User blog:Cyan Wind/Sum up all ideas & Future implementations for leaderboards

First, sorry for my not-native English. The expressions may be redundant and a bit lame.

As you may know, there was a discussion yesterday about changing the leaderboards (again) to reduce updaters' work and somehow to change your mindset. To be clear, it is not because I am the major updater so I am trying to be lazy. In fact, my current work is on the Internet; therefore, if I really want to, I can update the leaderboards daily. However, that deed may let you think "Hey! That is Cyan Wind's work! Let him or anyone do the rest; I just need to update my position!". It is obviously not suitable for Wikia.

If you become the updater someday, you will realize that every minor datail costs time. What I try to achieve is to reduce some unnecessary work for current updaters, or maybe you in the future.

Last but not least, I want to stop lots of meaningless races for energy points (EPs). Gaining more EPs does not make you become better than the others. You may say: "I want to gain moar, moar EPs because of !!". I can understand it. But how about after Tesla? What makes you want to earn more, more and more? Maybe, it is just personal interest. Or maybe, because of the ranking of Khan Academy Wiki. I can not stop your personal interest, but I will stop the misguiding encouragement on this Wiki.

Here are a quick sketch to demonstrate up-coming leaderboards. If you come up with any idea to improve them, let me know via comment section.

Energy Point Leaderboard

 * Any profile which already earned Tesla-512x512.png (or 10,000,000+ EPs) is placed in a same place and sorted by alphabetic order. There is neither energy point nor "number 1" on the list. You may want to change your display name to be on the top though.
 * Add a rule: Any profile which is confirmed will remain on the list forever, no matter it is public or private.
 * Any profile which is working to earn Tesla-512x512.png is placed in a same place but different "clubs" (9M+, 8M+, 7M+, 6M+, 5M+) and sorted by the number of energy points. There is "number 1" on every "club".
 * Any partial update should be noted with the date.

Badge Count Leaderboard

 * Not really a change. Divide into some "clubs" (every 1000 badges) (5K+, 6K+, 7K+, 8K+, ...).
 * Every club is ordered by Total Badges order. There is "number 1" on every "club".

Videos watched Leaderboard

 * Remove the number of videos watched. Sure you will ask me why. It is super easy to copy/paste the number. However, if we keep doing that, we have to apply the same rule to Answers Leaderboard. A huge work!
 * Divide into some "clubs" (every 250 videos) (6.25K+, 6.5K+, 6.75K+, 7K+, ...)
 * Every club is ordered by alphabetic order. There is no "number 1" on every "club".

Answers Leaderboard

 * Now you should understand why I want to remove the number of answers.
 * Divide into some "clubs" (every 200 answers) (1K+, 1.2K+...)
 * Every club is ordered by alphabetic order. There is no "number 1" on every "club".
