User blog:Cyan Wind/Change a rule on the leaderboards

As you know, at this moment, every leaderboard has a rule like this: "Any public profile changes to private after being on this list will remain on the list (unless its user asks to be removed) but the number of will not be updated anymore."

This rule causes several troubles.

Let's think about this scenario: For some reasons, a KA user sets his/her profile to private mode after being public for a while. However, there is a chance that he/she may not aware of being public on KA Wikia's leaderboards. That violates his/her right(s). You should understand: From the start, we did not ask him/her if he/she wanted to be on the leaderboard.
 * For Khan Academy users:

The rule confuses new editors who are willing to help to update the leaderboards. What if our new editor finds someone who has 5,000,000+ energy points? Naturally, he/she will update the Energy Point Leaderboard. And his/her action is wrong because he/she does not know that user asked to be removed from the leaderboard 3 months ago.
 * For new editors:

Ambiguity, ambiguity everywhere. If a KA user wants to be removed from the leaderboard, who should he/she contact to?
 * For current editors:

Therefore, I create this poll to remove the rule which potentially causes a major pain for us.

Should we remove rule #2 on every leaderboard? Yes No
