User blog comment:Wowsk/Bring back Answer Leaderboard/@comment-24808864-20150930143930/@comment-24808864-20151002025122

Well, in case it wasn't clear, Tibet's comment is precisely why at this point of plan my vote is for no.

If Wowsk can determine a creative way to say whether someone "deserves" to be on an answer leaderboard then I would consider it, but as it stands the idea seems to be promoting users to post useless answers.

For example:

I think a person that has only answered about 40 questions but has 20 "good answers" and 10 "great answers" is better than a person who has answered 1000 questions and 100 "good answers" and 50 "great answers."

A leaderboard based on volume answers is silly, but if you can weight it to make important answers more valuable, then I would consider it.

Although, I might be in the minority. Who knows? If you think you have support I would encourage you to open a forum. I am just letting you know my objections here so that you can think of creative ways to address them before we move to the forum.

I look forward to seeing your creativity at work! Show me what you can do!
