    Instead of having multiple honor leaderboards I could see there being an honor board for overall Kyu level and for each language. There are two systems, honor and kyu(rank level), with the kyu not having a leaderboard at all. If you want to focus on skill level, kyu is the thing to look at.

    In terms of a bunch of 7/8 kyu kata. Authoring those barely makes a dent for anyone above 7 kyu in terms of increasing their level.

    I totally agree with you. I think the best thing could happen if the people who work on this site could make a classification honor board. once for solving kata and the other one for authoring. Mixing both things doesn't really reflect the effort of the user.

    I agree with you, and another thing to consider is that I am really encouraged to write very simple katas, instead thinking about writing a hard kata. simple katas are solved by many users and translated soon and will be out of Beta process easily and you will gain more honor writing them!

    I agree. I would especially like to see rankings that are based on solving katas only. (Possibly a ranking filter where the user can choose what points to include in the ranking)

    Hey,

    I am new hear and I have to say that Code Wars is absolutely amazing. I am improving my knowledge of Java as I prepare to do an MSc in computer science, so this is probably the best tool for doing that out there.

    However, Anton, I agree with you. There a re a lot of "replace this character in a string with this", or "group these together".

    But for someone like me, in the lower ranks still, I guess it's not that bad.

    Don't be so negative guys!
    I think a few of us, (like myself) have read your comments, meditated on it a bit, and now agrees that you were right.
    I did learn from you, thanks!

    I've been coming to the conclusion that this site is fundamentally broken in that way. Most katas' top-rated "best practice" solutions have horrible runtime efficiencies and bad practices! By bad practices, I'm thinking of ridiculous trinary-fueled code golf, using double equals comparisons in JS, monkey patching built-in classes or prototypes, or in cases like this, just not providing a solution that works on edge cases.

    Codewars is the blind leading the blind.
