[This is a post from last week, but it was destroyed by being merged into a related post with a different subject. I’m restoring it by copying the comments that were originally part of this post, into here, since it seems like posts cannot be un-merged after they have been merged. Now we’ll have a post about the global leaderboard again, which we lost when this got merged last week. I had to change the title a little because this silly forum won’t let me use the same topic even after the original post is gone. ]

I got an automated email from memrise today that says “Congratulations!
You have reached the Top 10 on Memrise Leaderboards”, which made me
curious to see what this leaderboard is. I know there’s a leaderboard
for each course, and I know I can view one of all the people I follow,
but this email seems to be talking about something global to the whole
site. Is there such a thing? Where?

Probably just bad wording, if it’s the same as here:

Oh, thanks, I actually remember seeing that a long time ago, but forgot about it. But that can’t be what this email is about, because I’m not in the top 10 for week, month, or all time on that.

I’m not sure what specifically triggers the email you got. I recall seeing several posts on the old forum asking about it and, I seem to remember several people saying they also got an invitation to sign up for Memrise Pro at a reduced rate in tandem.
