The Member Rankings pages have been the same forever, even before I joined. And when you look at them, you see how much space is totally blank, right in the middle of the page. Now that we have merit badges I believe the Member Rankings pages should be updated, just to swish it up a bit. Here is what I have in mind:

Note the following changes:

1. All merit badges are displayed for each member.

2. The Dead Pool Fixes number has been eliminated, as the Necromancer badge now indicates how good a member is at fixing videos. Besides, fixing dead videos no longer gives members star points, so it is not useful displaying this number in the Member Rating category anyway.

3. The Total Videos Posted stat has been corrected. As it is right now, that number only indicates the number of Sifted Videos a member has, when in reality Total Videos Posted = Sifted Videos + Unsifted Videos + PQ videos. The numbers below Total Videos Posted breaks down how many videos are in each group.

4. Average Votes Per Video has been added. Some members have been requesting this, and it would be nice if we could sort the Member Rankings by this stat. Of course the way this stat is being calculated currently is incorrect (as I mentioned in another Post), so that would need to be fixed too.

I’m totally open to suggestions on how this idea could be changed or improved, even if you think the way Member Rankings are currently being displayed should be left unchanged. Your input is welcome.
