Topic: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity - page 37. (Read 21753 times)

Very good report once again, and I believe that summer time and hot weather usually means decreasing in forum activity in this period, so I am not really worried about that.
But bad news for our local section is that our undisputed champion is below his average number of posts and that is going to be even lower in your next reports... because he made last post in May 18th  

Time for yet another brief monthly overview of local boards activity, this time with a slight delay. As always charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space.

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards. Not yet at least but I hope that changes in the future.

Post activity per local board during April 2022

After last month's increase of activity, we are back to the decrease; during April, 18351 posts were written across local boards which is slight decrease compared to March and 19044 posts written in that period. Decrease is not big, but these things accumulate over time and numbers are generally much lower compared to year ago.

When it comes to the most active threads, there's no change compared to last few months: Russian board is far ahead, followed by Turkish and German. I do hope that situation in Russian board calmed donw, but somehow I doubt that's the case. The name that sticks out in this chart is Pakistan, as they are having great numbers considering the fact that they have only 1 topic to write all those posts (863 to be precise). I don't know what's the quality of those posts written there, but its respectable number nevertheless.

Number of posters per local board during April 2022

Despite the slight decrease of the post amount, number of posters increased: during April 1372 members wrote at least one pass in local boards, which is n increase compared to March during which 1357 members were active. Talking about the boards with the most amount of active members there is no much change compared to March: Russian board is far ahead followed by the usual names.

I've been thinking about increasing the requirement as current one is only 1 post, and I am not sure that we can categorize someone as  an "active member" if he wrote only 1 post in a month.

Post/user ratio per local board for April 2022

This is the 2nd time that I am sharing this chart, and just confirms what we saw already, that more posts written in a board usually results with the bigger post/user ratio.

---

Merit shared per local board during April 2022

Even though post decrease was slight, when iut comes to merit shared it was way more severe. During April, 5556 merits were shared across local boards which is a significant decrease of 20%, compared to March and 6981 merits shared. This huge decrease is mostly caused by three out of four most merited local boards (Russian, Turkish and Italian). Vast majority of other boards have decrease as well, but those three affected the result the most.

The only local board (among the more active ones at least) that has a significant increase was Croatian,but its more due fact that March was very bad month fore us, rather than this being a very good result.


Merit senders/receivers per local board for April 2022

Despite the big decrease of merit shared, this chart doesn't look much different from the March one.

---

Merit/Post ratio per local board for April 2022

Last but not the least in this series of charts is post/merit ratio. Once again Dutch board is kinda messing up the chart, but as I said before these kind of things are normal among the local boards that are no so active as you don't have to share a lot of merit to affect the ratio a lot. The most important thing is that blue color still dominates, meaning monthly ratio is still bigger than 12 months one.

The most active members per local board during April 2022

And for the end of this monthly overview, list of those that are keeping their boards active. Once again joker_josue retained his title and with 294 posts he was the most active members across all local boards. GG!

All charts are finished, I just have to write the text so it should be published tomorrow.


Nah its not burden at all, it's just that some months are more hectic for me due nature of my work, and then you add some procrastination and laziness and this is what you get. And my plan is to continue doing this on a monthly basis, like I did for the last two and a half years.


I am always glad to hear that others are finding these things useful/interesting.

Rikafip, how is the progress of your long-awaited report of the local boards activity?
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that many members of this forum are waiting with great interest for your new report 
Given that I understand that due to personal commitments you don't have so much free time, maybe in the future you could make this report once in three months instead of every month and so reduce the burden a little because of this report that you certainly feel.
For me, that would be quite ok and maybe some trends of this forum would be better seen over a longer period of time.
Thank you for your effort and time for publishing these reports.

Nope, haven't noticed any increase lately. If anything, numbers are going down (for majority of local boards) but that's not just local boards issue as English part of the forum is experiencing the same thing.


I just checked and out of 16 active signature campaigns only 4 don't count posts written in local boards so yeah, situation does look good regarding that compared to some previous times. Then again, I don't think that local boards are affected much with this rule as I think that people will write in their local boards whether posts count or not. For example, (until recently) I've been 2 years in signature campaign that doesn't count local board posts and that didn't stop me from being active in my local and I think its the same thing for majority of other members.



As we say in Croatia, "dobra izlika zlata vrijedi" or "good excuse is worth in gold".  

Come on! You are pulling excuses. We both know we aren’t talking about sickness of things to do at work!

I don't know if it has been commented in some of the 17 pages of the thread, has the activity on local boards increased lately? I say this because I see that there are some signature campaigns that pay to write on the local boards, about 40/50% of the total weekly quota, we have been commenting on the subject in the Spanish section, and at least I remember years ago it wasn't like that, I don't know if this could have had any influence.

You are absolutely right, I am seriously slacking. First I was procrastinating at the beginning of the month when I had plenty of free time but then things got really hectic at work and on top of that I got sick. But as they say that kick in the ass is one step forward so thanks for the reminder.   I will try to publish the charts this week and if not, hopefully by Tuesday (May 31st).

Hey @Rikafip. Stop Slacking! Where have you gone? How comes that it is almost the end of the month, and we both haven't published our graphs (yet??)

Glad to see that you have removed that information. I hope no one will dig out that information using other tools like ninjastic. Also, I am not surprised. Because I believe, If I don't share my own information and I don't give anyone the right to share, It should not be allowed to share anywhere on the internet. Even if I KYC'ed on any platform, If I don't violate any rules. They don't have the right to share my personal information anywhere. Even if I violate the rules, They cannot share it publicly. They might share with Police. That's a different case.

I tried to look at all personal details but I probably forgot to check those encoding on the bottom, it's true that they can reveal more information about owner of the passport.
Some people remember when someone hacked Binance exchange and revealed all personal information with people holding passports in their hand, with details that were partially blurred.
I think information like that was even posted in bitcointalk forum and we probably posted similar things in Investigation board before.

Excellent attitude! 
It remains now for the other moderators to be aware of these situations and do the same to remove this content.

One thing I learned from this forum is that it is a forum that always seeks to fight fraud and theft attempts! Admitting that in the beginning, when I met Bitcoin, if it wasn't for this forum, I could have been cheated and lost a lot of BTC. I believe these values must continue, no matter how attempts to steal or spread sensitive information that could harm others occur.

I think we all feel safe using BitcoinTalk. And we hope this continues for many years to come.

Thank you for the additional context. In light of that, I agree that the post contains data that is too security-sensitive, and it should therefore not be allowed.

If I am not mistaken that kind of data repetition is quite common also on other passports. So yes, I guess the person posting those picture made an incredible error not making that part unreadable, unless, of course, it is not an error and was on purpose.

Whoever edited this photo, forget to blur these sections. Watch carefully, You will know everything.



Well, I agree partially. But, I believe personal documents should not be allowed to share. Even if it was shared before on the internet. This will spread it more and it can be used for bad things.

Who exactly was doxxed here?
If that is some image picked up from internet/telegram showing random guy that has no links with any profile in this forum than I don't think this is the reason for ban or deletion, if post was made in Politics section like it was.
I would never post something like this in bitcointalk forum, but that's a different story.

How can you read full name and other personal information from that documents when everything important was blurred, except maybe his address and date of birth?

When the response to someone breaking the rules is urging forgiveness, do the rules really matter at all?  It seems more like virtue signaling to me while pretending to allow free speech when in reality the forum is heavily moderated for things like cryptography usage outside of Bitcoin.  It's really sad to be honest, but I understand that it's a big job to keep bad people from making inappropriate posts that violate the rules.  It's easier to just take this route of making excuses and continue censoring what you want while allowing members to be targeted and harassed under the guise of free speech when in reality it's just pawning off the responsibility on the community using the trust network, which is empowered by politics and heavily manipulated, not to mention does nothing to stop the underlying abuse and instead causes more abuse to those who stand up and do the right thing.

In general, we consider doxxing to be linking of a pseudonymous identity with a real-life identity:
If that ID was claimed to belong to some forum member, then that'd be doxxing. But because it stands alone, we don't consider it doxxing.

Separately, it's not allowed to post things that are especially security-sensitive:
If those images contain info which would be very useful in stealing that person's identity or committing similar fraud, then perhaps they should not be allowed under this rule. I don't think they contain such info, though I'm not 100% sure.

Also separately, if info about some person is posted with the implication that some sort of violence should be committed against them, then that would not be allowed because incitement isn't allowed. For example, this would be too much like incitement: "Here's a bad person's photo. Maybe someone should do something about them." I read (via Google Translate) light_warrior's post as (disappointingly) hateful, but I don't read it as incitement.

So I don't think that the post should be deleted.

But how did these guys get that information!?
If it wasn't published by yourself, it's clearly breaking the rules! They must be erased.

The point is that as long as users don't violate forum rules with their posts, no one touches them. Formally, showing hatred is not a violation of the rules. The only thing is that if there is a specific call to violence in the post, such a post should be deleted and the user may get a ban.

Since Russia's war against Ukraine is illegal from the point of view of the United States, such statements on the forum should be deleted and users can be banned.

For example:

• "Russian military: go bomb Ukraine!"
• "You should go join the Russian army to help the war against Ukraine."
• "You should attack Ukrainians."

But such statements (even though they are wrong) are allowed because they do not directly call for violence:

For example:

• "The war against Ukraine is justified."
• "It would strategically be a good idea for Putin to bomb Ukraine."

Specific incitement to violence is forbidden on the forum.

P.S. My post is based on a consultation with theymos.
