NSFN stands for "not safe for newbies". If you're a newbie looking to earn your first merit this topic may elevate your blood pressure.
This thread is no longer regularly updated. Shows data as of June 15, 2019.
According to merit stats we have sent ~20 thousand merits in 30 days between mid-May and mid-June.
According to ban and nuke stats over the last 9 months on average ~79 thousand merits per month* are being "destroyed" due to permanent bans (see details below).
Some other data to put this into perspective:
tl;dr: many more high-rank accounts are being banned than new ones being "created".
It's quote obvious where this is going. We will have all merited users banned eventually and only zero-merit users will be roaming the post-apocalyptic ruins of Bitcointalk.
This is the data for ~9 months:
39319 permanent bans (including nukes):
18809 Newbie 0.01 average merits
12931 Brand new (nukes I'm assuming)
1577 Jr. Member 2.1 average merits
2712 Member 11.7 average merits
1759 Full Member 103 average merits
796 Sr. Member 256 average merits
335 Hero Member 524 average merits
293 Copper Member
107 Legendary 1014 average merits
710220 merits destroyed:
32610 earned merits
18 average merits per ban
1224 single-merit users banned
See month-to-month trends below. Each datapoint is taken around the 15th of the month, so for example May 2019 represents data from mid-April to mid-May. Click the charts for a higher resolution image.
* modlog doesn't have timestamps but I've been scraping it since September 22, 2018 and it seems to go back for another week so I have data since September 15, which is about nine months as of this last edit. This does not account for users that may have been unbanned but I would expect that number to be negligible.
