Topic: 3 Merit Stat After a Month of Merit - page 2. (Read 893 times)

Thats really interesting to see how the merit distribution is going on in the forum. It was unexpected to see copper members receiving the higher number of merits, and wondering how they got more as we dont see much members with that status. There are only 1% of the copper member and still they have got huge merits. Unexpectedly seniors and full members are not working up to the mark because they are having average merits as compared to other ranks. More is expected from the seniors because that is the rank where people are more often knowledgable at this stage (expected to be) and write the quality content.

very interesting infographics.

These clearly would indicate that the merit system is working and people
from all ranks are receiving merit.

I would recommend that all further merit queries and complaints should be
directed to this thread !

Thank you for your suggestion, I will try to include the percentage of topics that are merited in the next month stat. I intentionally include copper members. The copper members are excluded in the ranks; maybe next time I will append them to their specific ranks.


I have specific names in each rank who received the highest merit; I am just bothered if I will include all the stat results in a single infographic. Thus I prefer to separate other results and post it in the next few days.
Member is included in the bar chart; it’s in the 4th position from left to right.

These data are publicly available in this forum; I just go into several profiles of forum members. Currently, I have no downloadable version of it. But if you want more statistic, you can talk with vod thru [email protected], he got more data than I have.

There are more than 1.8M profiles, and I just see 1.6M or 89% of those due to cloudflaire issues. Out of those, I have recorded active user and excluded ranks like Brand New, VIP, Donator and others. Thus I ended up with 135,369.

Yes, I agree with you, it’s troubling to see the average, that is why rather than keep it on my own, I share it with other members. I am on a member rank, and I am looking for an answer when (pessimistic and optimistic) could I possibly reached further ranks due to merits. I can’t find answer thus I do some small research.

Thank you for your suggestion. I excluded other information so that the most important part will be highlighted, but it seems worth mentioning to include the population.

Sometimes the lower ranks gets more merits than the higher ranks are not getting enough credit probably are not reliable or constructive one and the lower ranks provide a more accurate or constructive one, wel this is only estimated right mate, but base on what I have analyzed junior, full, or legendary are the ones most of tge  time getting merited.

Data collection is not about basing all information of merit giving in all accounts here in bitcointalk.org so stop asking why I am not receiving merits base on this report, are you stupid or something?

Data collection is collection of information based only on what's is available, like this data, perhaps he uses only 1000 accounts per rank or per categories to come up with the results, that's why it's not 100% percent accurate. But it is true.

It seems jr and newbie received the advantages of very few, most of them have been high-level members get, explain what?

It would be very helpful to draw conclusions if we knew the breakdown on the demographics of your data. I would be able to draw some conclusions or at least ask some questions if I knew what % of your analyzed users were pertaining to which rank. It seems Newbies and Jr. ranked members have taken home a disproportionate amount of merit, but of course this would be dependent upon how many were included in the data.

The lower ranks have much lower merit per user, but a much higher % of total merit and I'm wondering why this is the case. It is obvious that there are more of them, but I wonder if this is indicative of anything deeper. I wonder why Members are averaging more than Full and Senior, unless there is a significant outlier skewing the data.

We're going to have to give merit a lot longer before we see all of the initial effects fade away and actually see how it will function long-term.

Nice and crispy info, I am just curious to know the data source. Where did you get the data? 

Getting a certificate of merit really is a very difficult and challenging if the merit accounts do not want to share with others. That makes increasing the rank on the forum really difficult.

Very interesting infographic.  Can you post your method for retrieving all that data.  Thank you! 

I did not receive any Merit in all post counts. Maybe I need to work harder and find more information to hope for merit.

How did you get the raw data to do this analysis?  Is there a download available?

It is good see the average newbie/jr. member are well on their way to the 10 they need to rank up to member.  But it is troubling to see the average Member, Full Member, and Sr. Member scoring so low on average when they need 90, 150, and 250, respectively, to rank up.

That copper would be nullius!

i would also like to point out that members rank was not included in the second graph.

Another one, where and how do you acquire these data? just curious. Thanks.

You shouldn't have to include "Copper" because it's a membership and not a rank. And you should add "what is the percentage of topics posted about Merits"
