Aww back to third position without even bothering maxing all my three branches!
I have been particularly lazy this time!
Hope to do better next month!
If you call yourself lazy then you haven't noticed others merit charts  because each time I check the merits stats on your profile it's amazing and have increased with your recent thread for helping members to gain merits with post review.But yes would like to see you back on top in this chart as well

Merits Tree
December'22
Small Summary:
For the third time in 2022, in July, September and now December, @DdmrDdmr is back in first place.
Since March, @Ratimov has not been part of this top, but he is back in the top. Will he go back to being one of the biggest merit givers?
In a few days, I will post the Merit Tree for the year 2022.
Description:
FIRST USER > TOP THREE OF FIRST USER (NO. MERITS RECEIVED FROM PREVIOUS LEVEL) > TOP THREE OF SECOND USERS (NO. MERITS RECEIVED FROM PREVIOUS LEVEL)
List Order:
From the first user with the most merits given this month, to the number 20th user with the most merits given.

Q1) Do you need the data for all boards (local and non-local)?
Q2) What timeframe are you going to work with?
Thank you for your quick reply. Q1) Local boards works fine for me. I don't know if anyone else is interested in that. Q2) Monthly timeframe is absolutely fine for me. I actually realized data was missing because November transactions were missing. So I am totally fine with a monthly update after full month is available.

I thought it wasn’t being used, and declined updating it further … I’ve just updated it in accordance to the data as of 24/12/2024. Notes: - Data for December 2022 is logically partial. My initial idea was to update it after obtaining data to cover each full month (i.e. we wouldn’t have data for the full month of December until the 07/01/2022). - Data is limited to Merits awarded on local boards (I can’t recall why I placed that restriction). Therefore, user’s data does not add-up to that shown on the Merit Trees on this thread (lacking info for the non-local boards on my Google Sheet). I can include the data for non-local boards easily, but the number of cells surpasses Google Sheet's capacity. The solution would be to delimit the timeframe to a month or year at the most. Q1) Do you need the data for all boards (local and non-local)? Q2) What timeframe are you going to work with? Edit: Ok, I'll stick to Local Board records and see how far I can stretch keeping all historical data for them. Edit 20230106: Data updated on Google Sheet with closing data for December 2022.

I determine the board by examining and parsing the path labels, which is not the best of ways (in case there is a name change). The Merit Tx has the message Id, and I later scrape some of the message metadata, including the path name which I parse in order to determine the board. I used to have a tab on the Merit Dashboard called "Reciprocal Merits", which determined how many sMerits were sent from a given profile to another and back. I eventually deleted it because it was slowing down everything more than it should. I don’t think I made it filterable at the time by board though. Edit: You’re probably aiming at something like this in terms of data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12G0JE1HVX9McRQT9oNflZ-FDavhEOzDXxRyNm4rnfZs/edit?usp=sharingProbably needs a process to delete rows that indicate the same data in reverse order. gtg Sorry to improperly derail this thread one more time. Is that sheet updated? Apparently a lot of data are missing. I would like to use it for my Italian meta overview.

Sometimes you see a post and have no smerit to give, I think 99% of forum members are like this, if they really find a post useful and educational, constructive they would like to give the author some merits but they usually have none.
Only if we had a small system eg, 'like' 'dislike' icons somewhere inside the post box, then we could see and find the most useful answer/post/content by going straight to the most liked post in a thread instead of reading pages of basic elementary school kid's opinion.
When you have few merits, you have to be more careful about the merits you give. I've had situations where I keep the post that I want to give merits, so as soon as I have something to give, I can do it. I think that everyone should manage their own merits. And I also think that merits should be given to any type of member, novice or experienced. If the post has quality and an effort was made to do so, it should receive merit. If everyone does this a little bit, which I think they do, then everyone will always receive some merit when they deserve it.

I know that giving merits to even higher ranking members for their great effort on making and posting constructive content is good, but why are the most high ranking members give merit to each other back and forth in high numbers?
Because....the best posts....are usually made by senior members. Like it or not, agree with it or not, but that's why you're seeing what you're seeing. I would also point out that this isn't a new phenomenon--not by a long stretch. I think the last few members I merited were Legendaries, and that was only because I'd taken a quick breather from doing post history reviews. And on a very much related note, members who get a lot of posts merited also end up with a lot of sMerits. Guess they're judging the Legendary posts to be of higher quality than the rest, too. It isn't a conspiracy (at least not one I'm in on or have ever heard about); it's just a natural outcome of the system and the community. However this is just my opinion, great works are appreciated even if they
don't receive merits, usually I refrain to give merit to legendaries even if they deserve it, because honestly they don't need it.
I try to do that as well, and I've said as much many times. But what can I say? I often deviate from the path I originally planned. That doesn't mean there's substantially fewer sMerits for lower-ranked members however. If you've got enough of them stored up, sometimes it's a pain in the ass trying to unload all of them.

I can see why some people give 20, 30, 40, 50 merits to some legendary members, but I don't think we should base meritting others just because they have done something great, rather to merit those who really need it. However this is just my opinion, great works are appreciated even if they
don't receive merits, usually I refrain to give merit to legendaries even if they deserve it, because honestly they don't need it.
On another note, we could have something similar to like, or thumbs down/up to show our like and dislike and leave merit for ranking up, that way we could actually show our gratitude towards those high rankings who deserve it, but with the current system, not all have smerits to spread around on really amazing content made by legends.

Thank you very much for this update.
Yes, November was a good month for me sending merits. Quite surprised having maxed three out of three users btw, as I thought my merit thread forced me to wider my meriting target audience!
Interestingly, this was the result of all your smerits, since based on this top you only receive merits from three users. Congratulations for the good work. I will add this curiosity to the post.

I'll also get the merit.all.txt dump from LoyceV to fill any of the missing merits data (I know there are a few from the numerous downtimes over the years). As far as I know, merit.all.txt is complete. Every week, I replace the last 113 days by the new 120 day data. That means that the rare "undo" actions theymos did on Merit are also processed correctly.

I actually forgot I already had the data and an endpoint ready in the ninjastic.space API. https://api.ninjastic.space/merits?board=28&child_boards=1 (Italian & child boards) {

}And I created a new endpoint: https://api.ninjastic.space/merits/users?board=28&child_boards=1Which returns the top 1000 instances of X to Y: {

I can update it monthly
Both your proposal look good to me! I guess a few interesting analysis will be enabled by this new dataset.
