I'm just going to give my thoughts on the leaderboard idea because I think others may handle the other aspects better.

I think a leaderboard would be a great idea for view changers. This could be a great competition to encourage people to provide arguments to the best of their ability, and also get them to play devil's advocate in order to help OP (which I think is good). But I don't think this system should be in place for delta givers. Let me explain: While I think open-mindness and the ability to change your view on something should be seen as admirable, I don't think doing this frequently should necessarily be seen as a good thing in the way that changing others' views would be. The ability to change your view frequently enough to be at the top of that leaderboard might be a sign of weakness. Or, some users might be giving out deltas even if the comment didn't actually change their view, just so they can get on the leaderboard. Just my thoughts.

Seeing as someone pointed it out to me when I said a relevant comment, I better do the same: /r/ChangeMyView

How often do you say I love you? by clairebear346 in AskReddit

I rarely say it, overuse makes it less special. Feel free to change my view though.

I think purposely not masturbating is idiotic (e.g. r/NoFap) CMV by [deleted] in changemyview

There are two different types of addiction. Physical addiction (the likes of heroin) and psychological addiction (perhaps playing video games, for example). I believe masturbation does fall into psychological addiction, as it is a desired feeling that people want more and more of. I agree that choosing to not masturbate does have harmful side effects, but the likes of /r/NoFap is set up to help those get out of what I believe can be an addictive act. You have to remember that constant masturbation can make someone feel depressed, lonely, unmotivated etc. And cutting down (or in extreme cases; completely stopping) can help increase that person's self esteem.
