Top Participants and Jive

Sometime in the last 2 weeks the Top Participants List has undergone major changes in both the Bridge and Photoshop Forums.  People that were not even on the list 2 weeks ago are now Top Contributors even though they have not visited the site in years.

Has Jive changed the rules on who is listed?  If so what are the new rules?  I know when the Forums consoladated everyone went back to zero rank and had to work there way up from there.

    Hi, all!

    Many posts, yet the initial question is left unanswered.

    As you might have noticed, some of the forums have been moved around. The Photoshop General discussions is now one level higher in the hierarchy, and "therefore"(between quotes because it is not very logical)its top participants listing encompasses the sub forums, including the read only Mac and PC forums, where some users, including some that left the forum, or this planet (thinking about you, John) had received large amount of points for the huge help they brought to the community.

    Hope this clears the issue.

    Not aware of any changes at Jive. But what goes into there is a black box that we don't have control over. Jive has internal algorithms for that.

    I don't understand. Are these the Adobe or the Jive forums? Who sets the rules? Or did Adobe just bought the cheapest Jiove package and now has to accept whatever Jive is willing or capable of doing?

    From Adobe - Admin's response the answer is that these Forum are Jive forums, Adobe just pays them to run as they wish.

    I see too many comments "we can't do XXX because we have limited options allowed by Jive".
