With recent focus on likes and likers and the quality of individual posters I’ve decided to create an occasional award for the Top Quality Posters on TFK in a defined period. (I also decided to do this because I like SQL).
What we’re creating here is an average score per post for users in the last 6 months.
Admins are excluded (to save face for me).
The formula for the point score is:
5 points for each reply to a post
15 points for each like on a post
5 points for each link to the post
2 points for every bookmark of that post
0.2 points for every time the post is read
0.05 points for the geometric mean of time spent reading the post
This gives a Total Point score for every post and that is divided by the number of posts to arrive at a quality score.
It’s quite interesting that two of the top twenty were on sabbatical for 3 of the past 6 months and a third banned for 4 of the past 6 months. A winning strategy would appear to be correlated to hardly ever posting or fucking off/being fucked out.
Don’t know about that but there’ll be a (formerly) portly Wexican very disappointed this evening. He’s been bragging offline about garnering 60 likes today alone. And he’s not even on the list.
hard to argue with these stats as you would have to understand them for a start.
i have often been portrayed as a single issue candidate, dismissed as a lonely voice in the wilderness, pigeon holed as a niche poster with a grudge against the lifeboat community. however i would urge those who have castigated me to look at these scores and tell me that tapping into the undercurrent of popular anti-rnli sentiment doesnt pay rich rich dividends in geometric mean time and quality score.
Later today I will be breaking some extremely disturbing news to the TFK community regarding the identity of TFK’s chief rnli apologist @Dav1. the ‘concerned member of joe public’ act is going to be exposed for the despicable falsehood that it is.
The way to the top here is to post in the Fathers Thread about a new arrival accompanied by a really long post about how the RNLI tried to steal the infant.
