How is your constructive post count grade counted?
I checked last weeks stats, and I made 34 constructive posts, and I got a C- rating, while someone else made 23 constructive posts, and got a B rating.

It turns out the ratings are kinda arbitrary. I last week I spent a lot of time posting in "techincal discussion" helping others who were having trouble with bitcoin software (seemingly quite constructive behavior) and I got my lowest rating yet. Another week my rating went from A, down to D with a note that I had posted too often on a given day. After I explained to the folks that actually this had been over 2 days, they changed my rating back to B. I still can't really figure out what it's supposed to mean. So I just decided not to worry about the ratings anymore.
Posting in gambling section is encouraged, i remember you post a lot in gambling section in the week you got A and bonus. IMO those posts in techinical disscussion are constructive but not relevant to gamble or dice. Most of geeks may not be interested in dice and gamble, that's why the rate is lower.
Maybe sig campaign manager will explain the reason to you.

Currently, it is calculated based on constructiveness, consistency mainly, ,then number and boards (both less relevant).
tspacepilot got D initially, because he made 50% around 45 posts in 24 hours, which was noted as not consistent.
From this week, we might switch to all constructive grading system.

But, those who made 50% posts + in 1 o 2 days will be noted.
I am sure that the ratings are in no way arbitrary.

You might also want to take note that 50% 1-2 day posters might just be busy on other days. I think most of my posts are made within a 3 day span, as I am busy on the other days.
I think you should judge by quality alone, and not judge the 50% 1-2 day posters. Of course, if their posts are non-constructive, that is a different story.
