Let's take a look at some of the following data based on my research:
Data from ninjastic.space
- During 2019 "January 1 to December 31", I got data that 759 troll words have been mentioned on the meta board by 195 users.
- During 2020"January 1 to December 31", I got data that 486 troll words have been mentioned on the meta board by 155 users.
- During 2021"January 1 to September 11", I got data that 104 troll words have been mentioned on the meta board by 57 users.
Based on my finding above, have you really noticed that in less than 3 years the trolls on this forum have decreased significantly?
What would make the data clearer is if you came up with a "troll words per post" metric, as I suspect the number of total posts has perhaps decreased between 2109 and now. I would imagine there's a utility that has counted the total number of posts per year.
Funny how the stats portion of the forum crapped out in... what was it, 2017? never to return.
