# NiceRank [NiceRank](http://jasonirwin.ca/2014/05/14/thinking-about-nicerank/) is a filter provided by Jason Irwin. Thanks to this algorithm, you will be able to filter the spammers out of the Global stream! It provides a whole new experience of ADN, and brings you back the pleasure of discovering new people to follow. Ayadn is compatible with NiceRank since version 1.2. *NiceRank only works with the Global stream.* ## The scale NiceRank analyzes App.net users, applies filters then attributes the users a score from 0 to 5. *This is not a 'Klout' for ADN: NiceRank's only purpose is to differentiate spammers from regular users.* An idea of the scale: - A spammer's rank is always < 1 - A user posting a lot of automated links without being active otherwise will be < 2 - A new ADN user will typically start with 2.1 - A regular user will always be > 2 - Very active and 'social' users will be > 3 *Again, this is not a popularity ratio: far from it. It only serves as a filter for bots and spam.* In addition to this manual rank filter, NiceRank and Ayadn have other automatic filtering based upon the information publicly available about the users. ## Threshold Set the NiceRank threshold. You can use an integer or a float (only one decimal). Any user with a NiceRank smaller than this value will be ignored in the Global stream. `ayadn set nicerank threshold 2.5` `ayadn set nicerank threshold 3` (default: 2.1) ## Desactivate NiceRank NiceRank is enabled by default on new Ayadn installations, but can be disabled if needed: `ayadn set nicerank filter false` *Note: the other field, `unranked`, can be activated to ignore the users who haven't been analysed by NiceRank yet. It's more an experimental feature, and it's actually recommended to always let it to false.*
