Possible suggestions for improvement as they relate directly to the leaderboard's categories:
- Possibly extend the places shown in the "client poker” and "referrals" section down to 20 (and specify that either the top 10 get points in the "client poker” section) OR change the "surveys" section to 40 (possible), the "referrals" and "client poker" sections to 20 (possible). This month, the results of the overall leaderboard may have finished differently in the 2nd and 3rd spots had the payers outside of 10th been able to see where they stood.
-Look at standardizing how referrals go through the process of getting verified (and how points are subsequently moved from "held" status and are released to the referrer and count towards the leaderboard) and apply that policy uniformly. For example, having new referrals go through the verification process only when they earn enough points to put through their first redeem, and not before that point seems fair.
-Make a decision as to whether you plan to re-enable the "background check" feature, and if a decision has already been made, prioritize it if you plan to re-enable it. If you don't plan to make it available again, make that known as well. I'm not going to go into further detail as to it's usefulness for the "referral" part, as it relates to the contest leaderboard, or for it's overall usefulness to this site overall.
-If you are looking to add a new category, instead of adding LLB's which for obvious reasons already stated, is a terrible idea, look at possibly re-adding client rake-back to the poker client and a category for overall rake-back received.
