Unfortunately, some OverFollow users have been choosing to abuse the system, by mass-following users on the User Matrix, and immediately unfollowing them via Twitter. To correct this, and make it fair for those who are continually following, OverFollow has introduced new changes. On the My Account page, you will now see a Still Following Ratio, which will be the percentage of users you are still following currently. For example, if you followed 10 people, and have since unfollowed 5, your ratio will be 50%. If you choose to unfollow nearly all users you've followed, your ratio will be in the single digits.
This new ratio has alot of power, as the User Matrix will now be displayed by Still Following Ratio first, and points second. If you have a 100% ratio, but only 500 points, you will be displayed above the user that has a 40% ratio with 2000 points. We feel this is most fair to users, as unfollowing users defeats the purpose of OverFollow.
If you wish to correct your mistakes, there is hope! You can refollow the users you've previously unfollowed to improve your rank, but you will not recieve points for refollowing. For users who have unfollowed less than 150 people, we have implemented a "ReFollow All" button on the My Account page that will automatically refollow the users you've previously unfollowed, all in just one click of a button. This will restore your rank on the both Matrix and the Top 25 Users list.
