Question Creation Leaderboard
I think it would be interesting to have a leaderboard category for questin creation. Something like a top 10 or top 20 questions defined by activity. This would identify people who have done the best job of creating the most interesting questions with the broadest interest.
I would also suggest against a leaderboard for the MOST questions as that would be too easily achievable and would promote boring, low interest questions only for the sake of creating a lot of questions.
The true goal would be to get people thinking about how to create the BEST questions.

Inappropriate?The "best" question is not automatically the one with the highest activity. See the DIJA questions with high activity, each day, but are they amongst the "best"?
But I like the idea, but anyhow, defining "best" would be quit biased.
It definitely should include some of the most controversial questions (which will not have such a high activity). -
Inappropriate?Good points!
BTW, I stole this question from one of kruij's comments on a question a few days ago.
Thanks, kruijs! -
Inappropriate?I think the last thing we need is more leaderboards. I feel like we are taking this politically correct everyone is a winner theory a bit too far. There are winners and losers, if a person cant find a reason to be motivated then that is their problem. Some of the things I do, is try to move up a particular leaderboard, I pick a user and try to beat them for a given period. The last thing I want is more leaderboards.

Inappropriate?We had been playing around with the idea of having a weekly competition for the best question however I just haven't had the bandwidth to think through how it should best work. We also thought about having a leaderboard of H$ wagered on questions by creator. Tom is pondering how to upgrade users profiles and that might be something we include there.
I’m confident

Inappropriate?I guess there is speculation about whether I got thrown out re the wedding anniversary question.
For the record, I didn't forget. Lesley is Scottish and therefore appreciates frugalness... :-)
I’m amused

Glad to hear that :) -
Inappropriate?Hmm... will keep teasing anniversary comments to self :)
I do like the idea of encouraging good questions somehow, but agree there's isn't a straightforward way to do that. Bayoubear does a good job of keeping up with the DJIA questions, but that doesn't earn him the right to sit at the top of a question leaderboard every week... (sorry bayou)
I've mentioned this repeatedly at this point, but hey, what's one more time:
It would be great to have a digg/rating system for questions we think are good-- either for being very timely (Mork's: When will Hillary concede question would likely be my nominee for last week) or creatively getting to an important issue (Might nominate my own WV racism question).
In the meantime, Lesley's "best of" that she was doing on the facebook page might serve as good suggestions for the type of questions that we would want rewarded. For those who haven't been there: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Hubdub/...
I’m repeating myself (again!)

Inappropriate?Thats okay Jenni, we enjoy listening to you talk.

Inappropriate?Somebody give that cat a saucer of milk. Or is it a dog? Anyway....why not exclude business from the questions? It's an open secret that the top 10 users all made their punting on obsessively refreshing DJIA questions. Take out the business, add the interest! -
Inappropriate?An alternative that we have been kicking around is to score questions based on the number of people who have placed predictions on them rather than the amount traded. That would reward creating interesting popular questions. These could be summed up for some sort of leaderboard.

Inappropriate?Nigel,
That is a great idea! It removes all of the things that could skew the determination. Problem solved.
I’m pleased we have a great solution.
