Agree Guinea, I'm not at all questioning if the actual system has flaws as I don't think it does and I agree some fan groups are more active than others. What I'm questioning is what counts for activity. If a fan group member is contributing to a debate on say the debate mansion than how can that possibly be attributed to the celebrity. We all know what goes on in chat clubs...members of a fan group can abuse other celebrities and fan groups,even comparing them to animals and their favorite celebrity gets fan points for that??? We have forum ranking and celebrity ranking so why not member ranking. Attribute fan activity to the fans involved not the celebrity whose fan club they belong to especially when the activity has nothing at all to do with the celebrity.I was one of those who never per se questioned the ranking system in IF which I also understand must be to get a lot of clicks to the site apart from creating ardent fan groups for various celebrities. Always felt that the fan group which works the hardest that particular week ...their idol tops the ranking.
This ranking in the real world means nothing but is more of a feel good thing for fans in IF.However for the past 6-7 weeks have seen a lot of hullabaloo on the view points , so thank you TM for making this post as this is a good platform to clear doubts abt the fan group no. as well , as i have always been confused abt that...all queries have already been asked by various members so I would not repeat the same.I do hope vijay sir does reply on some of these queries as they are important and pertinent questions but not once do I think the system is biased or unfair. In all probability , it is a computer automated system which keeps collecting data on an automative daily basis , just like the chaska meter.
