A new feature in Numista; look at your profiles and you should have a ranking according to your contributions (all of them, not just those from now on). It is good to finally have a score for my work (at least now I don't need to mention it and people could believe me or not).
Currently I am #7 Not bad at all for the first in the list that isn't a Numista Team member.

It's nice for people to be recognized for their contributions. However I'm betting that the torches and pitchforks are already being passed out on the French forum regarding the first place.
Where's the recognition for the recent series of coins of the world topics by country and the MPCC? Are they not deemed worthy of recognition? Is it because they are unrelated to the catalog? What about those proving identifications by the dozen every day in the Coin ID forum, which are then hopefully added to the catalog?
I rather fear it's just going to give a new e-peen to be waved, "I'm a better numismatist than you because I've got a gold rating!". ...... Just watch, you'll see.
Non illegitimis carborundum est. Excellent advice for all coins.

im not worried about it much since I figure I've already got my reputation as a passable numismatist having dealt with most of you already and having (fairly competently ) done my job as referee for Germany...But Phil if you don't get a fancy circle you'll have to send first if we swap given my superior ranking ? !!!
It's a bit of a flawed system too dishing out scores for suggesting outings or adding years to coins but not for helping others to ID coins. In my mind contributions from guys like Sujit-Kumar's Quant.Geek and PetrusAscanus in helping to identify all the Indian states coins and ancient coins should be worth more than the 640 points that Xavier has amassed from suggesting outings.

+1 Many members help a lot on the Forum (IDs, informations,...) without creating or working directly on the catalog...

We can only work with the areas we specialise in too. I've been doing a bit of work going through the NZ trade tokens sections cleaning up and adding in the missing coins, but since there are only about 140 of them, I'm never going to be up in the diamond league. I don't really care about that though because the catalogue of the coins I collect looks pretty now and THAT is all I care about
I like it.
I like to do something for this site and improve it. I like to add some small details which might be interesting for other members too.
And, finally I like that Numista likes it too :)
Of course, it is not self-aim ( any member can add just a dot after sentence, and referee will approve it , and contribution score will increase) , but anyway, contribution score partially confirms member`s honesty and his big intreest to Numismatics, and I like it as well.
Good luck to all.

Well, that took less than 24 hours to be proved 100% right.

Cita: "dptashny"Where did he/she even get those stats from??!!
Last time I checked there is only a list for the top 100...
all webs like this based on Exel. and Exel is magic prog.

Magus probably was an active member when Numista was just born and thousands of coins were added.
Or maybe he/she is an active member on French side...

He / she simpering in my Facebook inbox now. I'm tempted to block him / her but it's just too funny.
Which genius invited fanboi #1 to a Facebook group set up for the explicit purpose of having discussions far away from moderators and team members?
Congratulation btw Eli, on the richly deserved top ten place. I'm forgetting my manners!
I still think it's a nice idea but like the Numista Rarity Index being used on eBay to give a false impression of a coin's rarity, it's going to be abused by the dishonest or simple minded. The highly unrepresentative stats are being used by a team member to publically slander another of much longer standing simply because his moderator duties don't show up in the stats. That's just pathetic.

I agree, if we have the "thumbs up" for forum pages, why don't we have one for comments for members who identify coins? These are some of the best contributors, especially those who have to deal with "identify coin plz!!" with no thank yous.

haha cry-baby snitched about my new profile pic and it got removed.
i was told it was disrespectful but being called an second class user and troll is off course absolutly NOT defiling my reputation.?
Furthermore i find it questionable that moderators are able to sneak in our private messages as admitted in our free speech facebookgroup. How else does he have knowledge about my superconspirational pm exchange with pnightingale, bam777 and other friends and members about our top secret plot??
@kenny i dont like the idea about ranking the help in the forums. There will be a lot of likes given and expected in exchange from members just to push up ranks and polish egos.
I wasn't suggesting that we actually give scores for identifying coins, it would be almost impossible to do a search to find out who offered an ID on a coin. I was merely pointing out how silly the whole system is where useless things like suggesting outings is given the same rating as adding coins to the catalogues whereas useful things like giving IDs gives absolutely nothing.
Boo hoo Muenzenhamster, you didn't get a high score on this index so you want to shout down ideas of another index in which you won't get that many points.
Personally I think that it's a good idea if implemented properly (which won't happen).
A like function could resolve that in a way. People could like what you post on the Forum after an identification for example and then you'd get 1 point for every like you receive.
Including this additional feature would also add to the points list users who are helping in other ways through the forum.
Of course that would not take into account what they have posted in the past through identifications, numismatic help, resolving issues...

Cita: "neilithic"I would add Kenny into my comment for his ID of the Chinese and Japanese coins but he seems to have got enough recognition recently ;;):
Haha you should seriously see the french post... point manipulation, really?
Really though, thank you to all the members who have contributed to Numista, both Anglophones and Francophones and all other speakers, whether adding pages, modifying, helping other members, etc. You wouldn't believe how many requests are sent in every day, it's incredible.
@Muenzen Some people really need to calm the f* down, really sorry it happened to you, even over the sanctity of Facebook. When people hate over others' opinions or false rumors, it really shows how weak or immature these angry people are. They need to grow up! haha

^^^^This^^^^ +100
By far the most helpful to newcomers who need valuations, waiting times can be less than 5 minutes before they give a correct ID, I have been blown away several times now with their help, these guys need to be right up there with the top dogs in the list in my (Not so) humble opinion.
What a strange name "EuroMunt", in the UK munt is slang for Munter, meaning Ugly....very very ugly. There is a part of British tradition for you.
