Vijay Sir,

Since you were so kind as to explain some of the details of the ranking system for celebrities recently to one set of fans, we would like to ask you for more clarity. As you are well aware, IF is one of the biggest online platforms and is visited by many TV celebrities, so it would be nice to have clarity and transparency in the ranking system.

We would like some clarification about the definition of active fans in a celebrity's profile and how the points are counted every week.

Is it the number of fans in the fan clubs that are counted? This seems unlikely, given the fan counts of the top four celebrities as shown in the picture posted below.

Or is it according to the number of posts made by the fans in forums across IF. Also, if it is the latter, are the posts in Fan Fictions and Chat Clubs also counted in the post count, or is it only the active show forums of the celebrities which are counted?

If fans are members of more than one fan club, where are their posts counted? In the forums of the respective actors' shows or chat clubs, or for all the actors they are fans of? Many members are fans of onscreen couples, both current and past, so will their posts count in both the actors' fans activity in the respective forums, even if they mention only one name?

Or is there any other criterion you use to calculate the fan count every week?

We would appreciate if you could clarify this in the interest of fairness and transparency on the site, as many fans spend their valuable time commenting for their favorite celebrities and discussing their favorite shows.
