The visualization could have been better, for sure, but it's certainly not bad. Which software did you use for the visualization??
Agreed, appreciate the constructive criticism, I was hoping nobody would notice that! I usually spend more time on the "formatting" of these charts; colors, titles, axis, labels, etc, but I wasn't feeling the energy to do this as there are quite a few. I also find it easier to format charts based on trust for example, as I can use obvious color schemes to represent positive, negative and neutral for example. It was LibreOffice (open source Office), the charts are more of less based on the defaults with minor adjustments to the axis. In hindsight, It could all looked less like being from the naughties by having color transparency at a minimum of 50% for example.
Hence the following accurate interpretation, because Office spreadsheet defaults haven't changed much since Windows 2000
The OP here made me chuckle a little, because it's like taking a time machine back 20+ years to when I took introductory statistics in college. I remember making charts just like these for homework, though that's just about all I remember from that course (lol).
As for the pm,I want to think that you just wanted to spread positivity and curb enthusiasm, but a lot of people on this forum hate receiving pms like this, so be on the lookout next time onwards. Also,thank you for spending your time and creating these charts.
Spread something I believe is positive yes, but also deal with any potential controversy from anyone efficiently and effectively, instead of having participants stumble across this thread over the course of days and weeks and having issues with it. I prefer to get any issues out the way in one go as it were, rather than tediously spread out over a longer time period. I otherwise expected more people to have an issue with the data than there were (or are so far), so instead underestimated that how most people would find this to be positive, rather than have issues with it for x, y and z.
I otherwise agree, I'll be on the lookout next time, but in the context of any bcc based "mass" messaging, there won't be a next time from me. I've certainly
learnt my lesson that while the majority may be fine (or even appreciate) a PM about a topic like this, there will always be a minority who don't appreciate it which could cause serious issues. I think Lauda put it best;
Meh, I don't think anyone is going to report you for sending statistic about chipmixer's signature participants to chipmixer's signature participants.
Would not surprise me if somebody who dislikes OP reports it, this is why it is better to be careful what you send and to who.
Even if I agree with
LFC that in this case, if someone reported the PM - I think they're a bit of dick to be honest.
TL:DR: I really appreciate your constructive criticisms and compliments, hence the length reply
