I prefer to exclude politics and society (& games and rounds) and keep counting the other boards including off-topic (i think it is already heavily monitored so it shouldn't be a problem comparing to the previous months.)
Btw maybe a poll isn't a bad idea?

Why would we exclude Politics & society ? There's some interesting discussions that take place there. Most of them are well argumented and the posts there are qualitative.

You have a very low bar set to qualify for "well argumented" sic.

Politics and Society is a cesspool for serial POV pushers.
Currently a "legendary" member, who I have never seen post anything remotely on the subject of Bitcoin, has eight dubiously sourced and spun POV threads on the first page, sixteen on the first two pages.

Take a look thru the threads, the same names time and again pushing the same agendas.
If Theymos is happy to have his forum used as a stage for this continual propaganda, that's up to him.
If people want to talk round and round in ill informed circles on complex subjects they barely understand, that's fine too, but why should they collect activity rating for doing that on a Bitcoin forum when their activity has nothing to do with Bitcoin?

The names given as activity increases, 'Senior' 'Hero' 'Legendary' imply some meritorous aspect to it. How is endlessly creating threads and posting in off core topic threads in any way meritorious?
What is the point of any activity rating if it doesn't refer to the core reason for this forum, Bitcoin?
