How does the sites implementation of Influence Score affect your activity on the site, etc.? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/how-does-the-sites-implementation-of-influence-score-affect-your-activity-on-the-site-etc <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I only joined the site recently and have basically found that the Influence Points are a well implemented tool to keep users engaged through private competition based on how active they are on the site and in the community. I actually really enjoy and it would love to see something similar implemented on other sites. I enjoy the use of badges and points to see who&#39;s really done what around here. <br /><br />How does this system affect your use of the site? Do you even care one way or the other about it? Go ahead and answer, then provide a short explanation below.<br /><br />What are some ways that the system can be improved, modified, or taken further?

But lets be real...Marines are competitive and if we aren't first...

However, I think some are posting things just to influence their score. SGT Jim Z.

I would be doing the same thing with or without it. It does give yardstick to see how engaged someone is with RP as a community.

I really think it stresses me out more than it helps me. I check back often anyway but if I see a negative fall in influence it drives me to keep on the site... SFC Charles S.
