Yes, information here could be theoretically correct.

This quote is alarming. It's like when data scientist (zentdex) is telling to CEO(theymos) that something goes terribly wrong.

Just a clarification, I am not telling that there are something wrong about it. It could maybe go according to their plan.

I believe the price of bitcoin itself is the only contributing factor to new accounts, especially because most newbies don't know about or understand the merit system. When you compare the peak dates on the merit implementation chart, they align rather well to bitcoin price spikes.

Good observation, I have draft to do your observation and I see some probability.
I better study and create something like that.

I think we need more Merit Sources, trustful ones (maybe the own mods) to encourage good posters to keep going. This is kind of unfair to make a real effort and can't rank up due to the lack of merits, either in your local board or in the English one.

Yes I think we need more merit source and more merit giver...

Frankly, the work done with all these graphics is just amazing.
For me, it just lacks a graph with the places of the forum where merits are most given.
Let me explain, there is some local (where people speak little or bad English, like me), where the merits have all been given for over a month already and where it becomes difficult to win again .

I forgot to include those; Actually, I have done it before in Where the Merit Pours?

Good thing exist because of bad things.

I agree with that notion.

so perhaps Theymos is hoping that merit starvation will help to improve the quality of posting.

Maybe, no one knows what are the other plans of theymos in this merit system

I am happy to see that newbies are also getting good number of merits. They need it the most. If I have to choose one post with equal weightage to merit, I will give it to newbie over an old member.

Regarding the merits for staffs, that figure appears very low. Does it include the merits they got on official thread like one related to merit system itself ?

I try to check the figure but, yes those are right. However, merits on the first three days were excluded.

Yes, it could be a factor.
