How SkillCandle Leaderboard and Public Profiles Work

This page explains how the SkillCandle leaderboard and public profiles work without stuffing the main product screens with too much text.

What the leaderboard shows

The leaderboard is for ranked activity. It is not meant to mix every kind of product usage into one noisy score.

The main windows are:

• Daily
• Weekly
• All Time

Each window is built from ranked session data, so users can compare serious replay performance instead of casual clicking.

Who appears on the board

A user needs enough ranked activity to qualify for the current window.

• Daily and weekly need a completed ranked session in that time window.
• All-time needs a bigger sample before the score is treated as meaningful.

If a window is quiet, the leaderboard can show no rows yet. That does not mean the feature is broken. It only means there has not been enough ranked activity for that window yet.

What a public profile shows

A public profile is the member-facing page for another trader on SkillCandle.

It can include:

• public ranked stats
• visible replay performance snapshots
• recent medals or rank context
• unlocked achievements

It does not expose private account data, billing information, or locked achievements.

Public achievements are earned-only

SkillCandle public profiles now show only what the user has actually unlocked.

That means:

• no locked achievement cards
• no future unlock hints
• no private progress details that should stay personal

This keeps the public page cleaner and makes it feel more like a proof page than a teaser page.

How users can find other traders

There are a few ways to open another trader's public page:

1. Search their username from the leaderboard or achievements page.
2. Click their username on the leaderboard.
3. Open their /u/username page directly if you are logged in.

The public pages are member-only, so users need to be logged in before opening those profile pages.

Why the leaderboard page stays simple

The leaderboard page works better when it focuses on three quick actions:

• search users
• switch leaderboard windows
• open trader profiles

That is why the long explanation blocks were moved out of the main page and into this guide.

Bottom line

The SkillCandle leaderboard is the comparison layer for ranked replay performance, and public profiles are the clean member-facing pages where other traders can see earned stats and unlocked achievements. The page itself stays light, while this guide holds the detail for anyone who wants the full explanation.
