The true telling point with be the amounts awarded. I think such a tool to analyse this very important (to those who want to level up ) would be of top priority.

I would love to know which boards have the most merit action also.

You have the data, get to work and let us know.

What no offer of help?

You could get some additional merit for such a useful tool.

@LoyceV

thank you very much for this

Meta - 247262 Posts - 2418 merit

Alt discussion board - 2564018 Posts - 192 merit

Bitcoin discussion board - 2038120 Posts - 1263 merit

These are quite interesting and confirm that meta although generally receiving 10x less traffic than the alt discussion board (where most new people are posting) still gets nearly 13x more merit activity. So that is quite alarming if you are going on a post to probability of merit ratio alone. 130x more likely to get merit for a post in meta- - Is that even vaguely correct?? Math is not my best thing actually so no shame in asking for assistance and confirmation.

Even bitcoins main forum that is far more moderated to raise the level of post quality.. is at 10x more posts and 2x less merit. So the ration there is better than the alt board but king of the hill by far and where you want be posting is meta, and you want to be in the top 50.

So in the most obscure board (for most) and be already one of the highest merit profiles is the quickest way to more merit it would seem.

However yes, if everyone was as helpfull as loyceV then perhaps they should be entitled to high merit.

I had suspected merit was introduced to enable only valid posters to level up so have often ignored very good posts from legends since I could not see any benefit to them to have extra when I could give lower level members that were trying hard a chance to level up.
