Not that I'm aware of. Go ahead.
I see you're from Colombia.
With Portuguese, we had to split into two versions (European and Portuguese). If there's a similar distinction for Spanish in different parts of the world, let us know when you send it.

Differences could only be on style and Spain specific terms or expressions.. Colombian 'accent' is said to be the most neutral of all, but whatever..
Edit: I'll try to make a full re-translation, being as literal as possible with the english counterpart.

Sum of ranks official - what do you guys think about this idea?

Not a good idea, because of lack of balance (gives too much weight to the most popular events)

I've requested for it to be shown on everyone's profile before. I think it would be a nice addition to the profiles. It's already a 'ranking' as such so I dont understand the 'official' idea.
With regards to the weighting, I havent seen a perfect system yet. Indeed it currently weights popular events a lot, while not competing in difficult events such as 5bld is not 'punished' much. I've calculated proportional sum of ranks before, but then events with less people are weighted quite a lot. One could argue that having a high ranking in an event with less people does indeed indicate all-rounded-ness so it's not a problem at all.
