Hi rikafip, the number of Indonesian local board post recorded on the merit dashboard is less than that recorded on ninjastic.space. I would like to know which one is more accurate to display on the chart ?
If the data in the merit dashboard is more accurate than ninjastic.space then I'll update my thread with data that might appear to be in sync with your thread.
I had the same dilemma few months ago when I started using ninjastic space and I also noticed the difference in numbers compared to merit dashboard. Thing with ninjastic.space (that I didn't know but Ddmr Ddmr explained it to me) is that is also counting all those posts that were for some reason deleted from the board, and that's why number is usually inflated compared to numbers found in merit dashboard. For example, if you had some spammer who wrote 20 posts in Indonesian board during March, and his account got nuked and all posts deleted, his posts will still be counted even though they are not there anymore.

With that being said, numbers on merit dashboard can also be wrong in case that mod deletes/moves threads around, but I decided to stick to merit dashboard numbers in the end as it doesn't seem right to count spam posts that have been deleted for days or even weeks.
Thanks rikafip, although we can still find deleted post but it doesn't seem good to count deleted post to show in the chart. I will probably update the chart in my thread soon. I also decided to use the merit dashboard to get the monthly local Indonesian board posting from now.
