I see your reading comprehension is high. /s

If you want to know the algo, then read the first post where I explained everything. The variables are very simple and self-explanatory.

The way that post quality is calculated here is by no means definitive. In fact, it is one of the worst ways to determine post quality, but the easiest for a computer. Post quality is completely subjective, and if you do everything you can to get a rating of "excellent" on my site, your post quality could still be absolute shit. Good post quality means that your posts are constructive and add to the discussion at hand.

I am wondering how post quality is determined can you please provide the algo to check post quality. Because I want to write my post according to defined algorithm so that I don't have to fear of bad post quality

-6 is used as a placeholder to indicate that the request has not been processed yet. Why -6? Because -1 through -5 are used to indicate other things, primarily errors.

Yes, I know.

I do not see this issue on my computer. Try clearing your browser caches.

 Now a problem in your site . i am trying to get detail of my ac but i am not able . because this site is not showing me the box to entre code . since it was working two hours ago . please check whether is problem .

I have two things to say :

-Why do I have -6 in queue when I request ?
-You should not remove the price estimator because it is the original idea behind the site and because the domain name is tied to it.

An algorithm to detect repetitions and such patterns is in fact ridiculously hard to code. It becomes ridiculously complex very quickly when you are trying to get a computer to recognize patterns. Since determining post quality requires analysis and pattern recognition, it is fairly difficult to do this in a computer. I have neither the expertise nor the time to work on any such algorithm.

For plagiarism, I don't think it matters. IMO the people who plagiarize are in the minority. The vast majority of them are found out and quickly shut down by the mods anyways.

Also, as I said above, the length of a post is usually a big determining factor for determining whether a post is spam. Yes there are exceptions; this has been discussed ad nauseam both in this thread and throughout the meta section. It's also completely subjective. I will not be changing the post quality unless someone can suggest a much better algorithm that is also not ridiculously complicated to implement. Even better would be to submit a pull request with said implementation.

As I have said before in this thread, I will not be adding anything for converting prices to any fiat.

Honestly, I haven't changed the estimation algo in a very long time. I am considering removing it entirely and just letting the site be an account stats thing.

Any news about changing the price estimator to add and relaying in usd so that it is not confused newbie seller accounts about the estimated price..
Honestly the price of bitcoin is changed and the estimate should decrease too..

Well you should know that in writing class in college, we were penalized for making our pieces too long or too wordy, in fact, the final exam had to write just one page on a very broad topic. The goal was obviously to learn to conjoin sentences and avoid repeating information, choppy sentence structure is associated with poor writing skill. For a basic example, instead of saying:

This is Ben. He is a man. Ben likes cake. Ben is twenty two years old.

You would say:

Ben is a twenty two year old man who likes cake.

I do not have any programming experience so I don't know if this will be possible to execute but, you could make it so it detects what percentage of a user's posts are plagiarized (by linking it to a free online detector, perhaps?). Also, you could make it so it detects the degree of repetition of certain words/phrases/sentences too.

yes

No, that is not the only people it will reward. It will reward people who also legitimately post good content which tends to be longer. Not all long content is spam. Likewise not all short content is spam. However, from past experience, shorter posts tend to be spammier than longer posts.

If you have any better solution for determining post quality (a subjective quality mind you) then I am all ears. So far no one has suggested anything better than checking the character count. And I don't want/can't implement a spam checking AI.

Is the sole criteria for judging "post quality" an analysis of the volume of characters per post? Because in that case, it will only reward people who are fans of pasting data from websites.

Website now has https and will force all users to use https. http will automatically be redirected to https.

"Post Quality:" Poor (58%)

Thank you, your "account pricer" is too kind!

Only one day I saw  that the estimator is showing two posts less then what I have on my profile and along with that it also showed my rank as full member instead of Sr. member, but on the next day when I checked again it worked normal without any fault.

You can believe on that potential activity, in one posts in digital goods I heard from one person that it sometimes do not show correct potential activity, but according to my views it is exact the same which is in actual.

Cool site. Very helpful for someone who is interested in buying/selling their accounts o forum.
However this can only be considered as a quick estimate. Serious buyers will do their own further research. But the summary provided by this tool is very handy indeed.

Yeah 75 characters is what I meant. Still, you're right, it is subjective, and this bot will only reward people who are great at copy pasting and not citing their resources, or are really wordy.

It's actually a 75 character count, much easier to reach than 75 words

Post quality is all subjective. This is the best a computer can do without getting into crazy AI stuff.

Well your program is very narrow minded because it puts a few dollars worth on my account, which is in actuality priceless!

Also, the algorithm says that posts with <75 word count are of bad quality. Well, in writing, you are meant to keep your posts short, if you're too wordy, your post becomes uninteresting and nobody would bother to read it! It rates my post quality as "Poor" when it actually is rich with content; political satire and humor!

Cool idea ill check the git in a bit

This site is cool, we can estimate our accounts for value, and it is beneficial to account sellers.
