I'm also using a lap-top so I'm only guessing, I've never viewed the boards on the App.
I can't speak for the OP but perhaps they think the "Most Helpful Authors" board is still rigged in some way ? I've just had a look and it looks pretty accurate to me, given the huge numbers of replies that a few long threads have received over the past weeks.
Personally I'd like to see "helpful" replaced by 'Kudos' or 'like' , removing any implication that those on it are more helpful than anyone else. That was the point of rigging who got onto the board. Or perhaps we need a Like and a Helpful button to distinguish between the two and give recognition to those who spend their time being helpful, rather than those who say something that's popular ?
The "Fan Boys" were very pro-ebay and spent most of their time defending it, not being helpful at all, just stifling criticism. Rejecting all criticism, talking down to any critic and dismissing any evidence contrary to their views. All done with an attitude of superiority designed to wind-up even the calmest poster. Their Kudos-ing of each other (and themselves) became so blatant that it began to be commented on -- How was it possible that a handful of people who dis-agreed with the majority of posters and their comments remained at the top of board for so long ?
They may not be perfect but now, but SC is, IMO,more balanced than it was a few years ago ?
