How many feel like Rally point overestimates how many 1% SMs there are on the platform?

Beats the shit out of me? I just love this site and this type of forum. I guess I'm here to stay until they kick me out!

I think that most RP accounts are fairly inactive. Most people probably create an account to look at a topic they find interesting (as advertised on Army Times or Facebook). However, they very rarely post, vote, or comment. If you participate on RP, you will definitely be a top 1% user.

Very true, it doesn't take much to rise up. Especially in certain groups. I was the top Active Duty E3 for a little while here and I am still in the top 10 for Active Duty E4s despite the fact that my activity has slowed down on this site.

For the most part, it seems like if you fill out your profile you already make the top 5%.
A small group of us is just more active than the others. I'm sure if more SM's used their accounts we would see a huge difference

Better question: how many feel that RallyPoint has grossly undervalued the exceedingly vast, overwhelming majority of participants on this platform who are former members or retirees of all ranks and titles who are indiscriminately lumped into the same mass of nearly 400,000 personnel while Serving Members (SM) are broken out into highly beneficial and infinitely smaller groups by rank? How many think the system should be changed to groups, regardless of status, based upon rank, and rank alone?

Just a thought...if one is still in the service, and your COC lingers on RP, they see what you post. Who wants to risk a career over a stupid post, so it is safer not to. There are retired and ETSed veterans hear who can say what they want without repercussion. I challenged a member's position on some components of the service are less professional than others. His reply was reply was poorly worded, grammatically incorrect and had too many spelling errors to count. While I could have said so to him, what was the point? Additionally, many of the discussions are kind of silly.

SGM,
Not sure I understand how this relates. I do know that I've only heard of two people named Cyr as long as I've been in. Thanks for the comment SGM.

In the E4 grade, there're over 78,000 of us on RP. Therefore, if you're ahead of 780 people in the E4 grade, you're in the top 1%. I'm #26 out of I want to say 78,070 E4s.

Simple math, Staff. If there's a million users, but only 10000 active...they're all going to be 1%.

I remember when it was relatively new and people were striving for blue ribbons and 1% badges ;o)
