Move Users With 50,000+ Followers Off The Leaderboard To The Celebrity Board
The current system heavily favors users with 50,000 followers or more. These users dominate the Leaderboard. I propose moving them to the Celebrity Board.
Power To The People!

A simpler and less dev-intensive solution is to implement some basic filtering or sorting options which would allow the user to control which tweets are displayed on the page. Like, maybe a few check boxes along the lines of 'Hide Celebrities' and 'Hide 50k+ Followers'....or heck, why not just a mute or block option next to every tweet? Something like 'Hide This User'.

Please do remove actual celebrities. And insufferable fake ones such as @KnownAsPrince. While I have you a moment - thanks. I enjoy and appreciate your service. Keep up the good work.

If you hit 50,000 followers, you do not need Leaderboard exposure to get an audience. That's the bottom line.

I think raising the requirements will only mean MORE celebrities on the Leaderboard, not less. Plenty of elebrities are filtered already. Patton Oswalt, Ashton Kutcher, etc. Famous people don't have to be funny to get stars. That's why there should be an upper limit.

I don't know how many of these 50K people we have clogging up the leader board to know what the best answer is but I have to agree with Yucky that just because I had a bunch of followers I got lumped into a group I don't belong in. I'm pretty sure I'll never have that many but I wouldn't want to be fighting againt Hollywood on the rare instance I said something funny.

I don't think this is the solution. The solution is to change the algorithm of the board. The minimum star requirement needs to be upped to keep some of the mindlessly RT'd crap off the boards. What if you or I reaches 50,000 followers? I'm not a celebrity, and neither are you. I think it needs to be done on an individual basis. If someone is taking up 5 spots on the front page then I think they should be moved. Again, I think raising the minimum star requirement will take of *some* of the crap. I vote no.

All for it. There are so many underfollowed people who are hilarious but get screwed due to lack of exposure. Also, anyone beiber related should never be on the list. In fact, they should be shot.

I agree, until I myself have 50,000 followers. No, good thinking people!

Awesome idea! I hate seeing these idiots crap out a one word tweet only to obliterate pure genius.

There are so many great people that never get noticed because those with so many followers hit just by shear number.... Let the funny people get exposed

Great people, funny sometimes, but their repetitive and non funny tweets clog up the leaderboard, preventing exposure of non-celebrities that are often a lot funnier.
