Popularity Thing is all Wrong!
Please try to follow this closely.
The popularity number is based on the number of hits on your profile. As the profile hits go up, your popularity number goes down meaning that your popularity has gone up.
If someone posts a rude, inflammatory or insulting comment many of us will think “Who is this idiot?” and click on their profile. This will cause their profile count to go up which causes the popularity count to go down which means their popularity is up.
Theoretically, this means that over time the least popular person on the site could become, (numerically), the most popular.
To avoid this gross injustice, I propose the addition of a “Who is this Idiot?” Button to bring up an offender’s profile. Aside from bringing up the profile, this button would subtract two hits from the profile count and if you have been following, you know the rest. If flagging is necessary, the flag button would subtract in multiples of ten.
Before searching frantically for the “Who is this Idiot?” button, please note that this is posted under Humour and Fun

...slightly less popular than me? No. That theory cannot be right. Y'all are too cute for words.

Phil, I hate to tell you this but an earlier post stated that there are only 100 active members, here, which means that you are less popular than 136 totally inactive members. Imagine how I feel.ReagierenAntworten - GE
Jan 21, 2010[quote]I think your on to something Art.[/quote] I can just see someone using the "Mark this member as an idiot" feature to get at someone he or she really doesn't like. Depending on how it works, the "idiot" label may become a badge of honour in some cases.ReagierenAntworten - MA

Sounds like a system only the Government could come up with. Good is Bad, Up is Down...

Jul 9, 2016Actually, if you sort the search results by popularity, they are ordered quite exactly by the number of friends on the profile, so number of views probably doesn't enter into it.ReagierenAntworten
