Posts per day Top 10

ixoy · 08-01-2004 12:19pm #1

There already exists a Top 10 for number of posts but how about a Top 10 based on a user's posts per day? It'll show those who are dedicated to the Boards cause rather than just showing who happens to be on top based burely on having been posting for years. It'll give new folk a chance to shine in ultra-nerdy glory too....

And let those who join and post twenty posts in a day for weeks shine in all their ultra muppetty glory too.

ixoy · 08-01-2004 12:29pm

Well then let only those who've been joined for say more than four months qualify. That way we should eliminate most spammers and make it difficult for those who joined to affect their average without going to ridiculous lengths...

Why? Won't someone tell me why?

ixoy · 08-01-2004 1:36pm

'Coz looking around, I reckon I should be in the Top 5 and I wanna in the Top 5 at something. What? Don't look at me like that. Almost to 1000...

It'll only cause muppets to be posting all types of **** just to make the top 10 that day.

You are not your postcount

That just about sums it up

Beruthiel · 08-01-2004 5:16pm

indeed
what would be the point anyways? Victor will always be at number one

It could be done with a weighting system whereby the longer you are a member the better you do?

Sarky · 08-01-2004 5:28pm

I recall an old board I once frequented that allowed users to rank other members, thus giving them some measure of respect according to what everyone else thought.

That could either work well or be horribly, horribly abused.

Rabies · 08-01-2004 5:53pm

that is the karma rating you are talkinga about. i think it might have been on this boards before, i don't know. it was mentioned a few times lately. it could be abused, people could give crap ratings here and there and that would lower a posters karma level.

Seconded! When did this happen on boards by the way, and for how long, and why was it brought back?

It's interesting to see how much you've posted and to know if another user is a newbie or not.

Only a small percentage of users lets it go to their heads.

woosaysdan · 09-01-2004 11:28am

this would only give spammers another reason to spam

The Boards.ie implementation only allowed mods to give karma points.

I got one unexpectedly off amp after I stated I was buying 3 games that year for their sheer brilliance.
Giants:Citizen Kabuto, Hostile Waters and Startopia.

As for the top 10 posts per day, Cloud/Regi/Devore/ecksor, would ye mind running the applicable query and posting the results to quell ioxy's curiosity.

Don't think there's any need for another stat thing, though a page of daily/weekly updated stats might be a nice feature
Server, DB, board, bandwidth, users etc., maybe user-customisable.
History for last 7 days/last week's results aswell?
vB3 feature?

ixoy · 09-01-2004 4:19pm

Well a weighted system would stop spammers. And yes - it's completely pointless but then so are many things. Ho hum. I'm a curious bugger... be interesting to see.
And I am my postcount and my khakis and my latté

Stark · 09-01-2004 4:43pm

Another board I post to has "top poster in last 30 days". That seems to give a pretty accurate view of who's most active currently.

I don't think so. It would just shift the balance of power to fat spammers.

tman · 09-01-2004 7:10pm

perhaps now would be a good time for me to do my "i'm in the top 50 posters" dance

and so i shall.

[pedant]Would it not be to within 19?[/pedant]

[pedant+1]19 is within 20, and 20 posts/page should get it to within 10, or is it 9?[/pedant]

==================================
But how would you filter out the "semi-automated replies" that are filling up the humour forum ?
It's got to the stage where I reckon some have macros to do thier replies ..

How about a separate count for that forum with an avarage post size statistic.. (would last about 20 minutes until they figured out what quote does...)

sionnach · 10-01-2004 6:09pm

this would just encourage ppl to reply to every post on teh humour board with "lol good 1"
