Quizmaker Ranks

Submitted by akjlddkjslfsd on January 16, 2026
I've noticed that multiple users level on the number of takes are now assigned different Quizmaker Ranks, unlike before when they used to assign them the same rank.

The tiebreaking criteria is not immediately obvious to me.

What's being used to break the ties, or is there not even a proper tiebreaker and they just randomize the order of tied users?

I think QM said the order is based on the account age a while back.

Is it oldest first or newest first then? The latter makes more sense to me since they achieved that number of takes in a shorter period of time.

It's oldest first, though.

I checked Froggodoggo's rank, and she's the last of the people with the takes she has.

The highest ranked person with the same amount of takes has a quiz from 2014

Because you were the most convenient person for me to check that has a drawn rank. Sorry! :(

That's kinda weird.

Maybe older JetPunkers have more experience making quizzes? Is that why they're ranking them this way?

I don't think so though......

I suspect it's purely to be deterministic. Everybody has a unique user id (it appears in your quiz urls) and so using that in ascending order (i.e. account age) means you're guaranteed to have a determined order with no randomness. Additionally, using something like screenname, people could change it to try and be ahead of others.

Any ideas as to why a seemingly arbitrary tiebreaker had to be introduced? In other words, why did they stop assigning the same rank to users level on takes which made perfect sense to me?

The user table list requires everybody to have a different rank, otherwise you can end up with different numbers of people on each page.

Previously we only showed top 200 and a page for each starting letter, which meant we didn't have this issue.
