(1) Potential outliers are days that have intraday total merits beyond 146 or 1138; (2) Median of intraday merits over the period is 619; (3) 50% of observed days have their intra-day merits range from 518 to 766 (the interquartile range); (4) Friday [in GTM time] is the day over weeks has lowest intraday merits in terms of both median and mean, at 548, and 612, respectively. (5) Monday [in GMT time] is the day over weeks has highest intraday merits in terms of both median and mean, at 662, and 744, respectively. (6) There are 23 potential outliers in total, and there is only one potential outlier day happened in early weeks of 2019, on 09 Jan. 2019, at 1161. (7) Minimum and maximum of intraday merits (full dataset) are 312 and 13018, on 11/2/2019 and 24/1/2018 respectively.
Intra-week merits: Notes: The part of the abstract use full dataset, only dropped last two days due to incomple week (2019w10).

The man at the top (Loycev) can be one of the best candidate if theymos want B&H section to be highly moderated.
You made great suggestion for LoyceV, who is the celebrity and most trusted in the forum despite of his trust point is not too high compared to others. I guess it is mainly because he has not managed many campaigns, and don't exchange directly with others. His wins in the ChipMixer campaign almost everyweek tell us everything.
Nevertheless, I doubt that LoyceV will take the task as forum moderators. He is likely have more interests in his own statistical analyses.
I had to wait more months till the day LoyceV decided to help me with weekly merit data dumps. From that day, merits started coming to me more regularly. Once again, thanks LoyceV for all your data dumps in my topic.

You get a Trust list supervote: - You must have at least 10 people directly trusting you each with an earned merit of at least 10, not including merit you yourself sent. These "votes" are limited. - You must have at least 2 people directly trusting you with an earned merit of at least 250, not including merit you yourself sent. These "votes" are limited. Besides your own benefit with 250 earned merits, mentioned by LoyceV above, I started the clubs for the two main objectives. You can get them in the OP: Objectives: (1) Giving them a round of applause for their consecutive contributions; (2) Giving other forum users their inspirational stories, from which they can learn from those honourable guys' merited posts/ topics.
To be honest, months ago, I felt like merits ruin my life. Then, I known I won't get anything if I keep dissapointed and have negative response with merit system. So, you know what? I tried to learn from the most merited users during those early days, like @Jet Cash (who was like a shooting star in the short period after merit system activated), @nullius (that I can not learn from him due to my limited experience in technical issues), @coinlocket$ and @DdmrDdmr (who I admired and learned the ways the contribute with statistical analyses), and others. That's one of main reasons why I started this one, and I believe it is helpful for newbies readily to improve themselves.

I can make much lighter time-series plots, rather than your bar charts. I will do it for you if you want. I made a time-series of my earned merits there Here is a time-series plot of my received merits, from 28/2/2018 to 19/2/2019 It looks like a random walk.

Congratulations, mikeywith! You made it, within four months, and you again demonstrated that merit system does not ruin any forum user. I added your story into my topic. However, for now I only added in the Senior Member stories, but I will move your story to Hero Member stories when you promoted, and if you won't get banned before that finish line. There are some guys got lots of merits, then got banned, perma banned, I don't know why. So, be careful, fella. Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users
Who usually comlained about merit system should look at those stories, and shut-off (sorry, it sounds arrogant a little bit), learn more, and improve themselves to promote over time.

The case of cryptovigi, demonstrates the fact that promoted users will got abundantly merits after each time they ranked up. Look at this, after promoted, cryptovigi got more than 20 merits in a few days. That is the same as what I experienced after promoted to a Full Member months ago.

Once again, for the OP, Whatever your decision, approach to do in order to get bitcoins, the first priority for you is: - Securing your devices (desktop computers, laptops, mobile devices) which you use to connect to your wallets, exchanges' account, etc. You can luckily and / or smartly to get 100, 1000, or even 10.000 bitcoins, but if your devices are not secured enough, you will lose them all someday. It's key in crypto, be safe first!
For security, I have a topic on this issue, but you should secure your devices with professional softwares, not free online ones. [Guide] Virustotal scan guideline to detect viruses, trojans, malwares, worms
Next priority, is to backup your bitcoin wallet for later use, in cases your devices broken, or any case worse. The step should be done simultaneously with backups of your exchanges' accounts, 2FA, and your emails as well. For this step, you can find them in the topic I gave in my previous thread.

For the OP newbie, Mining is one of the most stressful way to make money in crypto, especially in the bearish market or long period after crashes. You will get stucked with your devices, your electricity bills, with big minus point is unprofitable earnings from mining, from your rigs.
There are so many ways to earn bitcoins in crypto: - Mining. - Trading - Investing. - Bounty hunting - Services providing (such as signature / avatar/ OP designs, translations, etc.) Nevertheless, before choosing any of them, you should prepare yourself first with enough knowledge, and skills. I give you some comprehensive topics for your interests during your early days in crypto: [GUIDES] on Bitcointalk. Index thread (until there is a dedicated subforum?)I shown only one topic, but inside it, you can find almost everything you need.

Ooops. You made me shocked, OP. In fact, I known about your story days ago, when you got massive merits in-a-row and ranked up. Your case, once again, a very good example that merits come naturally to quality contributions (posts/ topics). Sometimes, they come sparsely, whilst sometimes they come abundantly and consecutively. I experienced it myself, too.
Before ranking up to a Full Member, I felt tired, extremely tired and almost gave up. After the day I ranked up, consecutive weeks later, merits come to me in-a-row, I earned around more than 120 merits since Dec. 2018. It's too fast. Recent weeks, it seems that I got stucked again, but I will keep contributing constructive, helpful things, and don't give up. Some day, I will cross the Senior Finish Line.
Congratulations, cryptovigi! And, your story has been added there: Inspirational stories from self-made promoted users

I known that total merit sources have not changed, but one guy applied to be a merit source in Polish board. [Polish section] Merit source applicationConsequently, those topics he/she mentioned to apply got massive merits. It is not only reasons of last week merit rises, but maybe one of partial or componential reasons. I don't know Polish, but you can scrap data to see which boards have highest merit circulation last week.
Additionally, this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4315322.0This is why in previous thread, I mentioned several merit source applications.
