RE: User Authority - a personal look
Hi taraz. The more I read ans see of this UA ranking system the more concerned I get. This is going to be abused by circle jerks. It seems that if someone has a high ranking and decides to follow you then your ranking goes up. Who says that this is now not a trade able item and can purchase a follower to increase your ranking. There just seems something so wrong with this ranking system.
It is hard to say at this point without watching it for a while but it is also going to develop overtime. Hivemind is also likely to bring options to tailor it further.
I hope it will be tailored as it may be the right way forward but I think it needs tweaking.

It would add another layer to the algorithm perhaps in time.
Hi Taraz I think it will and I see they are looking at engagement as well. It's early days still which is good.
