I have a suggestion! What if we have a bar somewhere on the site that tells you the progress you have on your smart score or how many more medals you need to get to the next point? I think it'd be awesome.

Question

thesmartone · Answer

SnartScore is a relative scale. It always changes. So not really practical.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Well then the bar must change with it!

thesmartone · Answer

The more @satellite73 increases in medals and stuff. The more harder @jim_thompson5910 has to work to try to overtake him.

If too many people pass you in smartscore points. Then your SS will drop. And when you pass too many people, your SS increases and someone elses decreases. xD

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Is that seriously how that works?

kyanthedoodle · Answer

That's incredibly sad.

thesmartone · Answer

Yes, unfortunately. This has been sugessted before too. lol.

amistre64 · Answer

its spose to encourage competition.  but i think it mostly encourages gaming the system.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

Then it should most certainly end! That's not how studying is supposed to work!

thesmartone · Answer

SmartScore is what gets people addicted to the site and try to increase it so they feel some level of accomplishment. :)

SS is a ladder. You're goal is to get to the top and be #1.

i don't see any point in this, but maybe there is.

@TheSmartOne knows the secret medal formula...dont ya TSO??? hmmm...?

thesmartone · Answer

It will only result in gaming the system if people knew the formula or this idea was implemented.

anonymous · Answer

@TheSmartOne I know that, but are you ever going to pass it down...?

It's a lot more fun hitting the pinata while being blindfolded.

kyanthedoodle · Answer

What chu talkin' 'bout? Hitting a pinata while blindfolded? Guess how many vases you'll break if you do such nonsense! Just guess!

confluxepic · Answer

I'll probably just bash some peoples heads.

Open Study! Gotta teach 'em all!

thesmartone · Answer

@shifuyanli Yes, I have passed it on. But it depends on who I'm passing it on to. I don't pass it on to anyone and everyone. Only to select users who I know won't abuse it.
