Not every contribution can or should be measured but here is a fun little exercise. As a percentage of kudos verses posts, go to your profile and look at the number of discussions you have started or commented on...for example mine is 271 (well 272 counting this one). Then take your helpful, funny and inspirational points...for example mine total 659. Then calculate your batting average, for example mine is 2.43

Gator Gal clocks me at 266 vs. 858 or 3.23

LanSR wins the productivity award 574 vs. 1663 or 2.89

As a benchmark Robin is 618 vs 1533 or 2.43 (Hmmmm I'm tied)

I figured Isadora would score well and she did

360 vs 1779 or 4.94 of course then I found a fault in my calcs...we should combined questions and postings, but let's keep it simple!!!

The exercise nudged me into thinking I should post a little less but say a lot more :)

Of course, I'd advocate that an original post should earn more points than a comment. One could also advocate for a scale 1-5 to recognize really great content. I also think Inspiration should outscore helpful but that would cross the line into "self absorbed poster dude"!

What's Yours?

Can you find the best score at TBD?

OMG we are exactly tied. I am afraid to post a response, what if I don't get kudo'd? And what if I kudo you and you don't kudo me?

Self-absorbed poster gal here.

I think Milt T might have the best score (yes I've been keeping an eye on you people!)

Helpful (992) + Funny (421) + Inspirational (427) = 1840

391 Discussions/replies = 4.71

Well, WC and Robin, I've kudo'd you both funny :) and would just like to say that with only 87 posts and a total of 312 kudos, my "TBD IQ" is 3.59, and I'm durned proud of it!

My humble thanks to all those who find me funny (less so recently), helpful, and inspirational! LOL

Okay, now post more often and leverage that score down so we all dont have to go to self-esteem rebuilding classes :)
