I'm really confused about how this works...
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

I was never good at algebra...

As far as my understanding goes it checks how much you log in during two week periods. The activity meter can not go past the amount of posts you have.

That's ok, you can just trust that it does and go about your business. How it works really isn't important.

What with all the threads being opened on "What is an activity and where did my postcount go" I guess it would make sense to have the activity field link to this thread.

In the PM system, posts have not been replaced with activity yet. Is this intended?

Nice catch.

You are not special.

Interesting idea! I like it. Was a bit confused that my post count had been cut this morning!

feature request: on my profile, i'd like to see a graphical (simple will be just fine) time line and the periods of activity/inactivity that contribute to such.

its already there.

click profile then click show stats in the left hand corner

for example here is mine:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/r3wt-117142

Thats posts by time of day. I think CanaryInTheMine was referring to posts over each monthly or maybe weekly period.

correct. a visual representation of "activity" as it is seen by the formula now used.

Why not have a coloured coin system forum wide? frequent posters get certain colours, maybe all blue turning to green then purple then gold then platinum for the highest rankers. You can have platinun coins but be a noob, that just tells us that he's a spammer and/or troll.

Makes sense, I was able to go from no one to Hero in the span of 3 months...seemed kind of unfair to those who have actually been here since day 1 that have made the greatest contributions

I think that it should be more of something like this:

time = number of 1-day periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time, posts)

That'd make people feel paranoid about always getting a post in each day, I think.

You are right about this. However, on the other side, I think that 2 weeks is a too long timeframe.
I guess that the optimal should be 1 week, or 5 days.

Anyway, 2 weeks is not that bad, since that the basic idea is good.

how come I got whacked from being a Hero? I've been here for 2 yrs I think (6/5/2011)
I guess I don't get this system

You must have had long stretches of inactivity.

is it using any active two week period towards activity or is it active two week periods since last inactivity?

I would like to see what you have implemented theymos incorporated with a points system which the community can upvote or downvote individual posts based on content. Similar to Reddit and Hacker News.

I made a similar suggestion in another thread. I think this a good way of highlighting the good posts and the bad posts. Peoples reputation can also be based on the difference between the total number of up-votes and the total number of down-votes (i.e. Reddit karma). The downside is that this may discourage people from raising differing views or opinions in the fear of being down voted.

I am not sure how hard it would be to add this functionality to the forum. Though I found this setting under: Profile => Look and Layout Preferences, and am not sure what it does:

There won't be a global scoring system. Such systems are sometimes useful/entertaining, but they're bad for serious discussion. Go to /r/Bitcoin (which I also moderate) if you want that.

Maybe at some point there will be a WoT post scoring system, but as I look at the deficiencies in this semi-WoT Trust system, I'm less inclined to build anything else off of this. A more sophisticated WoT system is probably needed for that.
