Leaderboard

How is my ranking determined?

Your leaderboard position is based on the number of tv shows you've marked as used to watch in your collection.

My leaderboard position is going up but my collection size is shrinking. Why?

We are constantly cleaning up the LivingSocial: TV Shows database. If your collection size shrinks it simply is because we are merging duplicates or deleting bad entities (like toys, for example). You are likely rising on the leaderboard because users that used to be ahead of you had their collections impacted by merges and deletes. If you think that something has disappeared from your collection that shouldn't have please contact us at feedback@livingsocial.com with details.
