Out of all the stats in the list http://photoshopcontest.com/standings/leaders.html
Which do you think is most important and why? (and don't give me "stats don't matter to me, I do it for love" BS) Honestly, which do you think is more important and why.

All of them a ha ha haaaaa 1, 1 stat, 2, 2stats, 3, 3stats mwaa mwaa mwaaaa I love to count

do a poll Rey, polls are super mega fun

none, i look at the PSSCORE

Crap!!! How do you update the poll to include PSCORE???? ARGH!!!! Can a Mod help?

just go back into edit thread somewhere at the top, and add it to you poll of extreme power and pointlessness

honestly right now votes, VVP and entries are important to me as I am about to hit the 20,000 mark, while maintaining a VVP over 40 and just under the 500 entry mark

Took me a second to realize you were talking about the overall leaders. At first I thought the poll was for individual things and I wondered where the comment choice was.

Anyway I think, in the case of overall stats, the wins column or the PSCore are the two most important to gauge talent. Views, votes and entries are misleading. A chop could get a lot of views based on a controversy, a chopper could get lots of votes by posting 2 semi-solid entries in every single contest but never win (and also get the entries stat). Now most votes on a single chop is obviously different (but can be artificially inflated through a PSC special event).

For me the wins stat is an indicator of good work. I look at the stats and then go to those choppers' portfolios.

I don't think wins means anything. Who is better. Someone with 500 entries and 50 wins or someone with 10 entries and 9 wins. I say 9 wins is batter than 50. As for votes, if you stay here long enough and have enough time to enter every day, you will get a lot of votes, Good work or not. I think win percentage is a better gauge. That and RPP. JMO
What does PSCORE stand for?

stats don't matter to me, I do it for love.

LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE!!!!!

seriously

I think the column everybody should watch closely is the 3rd places runner up... That does mean marco is the best out there.

Taken from jmh's original topic on pscore:

Below is the inner workings of how it is done:

The Variables:

WP = Win Percentage
RPP = Rank Percentile Per Post
VPP = Votes Per Post
FAV = Floating Average Votes Per Post

The Formula:

PSCORE = WP + (RPP/2) + (3(VPP/FAV))

Wp and Rpp are very solid, however, the final piece is a bit problematic. It is based upon the premise of comparing your vpp to other people who registered around the same time as you, thus accounting for changes in voting over time, but for various reasons, it is not as reliable/accurate as another stat could be, so I hope we can revise that part someday.

I actually won a contest here a few years back. With 8 votes! That's like 40 by today's standard. I'm the one who bends the curve out of shape.
