# Raidboard

The **Raidboard** is designed to track and showcase community-driven engagement efforts outside the Telegram group, particularly on X (Twitter). It works similarly to the [Leaderboard](https://docs.tgmetrics.ai/tgmetrics-bot/markdown) in terms of how to use it and the available filters, but it focuses on tracking interactions on X rather than Telegram messages. It allows communities to measure engagement beyond Telegram and recognize members who actively promote the project.

### How it works

* The bot monitors users participating in X raids—likes, retweets, and mentions supporting the community.
* To access the Raidboard, use the command `/raidboard` in your Telegram group. You'll instantly see the ranking of top contributors for today.
* Want to check the Raidboard for a specific date? Use `/raidboard YYYY-MM-DD` (e.g., `/raidboard 2025-02-21`).
* Need an overview of a date range? Use `/raidboard YYYY-MM-DD YYYY-MM-DD` (e.g., `/raidboard 2025-01-01 2025-01-20`) to see the total points accumulated over that period.
* The Raidboard ranks members based on their contribution to these external activities.
* This feature helps community owners measure and incentivize outreach efforts beyond Telegram.
* To check the Raidboard, use the command: `/raidboard`.

### How Raidboard Points Are Calculated

To ensure fairness and accuracy, we assign points based on different types of engagement:

* **2 points** for comments on X (Twitter).
* **3 points** for retweets.

### Important :warning:

To ensure that the TgMetrics bot detects when a raid has started, always use the raid bot command alongside the X post. We understand that some bots can identify when an X post is sent in the chat and automatically trigger a raid. However, TgMetrics only processes posts that are used in conjunction with the raid command for these bots.

Please note that the Raidboard can take up to **12 hours** to reflect new interactions.

We are continuously refining this scoring system to provide better engagement tracking and reward meaningful contributions effectively.
