Topic: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity - page 17. (Read 21078 times)

Oh damn I completely forgot about that, your bot not being able scrape the forum due recent issues so number of posts appear a bit lower than they actually are.  You shoulnd't have mentioned that lol, ignorance is bliss.  

If LoyceV doesn't have the total post numbers, DdmrDdmr might have. Anyway, at least its the same for all local boards since they are all relatively equally affected.

Keep in mind that my data is a bit incomplete for this month because of the 2 days the bot couldn’t scrape the forum. Could be a good idea ask @LoyceV if he scraped what’s missing on his archive so he gives you better numbers.

After being late last month, I"ve decided to release this month's obverview a little bit sooner to avoid potentual complaints. Like in previous overviews, charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space.

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards yet but I do hope that theymos and Cyrus will do something about it soon because I think their numers are definitely strong enough to give them their own local board.

Post activity per local board during June 2023

During last month 15319 posts were written acorss 18 local boards/communities which is ~8% decrease compared to May number (16641). Since its the beginning of the summer, I am not surprised with the decreased activity because pople have more fun things to do than sit at the computer. Due this overall decerased activity, no susprise that majority of boards had lower numbers compared to May, with no one really sticking out in that regard.

Regarding the most active boards nothing changed here: Russian board is stil far ahead of the others, followed by Turkish and German. As a matter of fact, the top 6 is exactly the same like in May, while situation at the bottom is also similar to previous months.

Active member per local board during June 2023

During above mentioned period, 1272 members wrote at least 1 post in their local boards which is very similar to May and  1270 active members. When I saw overall decrease of the amount of posts I epxected to see this number goind down as well, but for whatever reason it remained basically the same, with even 2 active members more. Bare in mind that I counted members who wrote even 1 post during last month so that may give a little bit skewed picture on how many active members each board actually had.



To get a little bit clearer picture of the boards activity and their member's posting habits, here is the "local boards members per amount of posts" chart.

When it comes to percentage of members of wrote only one post during June 2023, Arabic board is ahead of the others with 45%, followed by Greek (43%) and Bangladesh & Italian boards that both had 33% of such members. The lowest percentage of such members had Indian board (17%), followed by Nigerian (19%) and Romanian (20%) local boards.

In the 2-9 posts bracket Romanian board is ahead with 60% of such members, followed by Indian local board (54%) and Pilipinas (48%) local board. In the same bracket, Arabic board with 27% had lowest percentage of those members, followed by Turksih (31%) and Polish (33%) local boards.

Polish board has the highest percentage of active members that wrote 10+ posts during last month period ( 44%), followed by Turkish (43%) and Portuguese (42%) local boards. On the other hand, Greek boiard had the lowest percentage of such members (14%), followed by German (22% and French % Russian local boards both with 24% of such members.

Merit shared per local board during June 2023

During last month period 6939 merits where shared acorss 18 local boards, which is a 6% decrease compared to May 2023 numbers (7376 merits). Since amount of posts went down by 8%, its no surprise that the same thing hapepned with the merit and it was kinda expected.

Once again Russian board had by far the most amount of merit shared which makes sense as they are more active than next few local boards combined, once again followed by Indonesian local board that yet again had very high amount of merits shared. At the bottom we can see the boards that are generally less active, which also makes sense, with the Pilipinas board kinda sticking out as I think they deserve more merit considering their amount of posts (assuming they don't have a lot of spam).

Merit per transaction across local boards in June 2023

Since there was some demand for this chart, I've decided to include it from now in in this overview. As you can see, Greek local board has by far the highest tx/merit ratio, but that's only because they only had 1 merit transaction of 4 merits, which then made it so high. Generally, least active local boards will often end up at the top of this chart as its very easy for them to to have unusually high ratio, compared to local boards with high amount of merit transaction, like for example German or Indonesian local board.

---

Merit senders and receivers per local board during June 2023

Self explanatory chart that shows the amount of merit senders and receivers in each local board, sorted by the amount of merits shared. Nigerian and Pilipinas board are yet again sticking out which could indicate that they could use more merit.

---

Merit/Post ratio per local board for June 2023

Last but not the least in this series of chart, post/merit ratio. Spanish local board is far ahead the others with the very high ratio unusual for them (they generally do have high ratio, but not this high) followed by standard names, Romanian and Arabic local board and thanks to recent increase in amount of merits, Indonesian board as well.

At the bottom are two local boards that are not very active (Greek and Polish) and two (Nigerian, Pilipinas) that are very active but as seen in previous charts, they do lack merit.

The most active members per local board during June 2023

And for the end of last month's local board activity overview, list of the most active members acorss 18 local boards and that are keeping their boards alive. joker_josue from Portuguese local board has yet again been the most active members with 275 posts written during last month, followed by two members from Russian local board, Smartprofit (234) and Ratimov (221).

Exactly.

So, at the beginning of the year I would like to see ranks of all members who wrote at leats one post during the last year, across local board. It is fairly easy to do if when making it for my own local board as we don't have that many active users and I know all of their ranks by heart, but in the case of making it across all local boards, this manul checking approach would take me too much time.


Yeah I will check with him, thnx.

Thanks Rikafip, that's exactly what I had in mind when I wrote my previous comment.
I submitted an application in Meta for merit source 5 years ago with the motive to help my local community, because at that time we had many young and active members with low forum ranks.
After that, I started a forum thread in our local board where all members of the local community for the last 5 years could report their quality posts on the forum and get merits.
Unfortunately, this forum thread has become almost inactive for the last year or two, and it seems that my task of helping the local community to progress faster on this forum is completed.
Of course, I still reward every quality post on my local board and in the main part of the forum with merit, but that's a completely different story now.

I don’t really have the data to do it properly, since I only track Merited profiles (I therefore don’t have a view on all the profiles that participate in a given local board).

Regardless, it would all depend on the exact definition of what you’d like to show. I presume the driver would be to see the Ranks of participants (posters) on a given local board. In order to so, I’d use Ninjastic to derive the participants (posters) on a given timeframe, and then cross-reference the data with the Google file I update weekly here to derive the current associated Rank. Unfortunately, that would only find a match for Merited profiles, which would be a subset of what’s needed.

Perhaps TryNinja keeps/updates the profile data in his DB, and can add it to the output that generates the list of users (current available variables are {number} {username} {uid} {count}). That would make it easy to introduce current Rank into the derived information (*).

(*) Logically, Rank evolves, and data is attributed in general to the current Rank, not the Rank at the time of making a given post (i.e. If we explore a year’s worth of data, a beginner could have gone from Brand New through to Sr. Member in that time).

Daniel91 is OP of our local thread where members can submit their good undermerited/unmerited posts and that thread has been pretty inactive for quite some time.

I think that in the last six months or so we had maybe 5-6 submissions and that's what he (probably) meant when he said that no one needs/wants merit anymore in our local board anymore as thread used to be way more active 3-4 years ago when me and other members were going through ranks. Its sort of unwritten rule in that topic not to submit your posts once you reach Legendary rank and since majority of us reached that and we don't have many new members, thread became inactive.

I think you always need merits, even if it's legendary.
The merits are the recognition that what the person says/does is useful for the readers of this community, whether that person is legendary or not.

In addition, merits continue to be useful for users to be able to participate in campaigns. Therefore, for me the merits are much more than just ranking up in the forum.

Considering the quality of our members and lack of spam and shitposts, I think that our merit/post ratio is finally where it should be, after years of struggling and being seriously undermerited.


Yeah, that is caused by lack of new members who are willing to go through ranks. Majority of new members come, leave few posts and then disappear until they have another questions.

---

This just gave me an idea to make another chart with forum ranks across local boards, but I am not sure how feasible that would be. Not sure that it would make sense to make it every month, but I think I might include it in the yearly overview, like I am doing for Croatian local board.

Now I just have to figure out from where to pull that data so I can actually make a chart. @DdmrDdmr (or anyone else) do you maybe have some idea?

On the Croatian local board, we actually have a situation where almost all members have reached the desired forum ranks and no one needs new merits. 
Even new members are not interested in merit but to share their crypto experiences and knowledge with us.
I would say that our local board has a lot of quality members and several merit sources, which means that there is enough merit for everyone, but no one needs them anymore 
This is why our Merit/Post ratio in May and every month is so good.
This year we got two very active new members, but in general our local board follows the general statistics of this forum and the decline in activity.

Our local board had very good Merit/Post ratio in May, maybe we could do a bit better with activity but I am certainly not going to write more than I usually do for anything.
When I was in Coinslotty campaign I didn't have any limitations and I didn't had to write any post in local board (or anywhere else) and I still was very much active and in top 3, not bad at all
We need to have more fresh blood and new members, but I am not expecting big change during summertime.

Yep, last time thyemos introduced new merit sources was 2 years ago, back in June/July 2021. From what I noticed, he tends to add new merit sources in bulk after he notices that merrit shared across forum drops significantly, and until that happens I think that its unlikely that we will see new new merit sources, even if some local boards could really use more. 


Have you tried sharing posts from your local board in Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source? I did that in the past when our local board lacked merit and it really helped us.

The script has presented the good cluster results and does it produces the graphical representation as well or you use external sources for it? The progress for them is really good with active posters as well from the board.

Yeah and flash @Ratimov has great cluster lines spreading across different members like the roots of old tree along with @DdmrDdmr and others but this is really good and needful for the progress of local board members.Speaking about additional merit source then I also doubt that if any has been appointed from a long time.But if the merit source help them that will boost their confidence and we might see more progress in all aspects from Indonesian board in your next month charts.

I was also surprised to see such a big merit increase in Indonesian board (first thing that crossed my mind is that they maybe got a new merit source but I was too lazy to check Merit Dashboard to see what's acually going on) but then Ratimov gave an explanation that external merit sources gave them a push.

I rmember same thing happened in Croatian board few years ago when we were undermerited and external merit sources came from time to time and helped.

As I just finished my monthly Italian board overview, I noticed the Indonesian board had another extremely positive month.

As I am a nosy one, I ran one of my "manual scripts" to check who was sending merits to who (something I usually do on the Italian board).

The result is the following; hopefully, you find it entertaining.



If you click on it, you'll find an interactive version of it!

I looked some data for June and you are right, we can expect pretty big drop of post numbers in some boards, which is kinda epxected as summer is coming so people have better things to do that spend time on the forum.


While spammovic is responsible for almost 20% of our total posts in May, if you check that table at the end of the overview you might notice that there are some local boards that depend even more on one member and in soem cases even go to almsot 50%.

Thanks Rikafip for another very interesting analysis of this forum.
I'm glad that we avoided a drop in activity last month because it's almost summer when there will almost certainly be a lot less activity on the forum.
Unfortunately, we still have a decline in the number of active members.
We in the Croatian local board are lucky that thanks to 1 member we always have solid local statistics and that saves us for now from being the worst local board on this forum 
We should reward him for that effort 

Hey, Rikafip, great work as always! And a big congrats on joining the prestigious 5k merit club. Well-deserved recognition for your contributions!



You are really cruel. You didn't even give him a chance to blow out the candles! Hahahaha!

Congratz Rikafip and sorry für the 5001 Merits, my bad

Usually I publish these overviews much earlier in the month but from time to time I get into lazy mode and that's exactly what happened this month. But yeah, I am surprised that no one complained earlier. 


Ye I just looked at Merit Dashboard data for Indonesian board and it looks like that beside you, few other non-Indonesian members helped them out which caused such a big increase in merit shared. Btw, you (and others with extra merit available) might look into some other active boards with low merit/source ratio, like Phillippines and Nigerian.


Cheers!
