I proposed that any new user should start with 1% of the net worth of the highest person on the leaderboard . But eventually over time due to increase in volumes that 1% may seem too little and in that case we can have a scale down of every user to say about 20 % his/her worth or increase the starting figure to 2%.
If the objective of the scaledown is to encourage new users then this will meet those demands.
The separate tier leaderboards can also be put into place.

I don't know where this discussion is headed....is a case where there will be a different case of scale down or lower scale down still in the offing or are we arguing about something else????
I haven't seen one reply from a Hubdub admin indicating that they may change their plans yet . All they do is clarify doubts on what will happen in case the scale down occurs. They're speaking like its already been finalised and they are just informing us.

I was just gonna suggest that....have 4 separate levels of leaderboards . This way the person on top of the lower level leaderboards will never be too far away to reach and a large no of users will be motivated to reach the top of their leaderboards. The ultimate competition will be on the level one leaderoard

I have been harping on destry's point for weeks ...ever since
I recieved a email from tom for suggestions. I think everyone on top of the leaderboard has worked hard enough to be there and if someone's still in the 1000's its not our fault . Once this reset thing is effective it might dishearten many top users . I'm sure that with a little hard work the users at the bottom can reach where we are in a few weeks. They should be given incentives for that...we shouldn't be penalised .

A total scaledown will go against this hubdub policy as stated by a admin in the officil reply - http://getsatisfaction.com/hubdub/top...
I still feel that users should be scaled down % wise to just decrease volumes and nothing else.

@jenni - I understand 5k-20k is a big jump but isn't 6k to 240k a larger jump. which one would you settle for ?

sd replied on March 20, 2008 19:21 to the idea "Large no. of predictions" in Hubdub:

But the predictions still can't be sorted by category

sd replied on March 20, 2008 19:21 to the question "Sort and search your open predictions" in Hubdub:

ive already requested that ...check out the idea i shared

sd replied on March 20, 2008 17:05 to the discussion "Leaderboard end-of-quarter changes" in Hubdub:

suppose I have all my money on predictions.so in that case my predictions worth 250000 will get scaled down to 20000.But that is gonna make a huge difference . Suppose I actually have a worth of 230000 but through 5 questions I put in 20 bets of 1000 each and raise my worth my 10000 so in that case when the predictions are scaled down then all the $1000 bets will be worth $80 . so my worth which had been artificially raised will go down by a few thousands . Now what am I supposed to do?
I don't like the idea I think that rather hubdub should have reduced all players above 40000 to 10% of their worth , below 40000 to 5%of worth and so on. What do you think ?

sd replied on March 20, 2008 16:42 to the discussion "Leaderboard end-of-quarter changes" in Hubdub:

but suppose I have a bet at 10000 which will earn me 13000 ...does that mean that my bet gets reduced 100 . If so then my earnings too will decrease right ?

Great minds think alike =)

sd replied on March 20, 2008 15:04 to the question "Sort and search your open predictions" in Hubdub:

the questions appear too jumbled up...would be nice if you could space them out for better readability..otherwise looks fine.

sd shared an idea in Hubdub on March 20, 2008 10:47:

Large no. of predictions

When a preson has more than a 100 predictions it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track of all of them and most often people tend to forget about long term predictions and they get reduced to rubble. It would be nice if Hubdub introduces a feature by which users can sort the predictions by category.
