Ranking system continued Options

'thanks to Swinelys "Off-Topic-Complaining" '

I'm not entirely sure why you have any power to lock threads on this board NHL. That was entirely on topic and you know it, hence you didn't actually reply to it, so tried closing it instead. I wasn't the one going off topic and directing insults at me because someone has some kind of complex, my posts were entirely on topic from the OP, unless you don't actually understand english fully? (That would be a good enough reason!)

You can not compare points per minute from vastly different size servers, more players = more xp per minute than smaller servers... I won't bother explaining that further as i'm sure you have a basic grasp of maths if you are fluent in several languages. This was the original point that i was agreeing with the OP on. So would you care to add a serious reply rather than just closing something because you know i'm right but don't want to accept it?

I did also say i wouldn't mind helping with any programming etc, but you were too busy telling me to get a life for no apparent reason... which is actually off topic anyway. Whats with the argumentative attitude rather than adding constructive inputs??

Maybe- and thats what i tried to tell you between all my sarcastic insultations - you should think about a better way. Instead of simply stating out the errors of this ranking system, which, as i have said before, is an absolutely free gift to us ET players, you could think about a way to improve it. Think about it: if you would run a page like this, without earning money with it, would you like to read accusations about it's functionality? If all people would just cry about it, i guess the SL wouldn't last very long. I know, how i told you my opinion was a bit rude in the beginning, so i try it in a more calm way this time.
It's a gift, so complaining is totally no option. But i guess you have understood that. Nevertheless, everybody knows about the flaws this ranking system has, and noone i know gives a crap about his rank, not only because it cannot measure your true skill, but also because it's like some kind of penis comparison. And the fact that you seem to care about it so, well, let's say "desperately", although that word is not 100% fitting, makes you seem a little, sorry to say it, ridicilous. Plus the fact that you don't grow tired of pointing out your rank. But that was just for the explanation of my behaviour in some ways. I respect the fact that you apologized and admitted that it wasn't only my bad behaviour that let this topic escalate^^.
Okay, what i want to say is: this page exists for several years. I bet that if the SL-folks would have figured out a better way for a fair ranking, they would have implemented it. So i guess it makes no sense to simply complain about it... come up with some ideas of your own, and offer your help in transferring those ideas into code. Everything else is just whining and beeing unthankful, because this page and its tracker are for free. This is no ass crawling, it's just my view of fairness.
P.S: that Cartman quote comes from the south park/ phantom menace parody, and its sadly the only part where Cartman appears.
