To reduce forum scraping, I cache Rank data for the last 10,000 20,000 18,000 unique users. I'll check later if this value gives the right balance between scraping and staying up-to-date (alternative: abandon data on x Ranks each update). First impression: especially Brand new users are labeled that way longer than they should be.
I never bothered to check/fix this, so I can't really say how many of the ranks are really outdated. 
Topic: Top posters last 7 days and ratio of earned merit/ post (Read 194 times)
This is inaccurate data for Ranks:
This week, the result only present statistics for post counts in the last 7 days over different ranks.
Next week, I will include the ratio of earned merits/ postcount ratio.
Thanks @LoyceV for the clarification on data correctness.
