I'd exclude the chosen one who started with 1e6 XPs ahead of others ! ;-)

    He was excluded from the beginning, as his numbers really mess up the average.

      ahhh ... *_X are the corrected numbers .... got it.

      You might be interested in Median and other techniques to eliminate outliers.

      You could even cluster different user types ( "voters" vs "posters" )

      Personally I'd like to see a XP per response level stat ( Re^n: ), but accessing the DB is outside of your possibilities.

        Sure, using median might help, as would grouping. Any suggestions as to the criteria? :)

        Yeah, if only i had db access. It'd be fun to write and run all those queries.
