Today's Leaderboard & Most Active Users

The calculation of the most active users are based on the following:

The number of questions you answered.
The rating score each answer got.
The number of ratings you give to other users.

To prevent misuse and encourage users who only rate to contribute in other ways, there is a daily limit on the amount of points you can acquire via rating. Each user can receive a maximum of 200 points a day from rating.

The sum of the points from the factors listed above will decide who is the 'Most Active User' and determines the order of names appearing on the 'Todays Leadership Board' list.

Please note:

The time period is set as 00:00-23:59 (London time), so the 'Most Active User Yesterday' that you see on the homepage is the user who earned the most points between those hours yesterday.
'Todays Leaderboard' displays the point totals for the 10 most active users since 00:00 (London time) to now.
