For those of you who pay attention to the leaderboard, are you visible on there? If you choose not to say, why so? I am curious what people see as the pros and cons of making themselves seen there. I do check on it because I want to make an impact here. I am invisible right now but I am not sure why. What are the reasons to remain anonymous and / or to strut your stuff? I love to hear from you all.

I would tell you to check all of @nemo's posts, but you can't. They're all deleted.

How does that work? Like he posts stuff and then deletes it? I am a ghost in the physical world so I am very intrigued..

Now he doesn't post but he's always among us. If you anytime see two stackers fighting or arguing, consider @nemo paranormal has been affecting that fight.

The replies with missing context are often hilarious though. The best I've found so far is #332062.

Each has their own philosophy.
Beibg visible does help, you can actually click on them and see what they have been up to.
I enjoy doing that to @Undisciplined, because his posts are ones l like to comment on.
Usually the same 20 people are on the top of the list.

After a while you kind of figure out who they are if you arent dense.
You just have to go a roundabout way to find their stuff.

I always keep myself visible on the leaderboard. I am usually around the same spot 5-10 and stacking and spending around the same amounts daily so I don't feel the need to hide. I do hide the account for sports pools though. I don't think stackers need to know how much or how little zaps and rewards the pool account is getting. If I choose to personally cover a deficit when the prize pools are short due to zap fees or collect a small profit when the account accumulates more than the prize pool due to rewards I don't think stackers need to know. Now that the fee is at 30% we will probably have to change the way the pools are structured to buy in and pay out so it might not matter and maybe I will make the account public again. But I also don't want stackers to think it is unfair when that account gets to say the top 20.

That's interesting. Yes. I have noticed you are one of the few that are close to the top that is visible. Either way, great work. Thanks for all that you do.

I liked being able to see what the top stackers were doing to get there, so now I'm staying visible so others can see how I'm staying up there.
Having our stats visible also enables some friendly rivalry for the regulars.

I thought so. Just like the physical world. What you give comes back to you. This is why I love stacker. The incentive structure is key.

I'm not seen on the leaderboard because I never reach there. I wish I could reach on the leaderboard one day and you can congratulate me. How do you make it to the leaderboard. Tell me your secret, please.

I feel this. In general I keep things to myself. I guess that's why I have chosen to be invisible thus far.
