How Our Ranking System Works

🏆 Poem Ranking

Poems are ranked based on engagement from the last 7 days. Old poems can still win if they receive recent activity!

Score = (Views × 1) + (Likes × 3) + (Comments × 4)
  • 👁️ Views (Reads) ×1 point
  • ❤️ Likes ×3 points
  • 💬 Comments ×4 points
📝 Example:
100 views + 20 likes + 5 comments
= (100×1) + (20×3) + (5×4)
= 100 + 60 + 20 = 180 points

🔄 Rolling 7 Days: Only activity from the last 7 days counts. Poems fall off after 7 days of no activity.

👤 Poet Ranking

Poets are ranked weekly (Monday to Sunday). Winners are announced every Monday!

Score = (Poems × 2) + (Likes Received × 1.5) + (Comments Received × 1.5) + (Likes Given × 3) + (Comments Given × 4)
  • ✍️ Poems Written ×2 points
  • Likes Received ×1.5 points
  • 💬 Comments Received ×1.5 points
  • ❤️→ Likes Given to Others ×3 points
  • 💬→ Comments Given to Others ×4 points
Key Insight:
Giving feedback (likes/comments) is worth MORE than receiving it!
This encourages a supportive community where everyone engages with each other.

📅 Weekly Reset: Rankings reset every Monday. The previous week's champion is saved in our Hall of Fame!

Why This System?

Our ranking system is designed to reward genuine community engagement, not just popularity. Commenting thoughtfully on others' work is valued more than receiving likes. This creates a supportive environment where every poet can thrive!
