Why don īt you do a Ranking, Victor?

Why don īt you do a Ranking, Victor?
 
I am always asking the same.
 
Everyday, I can see very good contributions in this webpage and I think: Which worksheet is the most downloaded in the web? or Which author is the one with more points in this site?
 
Do you ask yourself the same? What do you think? Do you think is a good idea to have a ranking in this webpage?
 
I think could be a very good way to motivate teachers to appear in this ranking and a very good way to acknowledge the work of so many wonderful colleagues in this site as we have and without them and their work this page hasn īt got sense.
 
Thank you in advance!

It can also create low self-esteem not to mention animosity.  I think the website is fine the way it is now.  You have a good suggestion but I don īt think it is appropriate for us.  Victor is a smart guy and he would add it if he deemed it beneficial.

For me,I like it this way.Everyone is doing his/her best to promote the site.We need no more hatered triggers.It would be better if we put Mena īs idea into proctice and plan a meeting somewhen,somewhere and somehow.Only this meeting can break the bridges.
Have a nice day

In my opinion, having a ranking would only make the website a competition for points and for appearing in the īranking � of best and most downloaded works.... maybe I īm wrong!.. but I have been around here for a  week or so, and I like the way it is! Most people are only interested in sharing their wonderful works, not competing I feel.

I think you don īt understand me well!

I know what a wonderful works we can find in this site and we don īt need any ranking for do a competition. All the teachers take part in this site, do it for sharing his/her work and not for having a ranking we are going to lose this objective, because I think is this the objective: sharing our work, and not for being in the ranking we are going to work in another sense, because being the first in the ranking is not the idea.

I suggest this because I think is a good way to recognize the work of lots of teachers and why not, for curiosity. That īs all! I don īt want a competition, anyway.

Take care!

Hello Alberto
 
Personally I never ask myself who has the most points. We know the long time and prolific and popular authors. Who is first etc creates competition and that is not what we need and it is not why we are here. Sorry I can īt disagree more with your idea.

Thank you very much for your replies, specially you, Silvanija for cover my curiosity. I don īt know this possibility you tell me but now, when I want to know this ranking I can do what you say.

And of course I respect all the comments you did. If I do a brief summary about what you say, there are more peoples disagree with my idea that agree with it so, forget it and Peace and Love for everyone. I adore this site and I only want friends all around the world.

Thank you all of you!

My main critics are my students, the younger the stricter!! When they tell me my wss are improving, (thanks to all I īve learnt here), I have a beam on my face from ear to ear. They all know about this site and when they ask me īis this yours? � and I say yes, then they give me their VERY HONEST opinion. Believe me,  everything I do is for them. Most are too big for here, which is why you don īt see them. As Silvaija said, You can see the īranking � easily.
