Thank you for your inquiry. Every member within AGORACOM is rated on the premise of Activity Points (points accumulated by posting, uploading links, making changes to Hubs et al) and your rating (how other community members rate your contributions based on our five star ranking system). Our system multiplies these two numbers and arrives to your Ranking Points (which defines your rank within AGORACOM).

Activity Points are typically accumulated. By completing an action within AGORACOM, your profile is allocated anywhere between 1 and 15 activity points. Presently your profile has a count of 2511 Activity Points. You can view your number of Activity Points by visiting your public profile page found here: http://agoracom.com/members/livingth...

Your rating is defined by others using our five star rating system. At the present time 83 members have casted your profile a vote, and your average score stands at 3.4 out of five stars.

Our system then multiplies these two numbers to define your ranking points. At the present time you have a total of 8512 Ranking Points. These are likely to fluctuate both up and down depending on how other members rate you. Because your ranking points rely on constant (activity points) and variable figures (your rating) you will experience a fluctuation upwards or downwards from time to time.

Lastly, I have removed several one star vote you received earlier today. This should have restored the ranking points you lost.

Members who have accumulated a large number of Ranking points will experience fluctuations from time to time; however this shouldn't concern you as your rank as President won't be going away.

Thanks again for your inquiry and for your contributions within the AGORACOM Community.

Regards,
AGORACOM
