It's not possible to see temporary bans, as they're not shown in the modlog.

For sig-bans, a message would be displayed in the user's signature space (only visible when viewing the profile):


I've checked BPIP, and it seems like it doesn't show that info but it shouldn't be difficult to implement

I was wondering what are the rules for temporary ban, and how can we see if any member is banned temporary.
Same question would be for signature ban.

Is it possible to somehow show this in BPIP website or extension?


I am eagerly waiting for months  to see moderators reply regarding this issue.
Nothing so far, and same guy continued to create new accounts. 

This concerns Bans and unbans.

As an example pirate hunter was banned then later unbanned. But when you look at the Bpip Profile information. It becomes hard to tell whether he was banned, Unbanned then banned again since the autoban warning is still reflecting on the profile.



Suggestion.
1. If the account is unbanned, the Autoban warning should be removed.
2. If the account is banned, maybe we can have information about the ban such as time and date of ban being displayed under the Meta Log area just like the unban information.

Hey there!

I noticed a bug on the mobile version of the site (on Android). I am not sure if the website is supposed to be optimized on mobile, but I see that the website has a mobile view, therefore I considered that mentioning this bug is worthy.

The bug is an overlap between the descriptions of the Most Merited, Most Activity, Most Trusted and Most Recognized. In order to reach it, you have to perform the following actions:

- launch the site on mobile: on mobile view, the lists of Most Merited, Most Activity, Most Trusted and Most Recognized members are placed one below the other (unlike the desktop view, where these lists are placed one next to the other)
- click on the "?" symbol placed next to each section's title (for example, the "?" placed next to Most Activity): at this point the description of the list will be displayed and this description will remain displayed on the screen when you scroll down the list
- scroll down until reaching the next section (in this case, Most Trusted)
- click on the "?" symbol placed next to Most Trusted: at this point, both description will be displayed on the screen (please see the picture https://i.imgur.com/pTFuXtl.jpg)
- keep scrolling down a bit

Result: the descriptions of the two lists will be overlapped (please see the picture https://i.imgur.com/nxKGwsU.jpg).

Suggestion: in order to have bug fixed, I think that if an user clicks on the "?" symbol placed next to a list's title, this action should dismiss an eventual previous click on another "?" symbol placed next to other list's title. Thus, only one description will be displayed on the screen.

I have removed the duplicates so it should work now:

https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?id=2817355

I'm still not entirely certain how that happens. There are a few other duplicates so I'll look into those for clues.

Interesting bug:  Quadruplicates  None can be accessed.

I can see why you are puzzled, you've already skipped past my question when you answered here:


... after having removed the other entries.  

What entries did you expect that are missing? If you included someone at the DT2 level it may not show up. Basically anything that's not here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;dt;full won't be on BPIP either.

Ha. Great minds think alike.

It's a bug, i.e. willi974 did not actually clean out their trust list. It's caused by the fact that DT1 and DT2 lists on Bitcointalk are not always in sync. When someone drops out of DT1 they get crossed out on this list first:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;dtview

And a few minutes later get removed from here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;dt;full

At which point BPIP doesn't know anymore of the two events are related and interprets this as if the person wiped out their trust list. You can see the difference in timestamps between when willi9974 dropped out and when their trust list was (incorrectly) shown as removed.

I'd certainly support that suggestion.  I'm sure others would too.

Kudos TwitchySeal.

Just a query, some recent occurrences should have caused an entry or two on this page for my UID, but they don't seem to be there.  Any suggestions what's caused that to occur?

Not a big deal but I have a suggestion.

In your reports that have rankings, when there is a tie you are only incrementing the user(s) ranked one lower than the tie by 1.

I think they should be ranked by their actual position.

For example this:



Would become this:

What you can do is to go to the seclog.php and check some of those who woke up resently. Some of them are parsed some are not. I don't know if the accoun have to post in order to be parsed or just have to wakes up. I didn't check that.

It shows up here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;full;dt

That's why it's shown as "DT2" on BPIP.


I think that's what we already do but I'll double check. The example you posted is something we need to clean up.

How about parsing every account which wakes up? I think I suggested this before. We can avoid having cases like this > https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/alfacbn-2655813
https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?id=2655813
If you are alredy parsing the seclog.php then the implemenation should be very easy.

I noticed this:

DefaultTrust has DT2 Strength: 41.
Where do you get the data? DefaultTrust is not shown on dtview and excluded from theymos' weekly trust data dump.
"DefaultTrust" occurs only once on the DefaultTrust Change Log.

That's fine, I get that - My questions have been around how is it decided who amongst an equal score is given a ranking order.  My previous example where over 200 UID's have the same score but 200 successive ranks which then affect their most recognised scores.

Well, this is were there a difference between front users and back users of a software / website.
I wouldn't know how to code it, changing between rank and dense rank.
I wouldn't be able to say which one is the best for all the existing features and future ones.

But, as a simple user, when there is a list of 100 people and that they are "ranked" using one variable, I would expect the last one to be ranked #100 or #99 ex-quo.

In the case of DT  ranking (my previous message), the current last one is ranked #27 out of a 93 pool of user ID.

For my complete List of all Bitcointalk usernames, I just download each profile and keep increasing the userID until the page doesn't exist.

If you don't mind me asking (technical questions)... how do you manage to add newly created accounts to your database?

Do you just scrape the latest member from this page^[1]? If so, there is a possibility of missing a few accounts, isn't there?

Also, with this[2] being disabled and the search function returning 34 pages max, how can one scrape all the accounts? Do you just make a loop until you hit "The user whose profile you are trying to view does not exist"?

I might be able to make a list of banned users that will include bans before 2017. Maybe you and LoyceV will find it useful.
