Thread to Post Ratio
 

I'm just curious:

Is there a way to see a list of top contributors
in descending order of Thread to Post ratio?
Say with a Post count at least ten?

I rather hope not:smile:

We've seen highest contributors of posts,
how about the same for threads?

Then we can do the math. :smile:

Speak for yourself.
I put a s on the end.

Anyway I get into enough trouble for hijacking threads as it is:smile:

You've convinced me. Number of posts is the thing.

THX Davar.
You may have had others in mind, but as we say over here
"my ears were burning".
If that requires any translation, think of "Taxi Driver":
"You talkin to me?..."

David

PS Then again quantity of posts is one thing, and quality is another.

Well, if you want our favorite gremlins to post
a list of the highest quality postings, I expect
they may have a difficult time doing that.
Don't overwork the gremlins!

Some Forum Feedback here would be nice.

:kitten:

Not what I meant, my friend.

Not that I want to overwork the gerbils and cat1, but
out of deference to the supermoderator, I think more
accessible statistics on who's posting what and where
would only serve to improve the jobs of the moderators.
And keep some of us more informed.

OK?

Just shut the f*** up for a minute or two will you.

I think that may be too logical for this place.

David

Logic is underrated. Here and elsewhere.

I think that it would be interesting to have a list of members who are on ignore lists and the number of members who put them on their ignore list.

It might also be interesting to know which members have the most people on their ignore list.

I think giving up some of or intraforum anonymity in
favor of some additional interpersonal awareness is
probably a good thing. Who contributes what, who
interacts publicly with whom, etc, just though these
suggested statistics seems like a good forward-going
idea to me.

I'm guessing the winners will be cmd and R. D. Silverman, respectively.

[QUOTE=CRGreathouse;246803]I'm guessing the winners will be cmd and R. D. Silverman, respectively.[/QUOTE]

I would disagree on the former. I think that davar55 would as well.

I expect davar55 is ignored by many, but cmd by more.

those who are ignorant to be ignorant
but can improve ..
remove all checks from the ignore list

hey cmd, you and i singled out for ignoring (or is that ignorance) !

i'm not sure i like that honor, but i certainly agree with cmd's quote

no one here, not even RDS or cmd or davar55, is on my ignore list

(though the last one is gaining ground)

is there a don't ignore list (i.e. a list of mforum vips) ?

i know why i originally would have made a lot of people's ILs,
but my posts since 2007 have gotten a lot better, even if
the recent bunch of controversial ones still need better vetting
by the rest of the forum.

I have a good idea whom you would add. My forum life has been easier now that I put a nuisance on my ignore list.

The saving grace of cmd is that he doesn't even try to put up any
pretence of being comprehensible.

PS any more than RDS does at being polite.

This guy's no longer a nuisance to me, if he's the
one you referred too. No need for an IL for me.

As OPer, I'd still like to see the top twenty

See OP.

Seconded!

What are ostriches reputed to do when they sense danger?

I do PM occasionally in the interests of politeness.

Ten years ago (different forum) I did it frequently,

[QUOTE=retina;247866][size=1]I think ignore lists say more about the ignorer than the ignoree[/size][/QUOTE]

I mostly agree, but they can say something about both. If one person has a inordinately large number of people on their ignore list, then it says something about that person. If someone is on an inordinately large number of ignore lists, then it definitely says something about the person being ignored.

Certainly it says SOMETHING about the person ignored.
But by whom?

Majorities don't determine truth.
Nor do entrenched minorities.

Right. I guess what I mean is that I think that there are more people ignoring the most-ignored person than there are people ignored by the most-ignoring person.

[QUOTE=CRGreathouse;248000]Right. I guess what I mean is that I think that there are more people ignoring the most-ignored person than there are people ignored by the most-ignoring person.[/QUOTE]

Or to put it another equivalent way, the most-ignorant person and
the most-ignored person are not the same person.

Ignoring the intelligent is not indicative of wisdom.

[QUOTE=davar55;241472]I'm just curious:

Could we get again a list of top contributors,
say top 100?

[QUOTE=davar55;248010]Or to put it another equivalent way, the most-ignorant person and
the most-ignored person are not the same person.[/QUOTE]
Actually, that's not the same as:
[QUOTE=CRGreathouse;248000]Right. I guess what I mean is that I think that there are more people ignoring the most-ignored person than there are people ignored by the most-ignoring person.[/QUOTE]
This is equivalent to:
let X be the number of people ignoring the most-ignored person, person A
let Y be the number of people ignored by the most-ignoring (which is not necessarily the same as most-ignorant, at least by the most common use of the word "ignorant") person, person B
(CRG thinks that:) X>Y
(you're saying:) person A != person B (Edit: corrected, I had ==)

[QUOTE=Mini-Geek;248339]Actually, that's not the same as:

let X be the number of people ignoring the most-ignored person, person A
let Y be the number of people ignored by the most-ignoring (which is not necessarily the same as most-ignorant, at least by the most common use of the word "ignorant") person, person B

Almost. The last should be A != B, not A == B.

[QUOTE=davar55;248333]Could we get again a list of top contributors,

What do you mean by "top contributor"? Those who start the most threads? Those who have the most posts? Those who contribute the most useful content?

[QUOTE=rogue;248395]What do you mean by "top contributor"? Those who start the most threads? Those who have the most posts? Those who contribute the most useful content?[/QUOTE]

Yes all three of those, and highest threads to posts ratio
(postcount >= 10).

Also, all moderators.

[QUOTE=Uncwilly;246897]TTn anyone?[/QUOTE]
I wonder how Prime05 is coming on.

I don't have anyone on my ignore list. (Yet.)
I find it quiet nice to glance at CMDs posts. Kinda like opening a fortune cookie and finding the printer was faulty again. (Not that I've ever even seen a fortune cookie.)

I don't see how Thread-to-post-ratio stats could tell us anything useful. :smile:

While we're reporting statistics, how about posts per letter-of-username?

Following Retina's format:

Number of threads started: 20
Number of posts: 680 (including this one)
Number of PMs sent: 78
Number of PMs received: 67
Number of people on ignore list: 0
Number of people ignoring me: Unknown.

Number of days a member: 1197

I do not see any reason to add people to an ignore list. It is easy enough to skip over uninteresting posts, but if you ignore someone, you'll never see if they post something interesting.

Personally I would prefer to have the number of posts displayed as it was before, but hey, it ain't my forum. If there is enough interest by various members about a quick way to check the quality of a users posts, then perhaps it would be worth installing a ratings system. There are many such available for vBulletin. I'm ambivalent about it, for what benefits it brings there are associated negatives, the truth, I have heard, hurts.

missing statistics: total [COLOR="Blue"]days of activity[/COLOR]

still not seeing data:

n° of people on ignore list ?
&
n° of people ignoring me !
