make my rank fall again? I love the whole ranking idea and am excited about the reviewing, but I'm a little wary if writing a new review will make my rank plummet again.

About 5 or 6 days ago my rank was at 4.2, since then I have written 3 new reviews and numerous comments on other reviews. But now my rank has dropped down to 3.9. This doesn't seem right. Is there something going wrong with rankings?

I do try That awesome discount that was given out to reviewers, pushed me to max out my cart at 20 items :-O I still haven't gotten that order yet..4 days left! I always have to buy at least $50 so I get the free shipping, which is kinda dumb because I usually pay more for 2nd day shipping anyway. lol Think I just like the excuse to get one more toy.

Yeah, I still don't understand why posting reviews causes the rank to fall. I am wondering if this only happens when the person hasn't reviewed as many toys. My thinking is maybe that the review is worthless until it is ranked by an editor, and while it is worthless it pulls a lot of weight with your other reviews. Just a theory anyway. I am hoping that when I get up to "you know who" range of 190 toys that the rank will be more stable. Seriously Dame Demi, where the heck do you keep so many toys? I will probably get that many toys by the time I'm 90. lol

I'm so curious over the system. I've really neglected the site, I remember I used to soar by in the 7's and 8's and have watched my rank plummet to 4.9. How do I bring it back up there? If I'm destined for my rank to fall so be it but I'm curious on how I can get up to where I once was. If customers hate my reviews then by all means let me stay low but if my falling numbers are on account of not writing follow up reviews or not posting comments on other people's reviews then let me know on what type of activity I need to do in order to get back in the ranking system's good graces.

I actually noticed a review of yours, I think, where there were several comments but only 1 vote besides mine but, in my experience, this isn't usually the case.

Actually, in my reviews, there are constantly votes but no comments. I find that to be worse, especially when they rate me down without saying anything or telling me what they wanted to know more of.

Both are good as a form of feedback too, I definitely appreciate both. It helps to look at where you can improve your reviews, especially questions asked of things you may have overlooked.

I've done 10+ reviews and haven't gotten anything, so I'm assuming not.

3 years after this post, and a few months after I started writing, I finally read this.

...and now I understand...

Thank you! I have a decent rank (at least, I think so) but in this case, bigger is better.

Here is a detailed explanation of how contributor ranking is calculated.
