> of the marginalization going on here of younger monks

BS! I used to be a younger monk and Saints wasn't of special interest.

Being promoted quickly was the dominating fun, like gaining levels in a video game.

But at least after reaching saints this got slower and slower, and one had to find other motivations.

> and what can be done about it.

We could somehow list best newcomers, or so.

Either in an own page or a switch in the saints-page.

The question is still what for, except for fun and/or getting people hooked?

And by the way it wouldn't effect you, this doesn't look too impressive

update

or maybe rather "best performers" - monks like haukex and Eily are regularly in Best Nodes buts still low in Saints, though I don't know how best to measure this.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
      Not what I meant, I rather thought of "best posters of week", month. ..year...

      For instance merlyn hasn't posted much for almost an eternity and is still high in your list.

      Also xp from casting votes shouldn't count here.
