There are some factors that we can think of:
- New year event
- Merit sources have been refilled.
At least, we have seen actual increases of weekly merits. It's positive and I expect to see the phenomenon keep rising.

What does it means, guys?

Code:

. di (6194-4521)/4521*100
37.005087

It means that on the last week - 2019w51 - the forum community sent 1673 more merits than they usually did in previous weeks (at 4521, the weekly median). In percentage, there is about 37 % increase compares to median of weekly merits, took at 2019w46 (6 weeks ago).

In terms of rank for intra-week merits, the last week ranked at 16^th position, that is not impressive.

As predicted, people, including merit sources, gave away more sMerits again when their sMerits refilled after 30 days but the 37% increase is quite impressive, in my opinion, compared to the median of weekly merits 6 weeks ago, and compared to the percentage of increases in monthly sMerits for each merit sources.

However, the 37% increases include all users in the forum, not only restricted to merit sources; and the increases likely come from at least two sides:

Merit sources' activities
Normal users who have more actively used their sMerits with the Christmas and New year event.

Compare to 4521 (the median of weekly merits on 2019w46 - 5 weeks ago), the percentage of last week merits increases 14.7%.
The last week ranked at 26^th position over 99 weeks.

Total distributed merits: 5186 (see)
Median of weekly merits before the 2019w46 (when theymos began to dump massive merits): 4521

What does it means, guys?

Code:

. di (5186-4521)/4521*100
14.709135

It means that on the last week - 2019w50 - the forum community sent 665 more merits than they usually did in previous weeks (at 4521, the weekly median). In percentage, there is about 14.7 % increase compares to median of weekly merits, took at 2019w46 (5 weeks ago).

In terms of rank for intra-week merits, the last week ranked at 26^th position, that is not impressive.

It seems that we saw the effects from merit sources again when their sMerits refilled after 30 days but the 14.7% increase is not impressive, in my opinion, compared to the median of weekly merits 5 weeks ago, and compared to the percentage of increases in monthly sMerits for each merit sources.

I predict that there will be more increases for 2019w51 (with the coming Friday-data dump), when more sMerits refilled and effects from the Christmas and New year!

I think we need to wait at least until next Friday to get a proper reading of this. Merit Source redistribution and reassignment took place on the 14/11/2019 (perhaps a day before, but I captured my screen shot on the referenced date). 30 days later is when the Merit allowances get replenished (same rate as date-30 days sMerit expenditure), so that process is taking place now, and last week’s reading (as of Friday 13/12/2019) caught the allowances at the end of their cycle, without the replenishing effect taking place yet.

Additionally, the coming xMas period may have some effect either way in the coming weeks (more time available or less time depending on how each one deals with out of routine time).

I stand with Ukraine!

Merit sources probably overused their smerits within the art contest so they have to wait for their next sMerit allocations. 30 days to refresh for amount of sMerits they sent. I expect they will become reactively give sMerits away next one or two weeks.

Normal users probably have faced nearly same problems, and they have to earn new merits to have newly free sMerits.

Next one month, we might have a better overview on growths of those 28 users (who earned hundreds of merits within the Art contest and jumped to the top recently merited users)

I am going to give you the update next three weeks.

I am really surprised about this pull to the long term average.
I thought one of the most relevant effect of the new sources were the reallocation from inactive to active merit sources.

I timely depleted my allowance, maybe others with bigger ones actually struggled a little bit. I don’t know.

I believe that that is a solid proof of the disappearance of Art contest's effects (after 4 weeks). One of two purposes for the thread has been demonstrated.

The last purpose is observe the effects from reallocation of 30-days sMerits to merit sources. I am going to keep observing it next one month.

ABSTRACT

It seems the effects from the Art contest has dramatically cooled down.
Total merits distributed on 2019w48 is 5907.
Compare to 4521 (the median of weekly merits on 2019w46 - 3 weeks ago), the percentage of last week merits increases only 30.7%.
Good news is it seems the re-allocation of sMerits for merit sources still shown good effects.

Total distributed merits: 5907 (see)
theymos' effects: only 12 merits sent by him last week, none of them relates to the Art Contest, Art badge vote.
Median of weekly merits before the 2019w46 (when theymos began to dump massive merits): 4521

A raw caculation from merits (with all possible effects from Art contest - new merit sources, newly increased sMerits allocation, and the others), but this week, I don't exclude theymos' sent-merits, then we have:

Code:

. di 5907-4521
1386

. di (5907-4521)/4521*100
30.656934

What does it means, guys?

It means that on the last week - 2019w48 - the forum community sent 1386 more merits than they usually did in previous weeks (at 4521, the weekly median). In percentage, there is about 30.7% increase compares to median of weekly merits, took at 2019w46 (3 weeks ago).

The figure of 5907 does not satisfy my definition of outliers. It's very normal, in my opinion.

Quote from: tranthidung on December 08, 2019, 10:44:07 PM

It means that potential outliers are weeks that have intra-week merits beyond 2477 or 6857.

In terms of rank for intra-week merits, the last week ranked at 17^th position, that is not impressive.

I believe that there is a real cool down but there are some other reasons: such as merit sources overused their sMerits in the Art-related threads and now have still waited their sMerits to be filled again, whilst normal users have to earn new merits themselves in order to have more sMerits to give away.

Let's wait for next one or two weeks to see how the increasing effects maintain (about 30% higher than 4521) or tail off.

Update: (on 2019w47)
* I made incorrect stats earlier today but fixed.

ABSTRACT

It seems the effects from the Art contest has gradually cooled down.
Compare to 4521 (the median of weekly merits on 2019w46), the percentages of last week merits (after excluding merits distributed by theymos) is 106.7%, while the figure two weeks ago is 291.5%.
Good news is it seems the re-allocation of sMerits for merit sources still shown good effects.

Total distributed merits: 17685 (see)
Total merits sent by theymos: 8341 (= 9413-1072, see)
Median of weekly merits before the 2019w46 (when theymos began to dump massive merits): 4521

A raw caculation from merits (with all possible effects from Art contest - excludes theymos' sent-merits, new merit sources, newly increased sMerits allocation, and the others), we have:

Code:

. di 17685-8341
9344

What does it means, guys?

It means that the forum community were extremely active last week in the way they use their merits. They sent 9344 merits more than they usually did in previous weeks (at 4521, the weekly median).

I believe that the effects from the Art Contest cooled down within the last week (2019w47), even total's theymos dumped merits concentrated in the last week (8341/9413 ~ 88.6% - only in the 10th Art contest thread).

After excluding theymos' effects, the total merits in the last week from community is 106.7% higher than previous median of weekly merits at 4521 (on the 2019w45, see).

Code:

. di (9344-4521)/4521*100
106.67994

The figure is nearly half of the last week's figure at 291.5%.

Thank you @fillippone for the link and @tranthidung for stats. Damn, I knew that merit distribution on initial week in 2018 was huge, but I didn't expected such crazy numbers. Previous week is so far away from it, but 14251 is still amazing numbers.

Thanks @fillippone for the link to the answer but I want to add more details.

The last week is ranked at the third position in descending orders of top weeks in total weekly merits.

  3. | 3 14251 2019w46 |

The figure of the last week is more impressive if you know that the figure of 2018w4 is not for a fully complete week. It is for only five days of 2018w4. See below.

And if we subtract the merits distributed on 24jan2018 (13018), the first day, we will do see the 2019w46 (last week) nearly hits the second position.

I'm not very good at stats analysis, so I would like to ask - how Merit distribution last week looks compared with first weeks after realease of Merit system (January 2018)? Because I can't remember when I saw such big number of merits distributed just in one week and I suppose these numbers are close (or even bigger) to most active weeks when merit system just been released.

I think I this thread, and this post in particular, should answer all your doubt:

I also hope that all merit sources will maintain their strict rules when giving merits away. The forum does not need a new-era shitposters who will destroy what merit system and our community built up well so far.

I think this is the challenge for the new MS (myself included).

What we saw in this round is a massive reallocation from "inactive MS" to new "active" MS.
Even if MS number was reduced and also global sMerit allowance was marginally inflated, overall, I do expect merits circulation will increase a lot.
theymos made now clear that wants all the merit allowance to be depleted, and I think the future "rebalance" of sMerits allowance will consider the amount of sMerits spent.

This pose a challenge for merit source, deplete their sMerit source monthly allowance (that should be the easy part) without promoting shitposting, or below par contributions (this is going to be the hard part).
Attaining this double objective will allow each individual MS to increase her sMerit allowance in a future revision by theymos (who made clear that some sort of adjustment will be done in the future considering the sMerits sent in the recent months), and at the same time do what a good MS should do: trying to promote good posting on the forum.

It's an event, so what do we expect? And yeah right, some of those entries doesn't really deserve Merits if you ask me but still let's just consider this as part of the event, besides its only a matter of time when this issues might stop. Maybe tomorrow or the next day, the distribution of Merits will become normal again.

No, you misunderstood my opinion. What I mentioned is I hope merit sources will maintain their strict rules as same as before their reallocation of monthly merits.

For the Art contest, yes, it is for fun, and I am fine with it. There is nothing wrong when you send 20 or 50 merits to the arts you like (even if you do it today). I knew there are some shady behavious and ones took advantage of the contest to do what they waited for around two years since merit sytem began. As I said, I am fine with it and just let it be what it be. Then, when the Art contest effects cool down, they will be stucked again (if they have not yet promoted to Legendaries).

As TMAN wrote, they will do stupid things again. Like what we saw when the enhanced merit system activated in September of 2018.
They nearly got mad in the first week since the changes came.
See details here (and you can see spikes in the time-series plot).

As for myself, there are some entries that I have missed, but I'm well focused on giving out Merits only to my fellow countrymen unless there are really quite good enough just like the works of ADAMA and dannybrown. Truly Fanstastic.

Let's just wait until the end of this week, then the next will be on Christmas, expect that to happen. So many bastards will get to it.

All sources had their source Merit adjusted and thus reset to the full amount. I'm aiming to empty mine in 30 days, so long term I expect my monthly distribution to increase by about 400 now.

It makes sense, with each 175% increase of each source's merit allocation, in the long run, merit distribution weekly will do increase as well.

Let's look at the past week, what happened?

After excluding theymos' effects, we have 291% increase compares to the median of weekly merits (before 2019w46) at 4521.

Code:

. di (14251-1071)/4521*100
291.52842

As being said, after the bias-effects from theymos and the Art contest cool down, I expect the figure will be somewhere closely to the increases of merit allocation for each source (compares to 4521).

Nevertheless, I have a big curious question for myself:
Will luckily ranked-up users with generous supports from the Art contest perform well in coming months?
From my observations, most of them stucked for months (with very very little earned merits - that somehow represents their post quality and contributions) and I believe their post quality will probably not change too much in coming months.

I also hope that all merit sources will maintain their strict rules when giving merits away. The forum does not need a new-era shitposters who will destroy what merit system and our community built up well so far.

I asked for help from you and @DdmrDdmr here. If you are interested in this one, please give us stats. Cheesy

Farewell o_e_l_e_o

Note:
I am going to keep update the thread in next 2 months to see which sort of changes of merit distributions from merit sources (especially when bias-effects from the Art contest cool down - after the vote, after congratulations.

ABSTRACT

The forum users distributed 8659 merits more what they usually did in most of half previous weeks at 4521 (the median of weekly merits).
There is nearly 292% increase in the total merits last week, compares to median of weekly merits (before 2019w46) at 4521.

We all know that theymos sent thousands of merits in his merit sprees.

From my discussion with @fillippone, I ask myself that are there any significant effects from increased reallocation of merits to merit sources?

In my Merit source observations, you can see despite of decrease in total merit sources (from 130 to 90 then increased to 98), the total merits per 30 days rose (from 20895 to 21671).

I scrap data from total merits theymos sent in the last week (only last week) in the 10^th anniversary Art contest.

He sent 9413 merits in total, from 18/11/2019 to 22/11/2019, forum time; but I stop counting his sent merits after November 22, 2019, 09:37:48 PM (when he locked that thread).

Code:

   +--------------------------------+

Those days fit well in the period of the last week, 2019w46, that has 14251 merits distributed in total (see in the 3^rd in column of weeklyrank.

The 2019w46 is from 12/11/ to 18/11/2019,, in GMT time (not forum time). So there is a little lag (hours) between two datasets. However, I don't think there are significant difference (hope that I am not wrong). See

To sum up:

In 2019w46

Total distributed merits: 14251
Total merits sent by theymos: 1071
Median of weekly merits before the last week: 4521

A raw caculation from merits (with all possible effects from Art contest - excludes theymos' sent-merits, new merit sources, newly increased sMerits allocation, and the others), we have:

Code:

. di 14251-1071-4521
8659

Unbelievable!

It means that the forum community were extremely active last week in the way they use their merits. They sent 8659 merits more than they usually did in previous weeks (at 4521, the weekly median).
