This month Nigerian board managed to reach 4th spot with 1438 posts which is their record (up from 1174) and I expect them to continue with their growth, while Portuguese board closes top 5 with 1427 posts (up from 1112).

This is impressive, and I really appreciate you @ "Rikafip" for this wonderful job you are doing here. However, I'm really happy to see my local board growing progressively each month on this forum in terms of post count, as I can remember in June we came out 6th, in July we came out 5th, and last month "Augest" happy to see us coming out 4th position, as that shows how active and contributing the Nigerian local board is on this forum. Don't worry, I'm sure we gonna come out 3rd in this month of "September".

Sorry, bad quoting, I was referring to @ddmrddmr message regarding his addition to the dashboard.

Yes, that makes more sense

Quote from: fillippone on September 09, 2023, 01:12:09 PM

I recall I asked that column because I wanted to produce those graphs for my overview. Now that I have suspended the usage of that column, it might be nice if you go on with it!

Well thank you for that (and DddmrDdmr ofc who keeps adding new stuff and without whom there woulnd't be our overviews) and yeah, I will include this chart in my next month's overview.

If it's not something complicated and that will make you spend a lot more of your time. It looks like a good graph to me.
This allows you to understand a little better how merits are distributed.

Quote from: Lillominato89 on September 09, 2023, 11:18:30 AM

I would say that if it doesn't take up too much of your time during the process of drawing up your reports you could include it, the counting of the percentage of merits gives a more accurate overview of how the merits are spent on the forum and it is an excellent report

It's not really matter of taking much of my time (at this point after making so many of those in the last 3 and a half years it doesn't take me much time at all) but more about not having too many charts so people get bored and overvwhelmed with it. For that reason I removed "posts per user" chart after intitially adding it as I though it didn't bring much but I think that "percebtage of merited posts" actually helps with getting a clearer picture of merit situation in local boards.

Also in June the Romanian board was rocking!

Romanian board usually has very high merit/post ratio so I wasn't surprised when I saw them at the top. Then again, these less active boards can have big amplitudes so it will be interesting to see next month's overview.

Anyway, I think I will include this chart in my regular setup from next month's overview and will see how it goes. Though, it started as a brief monthly overview and I would like to keep it somewhat brief (maybe its already too late for that Cheesy

)

You can on the Merit/post tab of the Merit Dashboard; that is, bearing in mind the way I derive the number of posts per month on a given board (forum stats value difference between two snapshots). I've now added a new column on the Merit per Post tab called %MeritedPosts, that simply calculates the percentage based on data that was already there: nNetPosts (postcount) and nMeritedPosts (distinct merited posts).

Awesome, that's exactly what I needed and I can't believe that I forgot that it was already available in your Merit Dashbord after looking at it for years. Anyway, thanks a lot!

I used to do that, using your post number for consistency reasons, not using ninjastic tools for this.
I actually think I was the one originally asking to add that column on your dashboard I used to produce this graph:

Ripropongo il grafico della percentuale di post meritati su ogni board.

Fig. 12. Merited Post Ratio across local boards

Also in June the Romanian board was rocking!

Rather than an “horizontal” graph, I liked more the to “vertical” deep dove on the Italian board.
Something like this.

Quote from: fillippone on July 03, 2023, 02:43:28 PM

A questo punto, concentrandoci sulla board italiana, si può anche vedere come si è evoluta questa percentuale nella storia:

Fig. 13. Merited Post Ratio history for Italian board

Da qui si vede come l'ultimo mese sia riuscito a riprendere il buon trend positivo che avevamo facendo segnare un leggerissimo aumento. Significa che abbiamo raggiunto una sorta di equilibrio, ed oramai la quantità di post meritati è tutto sommato stabile. Speriamo bene per i prossimi mesi.

So, I reckon your graph is very interesting as well.
First hints:

amount of spam on each board
MS coverage of each board.

You can always just use the already existing nMeritedPosts column and divide it by the values obtained from Ninjastic, as I believe you do for the Merit/Post ratio.

Yep that's what I did, I used Merit Dashboard's number of merited posts and then ninjastic.space for total amount of posts to caluclate percentage.

Since I had some free time on my hands and it didn't take me much time, here is the test version of "percentage of merited posts per local board" as I thought it would be another interesting chart, to get a little bit clearer pciture of what's going on merit wise in local boards.

What do you guys think about this one and would you like to see it being added to the next month's overview as well?

That would definitely be a good idea to add, meaning I can get away from the calculator a bit when it comes to percentageing how many posts benefit in a given period.

It's probably easiest to just read the total number of posts for the board on the forum, and then do it again the next time you want the data.
That gives the difference excluding deleted posts.

Every once in a while we have a similar situation in our local board where inafmous troll and ban evader fxsurfer/antikvark/anthithesis (that is also known in the geenral part of the forum) comes to our local board and starts the same old bullshit story.

I wonder where he is. One would think it was a wonderful opportunity for him to tell us how useless bitcoin is and what a big scheme it is after the value fell from almost $30k down to $25k. Or when the Ordinals spam started clogging up the blockchain, causing hundreds of thousands of transactions to be unconfirmed. We have to wait some more for his return...

I am not sure I understood you correctly; does that mean you are actually manually counting posts in your local board that have been merited in order to get that percentage?

I guess it is doable if you are doing it for only one board, but there's no way in hell I would do it for 18 local boards. Thinking of it, I wouldn't even do it for my own local board lol.

He sits all day and provokes people to conflict and swearing, insulting the participants of the discussion for no reason in each post and talking in the style of I alone know everything, and you are all a herd of idiots. In terms of value for the locale, this member is of almost no use, and most of his posts are self-repetitions of the same fantasies of his about bitcoin religion and other schizophrenia that he broadcasts here every day.

Unfortunately some people can't resist answering his bullshit and he gets what he what trolls want the most and that is attention.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Almost no one communicates with him, and most users put him on the ignore list.

Unfortunately, all it takes are few members who will engage him.

Quote from: joker_josue on September 07, 2023, 07:32:03 AM

Therefore, removing this strange case from the accounts, I congratulate @Smartprofit [308] who was very close to me. Wink

Yes you are right, he is the 2nd while Ratimov was actually 3rd. I edited the post, thanks.

I don't understand people like that who hate this place and its members, and keep going back only to remind everyone of those facts and tell them how much better they are.

The point is that he is someone who is very old on the forum, and knows where to move. Just create these alts to troll. Maybe you're bored and have nothing to do, or maybe you're upset with someone here on the forum and this was a way of showing your anger.

Anyway, in a very large community, it is normal from time to time for these people to appear. Roll Eyes

This is a troll and a ban evader, he has already managed to register more than 7 accounts, of which 5 were banned.

I guess his accounts are only active in the Russian local or possibly also in boards I don't visit because I don't remember ever seeing any posts of those accounts in the forums I frequent. He isn't even trying to hide the connection to his older accounts since he uses similar usernames as those that are already banned. I don't understand people like that who hate this place and its members, and keep going back only to remind everyone of those facts and tell them how much better they are.

After quite some time we have anew name at the top, tw0.625 from Russian local board who wrote 458 posts (I have to say that i hear about him for the first time),

This is a troll and a ban evader, he has already managed to register more than 7 accounts, of which 5 were banned.

By chance, I also noticed the somewhat unusual volume for a user who has been on the forum for 1 month.
I was not aware of these details. But, with this information, these numbers now make sense. In due time, these types of users will take appropriate actions.

Therefore, removing this strange case from the accounts, I congratulate @Smartprofit [308] who was very close to me. Wink

I think you are the only one having more time to do this kind of stuff when not on holiday, rather than when on holiday!

I had an extremely active and hectic holiday with lots of travelling around after which I feel like I need another vacation to rest so going back to my usual routine is actually relaxing compared to what I've been through last month or so. Cheesy

C'mon man, I beat you fair and square! DdmrDdmr updated his Merit Dashboard week ago which gave you a plenty of time to beat me but I would lie if I say hat beating ou doesn't give me any pleasure. Grin

I will publish my update soon, I just have to replace all the places where I wrote: “I will add the graph as soon as Rikafip stops slacking and sleeping and will finally publish his charts, presumably toward the very end of the month”. /j

Then we can expect your overview in no time!

@Rikafip you are really trying to compile this data every month. This is one the great encouragement of local participation. I really like your data analysis. As you said in last month presentation that Nigeria will challenge Russia board and from what you presented today, I have seen it clear. Nigeria took fourth position in the "posts per local board" and took second position in the active members. This is wow! And I know that for the merit sharing or giving we are not found but trying on our little ways. Rikafip thanks for the update.
