I haven't seen many negative comments on it, Trollheart. There was a couple of comments at first, where people didn't seem to fully grasp how it works or is calculated, but unless theres some comments outside of that particular thread, I haven't seen any.
It is a little difficult to understand exactly how it's calculated but I do think it's a fun idea and it may just create a little healthy competition. It doesn't even need to make complete sense to achieve that. I mean, you have outlined some guidelines as to how points are tallied that do make sense, in the sense that we would be able to follow what it is you are looking for and the criteria you're using, but I think confusion would come in where you consider (as if I need to tell you this, I'm sure) that it must be extremely difficult to choose criteria on how to rate, award and rank users journals.
I say just feel out how people respond to your question, and how much of your time you really want to invest into it and decide for yourself if you feel it's worth it. If the authors of the journals are looking at the league table as harmless fun, which I think is what they should be viewing it as, and you're happy to do it then keep it up!
Whichever way you look at it, I think your contributions to keeping our journal section alive and bringing attention it are nothing short of brilliant. You can do that with or without the league table, but the league table could potentially create some amicable competition and laughs, and that isn't a bad thing.
