As one of the invisibles, I think I agree with you. The main reason I don't go visible is that I don't like advertising how many sats I've stacked.
But perhaps there is a case to be made that if I want a part of the competition I should not be able to stay hidden. I can make it visible.
It will be very frustrating if the top 3 slots are all hidden when the competition concludes. Not good for morale.
Most likely, two of the top three are k00b and kr, who are both ineligible, and the other one is siggy.

Pretty sure SN affiliated are excluded from the leaderboard.

@grayruby told me that they weren't. They're excluded from the competition, but they are on the board.
reply
I was wrong. Ek clarified the other day they are not on the board. I @ you but I dont think you saw it.
reply
Oh ok. I was pretty excited when I thought I was two spots higher than I am.
Who are those other two, then?
reply
Yes I was disappointed too. Still not sure who the other two are. It was speculated that it could be someone who is not that active but is zapping huge amounts of sats.
reply
Ah, the legendary nemo I imagine. Still, there are four categories that are equally weighted. It should be almost impossible to be at the top just from excelling in the zapping categories.
reply
My hypothesis is that it's one of the AMA hosts. Two of them are right after siggy on the top posts list for the month. If they also zapped a bunch of comments and got a bunch of their own comments zapped, then their scores will be pretty good.
