Topic: [CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity - page 47. (Read 21078 times)

I did notice it in my survey:

[Meta] Andamento sezione italiana

As you know, Italian board is looking to surpass the Indonesian board! (
This is going to happen in a long time, actually... we are just playing with extrapolations!

After experiencing a considerable decline in June 2021, I see that the number of merit distributed in the Indonesian Local Board has increased by more than 371%. I know some global merit source are willing to distribute merit in the Indonesian Local Board and that may be part of another reason why the increase is happening. Don't know if there is any added merit source in Local Indonesia, but the July increase really need to be maintained.

Here's a brief monthly overview of the local board Bahasa Indonesia for July 2021.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.57655568

I’ve toggled around with the filters, so that they apply to the left hand side column on the Received Merit Chart (they already act in this manner on the Sent Merit Chart). Since the left hand column shows the profiles that have received most Merits on the selected board/s, you can click on the profiles from the left list to include them in the chart. You can also use the mouse to select a consecutive range of profiles.

Selecting more than, say, 10 to 15 profiles on the chart makes it unreadable. If you want to display more, perhaps it's better to show multiple charts with profiles subselections.

I’ve left the Italian board selected as default for now, for ease of view of the above (may change back to selected global users on the next update).

I have just tried to replicate this table with received merits, instead of sent merits. But I wasn't able to filter out only the say 100 users, so I get this terrible spaghetti colour-blind nightmare graph:



Is there a way to sort the users on the right column according to the relevant metrics in the graph? That graph of your was a custom graph? I couldn't replicate with the standard dashboard tool (maybe it's the vaccine-induced fever...)

It is surprising the amount of information that can be derived from a single table (merit.txt), and crossing it with just a couple more scrape originated tables (profiles and delimited metadata from merited messages).

The chart, as you say, is very effective to better understand who are behind most merit awarding acts on a given board, and likely leads to detecting active/past active Merit Sources there very easily. I probably only use five or six of the tabs on the dashboard myself with some regularity.

The nice point of your dashboard is that there are so many ways to use it. How I never thought about adding this very simple, yet effective graph to my analysis?

If we take a look at sMerit being sent on the Indonesian local board, we can see that the large sMerit awarders have drastically reduced their awarding action on that local board, even to the point of coming to a halt over the past few months:


Now the inner motives should probably be sussed out at a local level, determining whether the sources have gone inactive, or the board has dropped significantly in the number of interesting posts created there.

Yep, thats it.



I have no idea what's going on in Indonesian board, but amount of merit shared really took a dive. In my first monthly overview back in March 2020, Indonesian board had 821 merits shared, and compared to this month's 62 that's like 90% decrease which is huge. In the same period, number of posts didn't change drastically, so that shouldn't be a  main reason.

I mean, I can understand merit shared decreasing due lower number of posts or lower quality, but such a huge decrease looks more like you lost merit source, or he became inactive. Then again, this is just my speculation based on the numbers, members of your board can probably give a better answer.

Indonesian local board have experienced a decline in the number of monthly merit distribution since the merit system was implemented. This time only 62 merit were sent there. November 2020 is the lowest month among the other 2 months, December 2020 and June 2021. I'm sure there's no missing merit source there, but it could be that some of them have high criteria in choosing post before sending merit. I don't see any other reason for this, apart from the decreased number of post then quality is always the reason why not much merit is being shared there. Hopefully there will be improvements after adding the merit source.

Would be great if you could add @Rikaflip also Russian number of posts in the first chart because it really looks like there was nothing posted and tons of merits sent on Russian local board.

I assume this is a mistake?

EDIT

I think I already found the answer when I was reading your thread further

Yep, it's nice to see that Portuguese board is not only maintaining its numbers while majority of other boards are getting less active, but even increasing the post count. Keep it up!


Congratulations on getting additional merit source! What you explained is pretty much situation on Croatian board as well; we also have very clear board with minimum amount of spam, and it was also under merited. Luckily, we also got another merit source, so situation should be much better from now on. As I said before, Ia m really curious to see this month's stats after the increase.

Excellent work Rikaflip.

I was taking a look at your charts, and I am happy that the Portuguese board is becoming one of the biggest local boards in the forum. This is a recent event, as our board used to have less activity.

However, the merit/post ratio there is extremely low compared to other local boards. I was able to visualize that thanks to your charts.

Recently theymos added one more merit source in our local board. I hope things will get better there soon.

Edit:   There is no spam in the Portuguese board. Our ratio should be much higher.

Well, they will have to be persistent if they wanna get local board, and unless I am mistaken they already have thread in Meta asking exactly that. Generally, I understand why forum stuff doesn't add new boards easily as there are so many dead/half dead boards already, but I do hope that they are not completely opposed to the idea of making new ones, if there is such a need.

---

It was an attempt to remove one of the most quality local boards in order for my local board to appear higher on the list. Joking of course, it was an honest mistake and it's been sorted already, thanks for letting me know. I see that Italian board keeps going strong, 0.63/0.58 is a great merit to post ratio!


I have to do the same thing for Croatian board as well, as soon as I catch some time.

Did you censor the Italian board on purpose on this graph or it is only an error?

Great work anyway. Once again, you are a bell ringing: it’s time for my analysis on the Italian board! (And I admit double checking my results against yours).

Thank you ver much Rikafip for these very interesting statistics.
I would say that not only the number of posts and activities on the forum has been reduced, but also the quality of the posts.
However, we got new local merit sources so if nothing else, all quality and good posts will get well-deserved merits, which has so far been one of the main problems in the non-English sections of the forum.
I agree with the suggestion that members from Pakistan also get their local board, based on their contributions and activities on the forum.

Both @DdmrDdmr and me explained to you how Merit Dashboard counts posts, yet you keep going on month after month with the same thing all over again, like a broken record. I also explained to you why I prefer using Merit Dashboard (and when I gonna change that) over ninjastic.space when it comes to post count, and I stand by my decision. There is no conspiracy against any board, so stop QQing about it. Well, you can go on, but at least I won't have to look at it.

Since I don't wanna go through all this again, and you obviously don't plan to stop with this pestering, you are going on my ignore list. Over and out.

Time has come for yet another monthly overview of the local board activity. Like in all previous overviews, all charts were made sing @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard where you can find more details about each local board.

You will notice several communities marked with "*", meaning those are the ones without own local board but I think it's important to include them too. Well, at least those few most active ones that may have some chance of getting their own local board.

Post activity per local board during June 2021


Unfortunately, post number continued to decline after last month's increase, and almost all local boards had decrease. Turkish board remained at the top, followed by the German  and Portuguese. Last month Russian board had so many posts deleted that they ended up in negative, meaning they are missing from this month's chart.

It's nice to see Pakistan community going strong, despite not having their own local board. Looking at their activity for the last couple of months, maybe it's time for another local board which ( AFAIK) hasn't been added for quite some time.

Merit shared per local board during June 2021

During June, only 3588 merits were shared, which is a solid ~9% decrease compared to May 2021. That goes in line with overall forum's all time low when it comes to merit shared. Usual names are at the top of the chart; Russian, German, Italinad and Turkish, and pretty much the same thing can be said about the bottom.

All this merit numbers should look significantly different in the next month overview as theymos introduced 14 new merit sources, and increased monthly allocation to some of the existing ones. By doing so, monthly merit generation increase by ~60% so I am really looking forward seeing how that reflects on local boards.

Merit senders and receivers per local board during June 2021

Pretty much straightforward chart, in which (naturally) more merits shared usually means more people involved, with a few standard exceptions.

Merit/Post ratio per local board for June 2021

And for the end, merit/post chart, that is going to look (hopefully) much better next month. I do hope that some of the new merit sources are from the few local boards that look seriously under merited ( Croatian board got new one yesterday) like Turkish and Pilipinas. Not that some of the others also couldn't use extra merit , but those two looks the most undermerited, given the limited data I have (I don't speak those languages so I can't tell how quality discussions are there).

Yeah I know about the differences, and I am aware of the numbers on ninjastic.space, I check them every month while making that list of the most active users per local board. I said in one of my previous posts when I gonna start using ninjastic.space for the post count. Until then, plan is to stick with Merit Dashboard.

Thanks!


Haha, I know the feeling, I also have a very hectic schedule for the last couple of months and its affecting my posting habits as well. I used to wait every first Friday of the month for @DdmrDdmr to update his merit dashboard  so I can start working on this imemdiately, and now it takes me couple of days to make this.

Your analysis of Italian board is extremely detailed and I am sure it takes a lot of time to compile all that, so I am not surprised that you are postponing it, as I am often doing the same for Croatian board, albeit its way less detailed than yours.

Good work as usual.
This reminds me I am late with my own analysis on the Italian local board.
Damn, real life, stop interfering with my posting habits!
