Weird, must be a thread (not one I've created) that has been deleted, since I've only had 2 posts and 2 threads removed from Bitcointalk in total.
I think I know which posts of mine have been removed and they hadn't received any merit.

Too bad Waybackmachine doesn't have those posts archived. Oh well...

Edit:

Almost forgot to say thank you!

I've been holding off, but my curiosity got the best of me. I'm not expecting particularly good numbers here, especially compared to some of the forum's power users Tongue

~~When I created this thread 2 months ago, I had received 2 Merit on deleted posts. Now it's 16! I didn't find yet how that happened.~~

Update:
Something must have gone wrong scraping data, no more posts were deleted. This is my real data:

User LoyceV (full history)

Received a total of 1343 Merit up to last Friday.
Received 89 Merit (6.62%) for 9 (0.26%) of 3404 posts created before the introduction of Merit (0.0261 Merit per old post).

Received 2 Merit (0.14%) for posts that are now deleted.

My scraper now outputs the deleted posts:

That statistics makes me to think that old posts/topics aren't popular or usually guests visit them from google and other search engines.

I know some users like to read old posts, because the forum was in a much better state without all the current spam.

Merits received before introduction it means that your post is old but gold. It's good you took satoshi's example too but I think he is merited because of his name, theymos - for being admin and also a lot of people tested merit on his merit introduction topic.

If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire

If you can only find 3 merit worthy posts in a month, then you shouldn't be a merit source in my opinion. I often find more than 3 in a day, but I can still end the day with a few source merits available for the next day's reading. I try to keep my personal sMerits for rewarding Fit to Talk projects that are moved into Bitcoin Talk, but this has been a bit slow recently, so I've got a total approaching 200 sMeits waiting for some good political translation posts.

Also, I think it would be a bit excessive to give a brand new member 50 points for his first post. I would rather give one or two points each to 25-50 new members to encourage them.

It would be interesting to see a ranking of users who received no more than 2 merits from other users and no more than 10 merits for a given post. That is, users who are constantly receiving merits for common posts. Which are neither extraordinary nor outlier, but still produce content interesting enough to receive some merits.

That would be an interesting list indeed, but I'm not going to make it. Feel free to use Full Merit history to make this list. It should be pretty straight forward to do, if needed I can add usernames to the list of userIDs.

I've slightly updated my script, it now counts how many individual posts received Merit:

User LoyceV (full history)

Received a total of 1135 Merit up to last Friday.
Received 88 Merit (7.75%) for 9 (0.26%) of 3404 posts created before the introduction of Merit (0.0258 Merit per old post).
Received 1045 Merit (92.07%) for 282 (10.45%) of 2696 posts created after the introduction of Merit (0.3876 Merit per new post).
Received 2 Merit (0.17%) for posts that are now deleted.

I've updated satoshi's en theymos' stats in the OP.

Source merits are a constant flow, and not a monthly update. They are replaced 30 days after being awarded. If they aren't awarded instantly, they aren't lost, it just means a slight delay in their replacement.

Looks like theymos didn't agree with your explanation, but with the @suchmoon Wink

Quote from: theymos on October 21, 2018, 09:28:55 AM

If they complain about amounts, tell them to complain to me. It's best if sources try to exhaust their source allocations, even if it means giving posts higher amounts than is typical. If you have 150 source merit and you only see 3 merit-worthy posts in a month, then I'd rather you over-give each of them 50 merit than let the merit expire. That way there are more people capable of sending merit, and the "merit economy" is less top-down.
