As an MVP for 25 years, why am I not included when top contributors are filtered to show only MVPs?
The question is in the Subject.
Top contributors are calculated as a list of all post authors or replies ordered by the number of likes they have in the current board or category.
If you aren't included, it would be because your stats aren't the top based on our system. Sorry about that.
EricStarker Your system is BROKEN.
If you look at the attached Word Hub Top Contributors Six Months.jpg, I have 37 Posts, 16 Likes, 1 Solution, which clearly trumps Kim_Do with 4 Posts, 12 Likes, 0 Solutions
As a result of that inconsistency, Kim_Do appears in the unfiltered list and I do not - See the attached Word Hub Top Contributors All.jpg
In the attached Word Hub Top Contributors One Month All.jpg, I appear at the top of the list. However, when the list is filtered to show only contributions from MVPs for that period, as in Word Hub Top Contributors One Month MVP.jpg, only Stefan Blom appears.
To reiterate, I am a current MVP and have been for 25+ years.
- Hi Eric,
I do appear in the list when it is NOT filtered. It is when it is filtered to show only MVP's that I do NOT appear.
In other words, even though I am a current MVP and have been for 25+ years, my MVP status is NOT recognized.Doug_Robbins_Word_MVP Your MVP status was automatically added to a different account with your name - this one. I'm assuming this is also you, since there is only one Doug Robbins in the MVP program. That's likely why, when you joined the Tech Community again in November of 2021, your new account was not associated with your MVP status since your old account already was.
I have granted you the MVP role on your new account, so you should now show up correctly.
EricStarker Thanks, Eric.
Yes, that is me though I have no recollection of creating the other account.
It prompts me to raise the issue of why Microsoft has so fragmented their community support facilities. To begin with, we had the NNTP newsgroups, which were a real community. Then, they were replaced by the Answers Forums and some time later, along came the Tech Community and more recently, if I am correct, Microsoft Q&A. I find the latter really cumbersome and do not venture there very often. As far as the Tech Community and the Answers Forums are concerned in the Word hub, both Jay Freedman and Stefan Blom and more recently I, in the case of the Tech Community, are very active in both.
While the Tech Community does have the advantage of being able to include files, I do not find it as easy to work in as the forums.
