This goes beyond feeding the troll, this is like climbing into a lion's den at the zoo and trying to pet him. You know you're gonna get mutilated no matter what, right? Grin

Thanks

can you share the way you collected and organized the data?

Start reading at LoyceV's Merit data analysis (full data since Jan. 24, 2018; not just 120 days), from there it's a small step to isolate the Top 200.

Theymos has actually said there is no harm in discussing new techniques and ideas to implement. I mean this is meta right?

Create your own thread. You keep going off-topic in mine Sad

Or even better: post it in one of the existing threads about forum improvements.

Who's alt are you? I don't believe a new user joins Bitcointalk just to discuss Merit in Meta.

I think someone is still hungry, can you create the same statistics for Meta? How many merits top 200/500 merit receivers have received in Meta Roll Eyes

If I can find the time, I'll do it. And because it requires scraping tens of thousands of posts, I'll do it for many more boards too once I start.

I think it will be more effective if we can have a % value.

Sure, see next posts. It's quite slow to process, this wasn't meant to be something I'll use more often Tongue

I'll sort them, starting with the biggest percentage reduction. If anything interesting comes out of this, I expect it to be at either the top (circle jerking club) or the bottom (merit sales and alt-accounts) of the list.

Thanks for posting the top 50 exclusion list. That's the first time I have got ahead of TMAN in a long time.

Great! That's the kind of statistics abuse I was looking for Cheesy

Do I dare ask if anyone's interested in seeing the same thing for the Top 200 Merit Senders instead of Receivers? So: "Top 200 Merit Receivers without Merit from the Top 200 Merit Senders"?
