Since you brought it up, Sandra hasn't made 120 posts in the whole year, but there are members that write 150+ in a month.

Pmalek and JayJuanGee, let me show you the rankings post for this month for both of you. But I'm sure nothing beats ChartBuddy.

Code:

1. ChartBuddy [680]
---
22. Pmalek [260]

65. JayJuanGee [156]

I have too many posts..

I don't think so, you're still behind another 64 users per September 29, so I guess there's a lot of users who already have 250+ by now. Lol
I just have 104 posts (including this one) and am at rank 300. They all have a lot of posts, awesome especially those who are able to maintain the quality.

Even though there is some validity in short-term numbers, I had been also thinking about longer term numbers too.. total number of posts for my whole forum history, which would be posts per day over a longer term period.

Of course, trends for number of posts per day would likely change over time.

On a personal level I think that my number of posts per day have been increasing overall, but also my time spent on the forum has been additionally incentivized to go higher time spent since when theymos assigned me as a merit source, and then over time his having had increased the number of source merits that I was given to spend.. Overall is it considered a gift or not to receive so many source merits to spend? One will wonder.. .. I am not sure if I am complaining or not because some member might consider my description of being lured into spending more time on the forum as a "first world problem" (meaning not really a serious problem.. or a problem that other members would not mind having)..

I do recall a couple of months ago comparing my overall posts per day to Philip's and his was something like 11 per day and mine was something like 8 per day.

Chart buddy is around 24 per day.. even though CB did take a break for a few years while his handler (Richy T) was on strike from the forum and had decided to take his marbles and go away.. hahahahahaha.. but then he decided to come back, so gotta give Richy T some credit for coming back even though some of us did kind of tease him (or would it be harass him) for the (Big blocker nonsense and supposed censorship baloney) reasons for his having had left (took a break) from the forum in the first place.

Don't get me wrong.. I still like Richy T (and his CB companion - who is likely more neutral on these issues) in spite of his BIG blocker history, and surely some of the guys who are inclined towards shitcoins and shitcoin talking points are not necessarily going to concede all of the arguments, even if they might concede on some points.. .. and for sure it is better that we do not always agree on all points, and sometimes some of the old battles can reemerge and start to rear their ugly heads, because issues will sometimes reemerge but then also there can be differences of opinion regarding what caused the issue in the first place and perhaps even what might be the solution.. and whether something might be wrong with some bitcoin code divergences or sometimes there are differences of opinion regarding bitcoin governance matters.

But I'm sure nothing beats ChartBuddy.

You can't tell me that guy doesn't use some bot to post those charts about bitcoin price every 1 hour in the wall observer thread, surely he will be number one, the reason why post quantity with no quality is useless.

In the wall observer thread, almost everyone wants CB... Sure there are a few members who complain about CB, but overall CB is a preferred feature of the WO thread, and maybe even special to the whole bitcoin space.. and gotta thank Richy T for that for sure.. because even when Richy T was gone from the forum for more than 3 years or whatever it was, there were several times in which several members had wished for CB to come back or for another forum member to program such a bot such as ChartBuddy 2.0 or to name it something else, but no one did it... even when Richy T came back, he was pretty damned reluctant to reactivate CB, until several of us harassed him to near death to reactivate it... (o..k. .I might be exaggerating a wee bit.. but whatever)...

But the difference is that newbies do not know what old ranked members know, but when he began to read more than post, studying the establish members, his discussion would start to be similar with those of old ranked members and he will rank up.

I doubt that anyone ranks up merely because they end up agreeing with the older members, but it is quite likely that after spending quite a bit of time on the forum (or even in bitcoin) there is a lot of learning that goes on, including even better abilities to express arguments and presentations.. and like you said earlier in your post, there is a kind of learning that comes from the back and forth battling, even when you perceive it to be something like a 2 on 1 ganging up. and there are two members agreeing on one side and you are presenting opposing arguments, and after a while you realize either they were right or you have to come up with better arguments and/or better evidence in order to overcome some of the points that they had been makings..

....so you are not necessarily always going to lose against the more senior members, but sometimes, they are already going to have seen your various arguments, so in in order to convince them to move off of some of their conclusions, then you have to better account for both what you are saying and what they are saying and to see if there might be some room to make progress... and hopefully both sides will learn in the process. Does not always happen, but hopefully all sides (even the audience) is learning in the process (to the extent anyone else might be reading the back and forth arguments?).
