Identifying up-and-coming top contributors

I generally look at three quantitative data points:

  • The leaderboard for the last period.
  • The userboard for the last period, sorted by posts, likes, and visits.
  • Their profiles, to understand in which area they are contributing the most.

And three qualitative aspects:

  • Type of posts: Are they questions? Are they answers?
  • Quality of posts: Are they short comments? Are they valuable contributions?
  • Mood of the posts: Are they sharp or understanding? Do they align with your culture or go against it?
