Why doesn't the site have a list of rankings?
TappedOut forum

I know that I'm probably not the first person to ask this, but why does Tapped Out not have a list of rankings. It would show your current range, and the top 100.

I believe that is the reason - points can be obtained through spam posting and that isn't encouraged nor desired.

What I want to know is how can I get rid of my "deckling" ranking Im #66 shouldn't I be a deck-novice or something at least by now?

You mean like this that shows the top 50 at the bottom of the page and how you can see your current rank on your user page?

@ Kozelek -- You need to upgrade your account to be able to change your title.
@ djlindyswag - I expected another user to answer and then I could elaborate, but I guess I was too soon, so I owe you a better explanation - at least from my point of view. Points help determine rank, and the admins want to encourage productivity and not competition among users.

Was waiting for that meme, Ohthenoises. This thread is now complete.
I've always wondered what that list is... Because there are unranked users on there and some prominent ones are missing....

Lame so I have to spend money to upgrade my account to change my title? Forget that.

There's a lot more that you get with the upgrade. Also, you can't change your title until you make the top 100.

I think $5 is a small price to pay to keep a site going that satisfies many Magic-related needs, but we're all entitled to our own opinion.

Upgrading your account is actually really quite important. You become a much more respected and noticed member of the community that way. You stand out from the plain "blue user" crew.

ducttapedeckbox but.....we want the cake AND we want to eat it too
IE I want a superior product to the other sites out there but I dont want to help keep it going.

Ohthenoises I'm #66 I've been in the top 100 for over 3 months now

Was going to say, ''someone post the drew carey picture", continued scrolling down, and saw that Ohthenoises is already on top of it.

Well money is tight right now as I broke my ankle the weekend before Christmas and thus have not been working and won't be going back to work till mid March so sorry to say but upgrading will not happen any time soon

Ok so what is this ranking system that you speak of? Is it a public thing or an upgraded member only type of thing? Sorry, I'm just confused.
January 29, 2015 10:30 p.m.
sirbar it's the 6th line down from your decks your 1455
January 29, 2015 10:33 p.m.
Its not expensive to upgrade at all, i dont remember what it was exactly but its super cheap, and it helps the site. If you made it to 66, you should definitely upgrade. your using the site enough to warrant that.
January 29, 2015 10:35 p.m.
Kozelek ok thanks, how are the ranks determined? Time spent? Decks made? Comments? Or a combination of things?
January 29, 2015 10:36 p.m.
I know I know, I'm on here like 12-18 hrs a day just messin around talkin shop and (trying to anyway) help people make their decks better and improve everyone's gaming experience, I'm just a cheapskate I guess (hangs head in shame and walks away)
January 29, 2015 10:39 p.m.
Yes, yes, yes and it takes # of "good card suggestions" into account
January 29, 2015 10:42 p.m.
I think he was talking about getting the top 50 people (ranking wise) onto that list (I don't evan know if that's what that list is though lol)

The bottom of the list is users that aren't even ranked.

yeaGO I'm not on that list and I've been #2 for like 2 years. That list is outdated AF.
Then again, why do I care? Rank doesn't matter here. /shrug.

still, it's like a technological "good job" or "well done" or "your parents are wrong, you didn't waste that much time"
