Top Ten Things You Commonly Find In a User Ranking List of TheTopTens

The Top Ten
1 Regardless of the list title, the creator just puts their friends as the first ten in that list

Reminds me of Top Ten Coolest TopTenners in which the creator of the list put himself on top.

I make TopTenners list but I don't put my friends I just put the first name I see or think of

It is difficult to make a user TopTen list, as you have to put the users in first in order to make the list...

And this right here is why I don't make user ranking lists.

2 List titles are pointless most of the time

Some visitors made these names for themselves, like The_Violist. So that list makes sense, but I think there's not enough people for that.

Most Anticipated Users of 2014 was one. How exactly can you anticipate someone signing up?

3 Ranking of the users apart from the first three is done on the basis of how well you know them

How would you vote for someone if you don't know about them or their lists? This item makes no sense.

I totally agree with this.

4 Reason why the user is good - They are nice

Some new users who do nothing on the site get 100 followers, while the actual contributors get about 20 or 30.

It's a good reason, but add a comment to support your claim and/or expand upon it.

You shouldn't judge them only on kindness, how about list quality.

Wouldn't it seem more professional if you be more specific?

5 No mention of users you dislike even if they actually deserve it

I can't name users but I do hate some visitors who can't even respect my opinion

6 Making a monthly list and putting your friends and popular users on it regardless of who was brilliant in that month
7 Putting popular users in certain titles where they aren't particularly good at

Seriously, Britgirl was high on the List of Users with the best Blog Posts or something.

8 Making weird titles for user ranking lists just for the sake of making them

Lol. I made Top Ten Users of TheTopTens With the Stinkiest Farts. I made it just to mess around. List ideas are scarce these days, so of course I had to use the first idea that came in my mind.

9 A user having the same top ten order in all the user ranking lists they make regardless of the list title

You see this in lists about music artists too. I've seen it too much.

10 Listing underrated users in TheTopTen and giving reasons like they should too get a mention even if the title has no "underrated" word in it

This one makes sense if you have a convincing argument, such as with Hardest Working Inspiring Users, but most of the time it's shallow and redundant.

The Contenders
11 If it's anything good PositronWildhawk and Britgirl are always at the top

Very true. I'm tired of this user fanboying and fangirling without even thinking if they are fit to be on top of that certain category. Most of the time, these two users are treated like gods.

Anyways, there is this one user who keeps on complaining about the users of this site hating you because of not liking metal. Pos and Britgirl are ALWAYS TOP 2 on almost every positive user ranking list whereas they don't even like metal, either.

They only put them there because they're popular. Popularity doesn't always equal quality.

When I make my user ranking lists, I make sure they aren't at the top.

Great users, but there are other users on this site, you know.

12 Users repeatedly voting for themselves as the best

They think being higher on a lame user ranking list makes them a better user than others which is why they spam vote themselves on it.

I voted for myself once, and another person once. I'll keep voting for that person.
