@DdmrDdmr I know its a long shot, but is there any way to see percentage of merited posts in each local board?

Great minds think alike.
I made this exact request to our mutual friends, and he delivered:

<...>
I’ve added a column to the "Merit per Post" tab called nMeritedPosts, that counts the distinct number of posts merited within the given board and month.

Notice that the toll is counting the number of posts that have been merited withing the meriting timeframe, not withing the posting timeframe. That is to say, I’m counting based on when the meriting event takes place, not when the posting event takes place.

Note: I'm updating the Dashboard now. Give it 5-10 minutes or so to complete.

However, one thing remains constant and never changes and that is the name of our local champion, right?  Grin
I sure hope that doesn't change as he is a crucial part of our board.  Cheesy



Makes sense. Our Polish board has one of the lowest ratio, I suspect we only have one merit source who is not very active lately.
From what i can see, it looks like your only meeit source is malevolent but as you said he is not very active lately.


The discussion there is pretty clean and spam-free, but, as there are only a few active members there, I think people are hesitant to keep sending merits to the same members too often, as it could be seen as abuse.
I don't think that anyone would see it as abuse as long merit is sent to any decent/helpful post as people got way more relaxed when is comes to how merit is shared.


Still, seeing boards with a ratio of over 1 seems a bit odd, as I can't imagine that (on average) every single post would be worth meriting.
Its more about good posts getting more merits. The main difference I noticed on our local board when we got few more merit sources is while before you would get maybe 2-3 merits for a good post, nowadays you will get like 10 and that's why merit ratio went up a lot.



Out of curiosity (after seeing pawel7777 post) I decided to check how many merits is sent per transaction and result is yet another chart. What can i say, I really enjoy making those.  Grin

While I wasn't surprised at all (as a matter of fact I expected it) to see Arabic board at the top of this chart, I was surprised to see some of the local boards that generally have lower merit/post ratio (Russian, Polish, even Turkish)) to have one of the highest merit sent per transaction.

I was always puzzled by how disproportionate this chart is. What would be the reason for the top boards to have this ratio over 1000% higher than the bottom ones?
Do they have more active merit sources, or is it more about cultural differences and stronger in-group preferences than the others? Or maybe both.
Imho, by far the most important factor is how many active merit sources local board has and after that is probably how clean of spam board is and quality of the members writing there.

My local board (Croatian) used to have one of the lowest merit/post ratios despite the fact that we didn't have spam at all and posts were generally of a good quality (for example our local board had 4 members in CM campaign, afaik more than any other local board). Only after theymos gave us 2 new merit sources our ratio started going up and now its among the highest of all local boards.

Makes sense. Our Polish board has one of the lowest ratio, I suspect we only have one merit source who is not very active lately. I myself was a merit source back in the day but got removed due to inactivity (was away from the forum for >2 years). The discussion there is pretty clean and spam-free, but, as there are only a few active members there, I think people are hesitant to keep sending merits to the same members too often, as it could be seen as abuse.

Thank you for another great report Rikafip.
As far as I remember, until recently we commented on the big drop in activity on this forum, and the drop in the number of active members, but it seems that lately the situation is improving and that's great news for this forum.
Lately, there has been an increase in the value of the crypto market, so maybe that also helped.
A 20% increase in forum posts is a remarkable achievement and I hope that trend continues.

Merit/Post ratio per local board for March 2023

Last but not the least in this series of chart, merit/post raio. Since amount of posts increased by 20% and merits by 60%, its no surprise that blue colour dominates the chart, with only Italian, Spanish and Nigerian boards having lower March than 12 month ratio. Romanian and Arabic and at their usual 1st and 2nd place this and buig surprise this month is Indonesian with 1.19 merits per postthat is a huge increase compared to their usual numbers, as seen on the chart.

Oh here it for another month and great work as usual @Rikafip and it seems like you are getting on the schedule with presenting these monthly reports to help the members gain data and compare the local board growth each month.So well done once again.

Merit dashboard has just been updated.
From this moment I am the only one slacking!
So now it has been updated so you should keep slacking aside and present your reports also as others have beaten you this time also so waiting for you to have proper comeback man Grin

Yeah you are right, he is obviously a merit source. I always wondered how Pakistan community have such a good merit/post ratio without having a merit source and I never really bothered to check situation there more thoroughly.
Yeah probably he is merit source and have seen him quite active in Pakistani board sharing merits with the local board members.From the BPIP record it's clear that he has earned 410 merits and sent 400 smerits in past 120 days so it's clear from this only.But it's good that he is doing his duty well of merit distribution on the board to deserving members.

It looks like dead race between Turkish and German local board for second place in active members and merits shared, but Turkish board have more written posts.
Yep. I thought that Nigerian board will join the race soon but it looks like they slowed down a bit.


I wish we had better statistics in our local board but it is what it is, several legendary members left us in last few years but we gained some new members along the way, so it's not that bad.
Its pretty much the same situation in other local boards and forum in general so at least we don't stick out in that regard.

Ahm. Don't you think shahzadafzal is a Pakistani Merit Source? Of course, he can choose not to reveal. But I believe he is a merit source.

Afaik Pakistan local thread doesn't even have their own merit source and they are doing pretty good merit wise so maybe you might check them out and see how they are doing it.

Ahm. Don't you think shahzadafzal is a Pakistani Merit Source? Of course, he can choose not to reveal. But I believe he is a merit source. He joined the forum in 2018. Since then, he has sent 2194 Merits and Earned 2370 Merits. Do you think it's possible without being a merit source?

https://loyce.club/Merit/history/1634314.html

Look at the Top three posters of Pakistan Thread. All of them got the most merits from shahzadafzal.

1. Shan85 [54] https://bpip.org/Profile?id=3411432
2. ThemePen [44] https://bpip.org/Profile?id=3470490
3. UmerIdrees [42] https://bpip.org/Profile?id=1729238

Not only them. Most Pakistani users got the most merits from him  Wink

Actually from this moment as I just updated three merit charts with the new data.  Wink

Regarding updated merit/post ratio chart, March difference was max 0.03 so I didn't bother updating 12 months data as well since difference woulnd't even be noticeable.


It is great to see that the local boards of the Philippines are active in terms of merit ratio. That only means my efforts was effective though I am short in sMerits now hahahaha, but I am just glad that it was shown on the statistics board. That was really our plan to generate our own merit cycle so we didn't have to worry seeing our stats at the bottom of the ladder besides that, it is also to help our fellow citizens move up their ranks and help them improve their post quality to be given merit.
Your merit/post ratio indeed improved, but imho you still have long way to go as even 0.12 is pretty low. Afaik Pakistan local thread doesn't even have their own merit source and they are doing pretty good merit wise so maybe you might check them out and see how they are doing it.

It would be possible, but why exactly would you want that? I am asking because from what I noticed, you are not the only board with similar topic, where people share their good posts to local merit sources. Imho, even those posts should count towards your total number, there's nothing weong with that.

I'm curious about the difference between the statistics with and without that thread. Because some users only send merits there and never distribute them in the rest of the forum. In addition, there are a lot of people who share their random messages and get merits. I'm not against these kind of threads, ideally you post your quality posts and get merits for those posts. But in reality people send merits to those lists without even checking the content. Even foreigners who saw that this was an easy way to earn merit started to write on the thread and get rewarded.

Why comparison of the Bengali Local thread isn't here? If I'm correct, last month, we had a lot of active users on the forum, and due to an increase in the post quality, we have seen a significant increase in merit counts too I think (haven't checked last month's data though). Why does merit sender and receivers stat not have Bengali local thread? Or it's based on board, no local thread is included?
Because Merit Dashboard has merit senders/receivers data only for local boards, meaning both Bangladesh and Pakistan are missing from this chart. I have to check with @DdmrDmr if he can maybe provide that data as well and if he can, of course I will include the both.

    As usual, I have also updated the local boards race!
    Cheers, I updated the overview with your animated chart.


    Turkish is missing here. It should be normally in second or third place in this chart.
    Sorted now, thanks for letting me know.


    Is it possible to remove one thread from statistics? I wonder how stats would change without a merit cafe thread.

    a few tabs, specifically those referring to “monthly” time intervals (local “board post count evolution” for example, still miss March update. This leads me to think something is still missing. [/li][/list]
    Seems like there is some merit info that includes the whole of March 31st, but I guess DdmrDdmr just didn't have time to update charts and tables with that data.

    Am I the only person seeing that the Merit Dashboard was updated on April 3rd? I don't know what I am missing. Tongue



    You are not the only one.
    But:

    • @ddmrddmr told us that he was going ti update the merit dashboard a few days later than usual
    • a few tabs, specifically those referring to “monthly” time intervals (local “board post count evolution” for example, still miss March update. This leads me to think something is still missing.

    Merit senders and receivers per local board during March 2023


    Several local boards stick out on this chart (Nigerian, Pilipinas) meaning they have a lrage amount of merit senders/receivers compared to the total amount of merits shared that might suggest they could use more merit sources. Since no one expressed their opinion on how this chart should be sorted I will keep it as it is, meaning it will be sorted by the amount of merits shared.
