Title: Activity
Post by: willpv2 on July 16, 2014, 05:33:17 AM
How exactly is activity calculated? I saw "activity = min(time * 14, posts)" but I'm a bit confused, it's been a while. can someone dumb the formula down for me more please?

The original info:
Quote
time = number of two-week periods in which you've posted since your registration
activity = min(time * 14, posts)

I don't know how much further you can dumb it down... Anyway, count the number of 2-week periods since your registration during which you have posted on the forum. Multiply that number by 14. Remember this value. Now, look at your post count. Determine which of the two values is lower. This is your activity score.

The simplest explanation:

You can only get a max of 14 points every two week period. The next two week period starts on next Tuesday and then you can get another 14 points.

Did you even use search before you opened that topic ? I have seen at least 10 topic in last 3 days about the same question- Activity. Is it really that hard to put that word in search?

You can check the thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=495948.0.
It should help you understand the activity formula. :)

The sticky should really be updated with an explanation for newbies on how activity works. I found the formula tricky when I first joined.
