Topic: Boards that don't contribute to activity - page 6. (Read 5124 times)
Auctions (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0), since bid posts contribute nothing. Maybe even include all the "listing" sections such as goods, services, currency exchange.
Without knowing what you're trying to achieve with this change it's a bit hard to give a well thought out opinion. I can only assume it's to reduce the spam caused by signature campaigns. That's all fine but it will mean the signature spammers will spread out to other boards and that may increase the burden on moderators. If they're on board I'd say go for it. But it does seem a bit like a small patch, not a complete solution.
I was thinking that making the post count only show up when you're watching your own profile (or even completely hiding it) would make things harder on signature campaigns. But it would be quite a radical change and people might not like losing one of their ego stats.

Post count is the most important part of being active? I believe it should account for the most heavily weighted part of activity rankings.
However alongside this ANY post or thread deleted for being pointless or outright spam should carry a HUGE penalty. Perhaps reduce your ranking by 25% or more - 3 strikes in a month and account deletion or suspension.
Even a ranking other members can give based on answers/help given. I've seen it on other forums and it works out quite well. They can't subtract but can add.
Sig for snr and above only.

Why do u think theymos is against signature campaigns?

I'm thinking of making Games & Rounds not count toward posts or activity.
For the love of god, yes.They are going to stay in the "last posts" list though, right?
Off topic and archival boards can probably be excluded.
Dunno about archival. I mean, just because a thread gets moved there after losing its relevance doesn't mean the posts are not worth giving activity.You would risk someone losing posts/activity for a great/good post, because the thread has been moved to archival.
Damn it... NO! Calculating potential activity will be very difficult.
Why? It would be 14 times the number of activity periods an account has posted in, excluding those periods it only posted in Games&Rounds (or other excluded boards).That won't be too hard to change calculators to, seeing that some like bctaccountpricer already give you detailed overviews of the boards someone posts in.
I'm thinking of making Games & Rounds not count toward posts or activity. What other boards would be good candidates for this? Maybe Off-topic, though some decent discussions occur there, so I'm not sure about that.

Would all posts in these sections be excluded, or posts after a particular date?

Imho all other boards should contribute to activity.
Also i think post count should be given more weight over date of membership. I see legends with hardly any posts. I can't how they are contributing more to the board than those that are active and posting daily. Of course again just my own personal opinion perhaps I don't fully understand the rating system, and appreciate it is hard to know how valid these posts are that are being made - perhaps some code that could measure how many deleted posts or threads they have could be factored into the calculation.
Also please please can you reset my cryptohunter account back to me. I have posted over 6000 posts and now some other pest will enjoy turning legendary on my behalf.
thanks if you can.

Why? I don't read that section, but I feel like most of the posts there should be fairly substantial and contribute to a person's "record".
