Bitcoin Forum

I decided to make this list today because I was interested to see how many posts and threads the most active users of Bitcointalk have had deleted.
In my calculations I used the information from bpip.org: Most Active Profiles > https://bpip.org/report.aspx?r=mostactivity
I took into account both deleted posts and deleted threads.
For example: If a user had 1 post and 2 threads deleted his # OF DELETED POSTS/THREADS would be 3.
Inactive users were not considered in this calculation.
Only the 100 Most Active Profiles were considered for this purpose.

Obviously the Most Active Profiles are all Legendary members but the list also has Staff Members, a Donator and a Global Moderator.
This serves as a remainder that even the best and most active members can have their posts deleted.
I found many members without a single deleted post/thread and hats off to them for that achievement!

There is something fishy with mprep's and -ck's numbers. Could it be that some moderator actions (moving a thread?) counts as a delete on BPIP?

Yes, I also noticed that I had a lot of topics deleted on BPIP. But when a mod moves a topic by leaving a redirection, he becomes the owner of this kind of topic (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5109399.0).
By deleting these topics, we increase our count of deleted topics on BPIP. Now I move them into the trashcan.

@suchmoon I thought about that as well when I saw their numbers. But, mprep only moved 18 threads? I am pretty sure that number is much higher.
The way Halab explained it could be the reason why they have such a high amount of deleted threads/posts. Based on that, this BTU PROTOCOL thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5109399.0) is now Halab's thread. If sometimes in the future that threads gets deleted Halab's count would increase +1. He now has 36 topics removed, so deleting the mentioned thread would make that 37.

Would be good if we could get some feedback from theymos, Cyrus or some additional mod if that is actually how it works.

I just deleted  the redirection on BTU Protocol and I now have 37 topics deleted on BPIP.

Modlog : Remove topic: MOVED: BTU PROTOCOL in topic #5109399 by member #1053119

I'm not sure that those figures are accurate. I'm not in the deletions ranking, and I think I have complained publicly about more than 4 deletions. Maybe it is just that I'm not active enough.

[OPINION] - about the Theymos rankings - what a load of grovellers we have here. :)
but then Theymos has made some great posts that helped members, and some of them have even been replies to my comments and questions.

Might be it was deleted at that time when theymos was not Moderator/Administrator of this forum.

Unlikely. BPIP doesn't have complete records, it started scraping modlog at a later stage.

One thing I would love to understand is, if a thread you replied in is deleted, does your reply as count as deleted?

@logfiles no your reply doesn't count as a deleted post in that case. If the whole thread is deleted you don't get any notifications about your deleted post either. You just notice a lower post count in case you pay attention to that.

No.

What about topics you have (yourself) moved to other boards, do they count towards deleted/removed threads?

I currently have "1 topics removed" according to bpip, but I don't remember mods ever trashing any of my topics.

Damn, did not expect myself to rank so high on the list. Honestly, I'm not sure as to why I have so many deleted posts. I've deleted a number of redirection notices (I've tested deleting my own topic just now and it does create an entry in the modlog) when moving back threads that I mistakenly moved to the trashcan. Not sure about the replies though - deleted an older bump on one of my threads and it doesn't seem to count. Maybe it's from the time before I became a global mod since I'd report my old Auction thread bumps for them to get cleaned up. Not sure if Vod's modlog data extends that far though.

AFAIK it only counts if it generates an entry to the modlog. Thread trashing and moving doesn't count. From what I've observed, the thread has to be removed (not just moved to the trash) to generate a modlog entry.

I should have stated that I only checked the Top 100 users of the Most Active Profiles list and you are not in the Top 100.
I will edit my first post to highlight this better. 

Maybe Vod has to add a new list sorted by number of deleted posts. I was thinking, doing this manually and make a week reports but I have no time for this now.
