Re: 10th anniversary art contest

[noorman0]

From what i can see, theymos merited 3 of your submissions, with combined total of 62 merit. And as you probably noticed, each subsequent submission received less merit (1st one got 35, 2nd one got 17 and 3rd one got 10) so I guess that's why your last one didn't receive anything from him. He mentioned  earlier about diminishing return, and here is another quote from him where he explains how he merits multiple submissions.

For anyone doing analysis: When someone makes multiple submissions, I consider the merit I've already given them when deciding how much merit to give later submissions. So if someone posts two submissions to which I'd normally give 50 merit, the second one will get less..

Ok, I got it.

Theymos has given a lot of merits to all of the submission and now there is no reason for anyone to complain or suggest if the merits are given less or more. You should be thankful to him that you got 50 Merits from him on your artwork.

Yes, I thank him. But that isn't the point of my question, I've no problem with merit at all. Although Theymos will do other things besides giving merit to mark the artworks that he has reviewed (as far as I'm concerned) and those marks can be seen publicly, of course I'll still ask this. Once again, I don't intend to complain because it doesn't get merit, I just hope that all artworks are reviewed and none will be missed. That's all, thanks.

I published some stats on the thread, base don yesterdays merit.txt file (the results are therefore not real time, and lack merits awarded later than 2019-11-22 02:48:34 UTC).Up until that moment, we had:

16594 merits awarded to the art thread.
906 merited posts.
465 meriters.
585 merited.

The complete relation can be seen here:

As a curiosity:
- Two people have been merited on 11 posts each (@sirazimuth: 242 merits and sujonali1819: 165 merits).

- The thread merited by most people is @theymos’s OP (344 merits and 95 contributors), followed by Yatsan's (229 merits and 59 contributors).

- The largest meriter is (obviously) @theymos, who has merited 542 profiles in 698 posts (7794 merits), followed by @Halab (198 merited profiles – 239 posts - 356 merits).

The answer is in your quote: you received Merit after the weekly Merit data dump.

It’s as @LoyceV indicated. The stats I created are based on a file that the forum makes available every Friday morning, at around 2 UTC (specifically, the latest was 2019-11-22 02:48:34 UTC). That file, https://bitcointalk.org/merit.txt.xz, contains all sMerit TX over the last 120 days (although I, amongst a few others, keep a full history by accumulating these files). Your submission was posterior to the Friday cut-off, and thus is not included this week (it will next week).

Regardless, @theymos surely used his own queries, straight against the database, so there is no need to worry, as he has real-time access to all the information and is fluent at creating his own inners stats.

Cool. So is/was this one of the biggest actions on this forum? The numbers are pretty crazy, especially all the merit flying around.

Very nice breakdown!  That must have been one of the liveliest topics in a long time!

In terms of monthly awarded sMerits, the contest has made November come second in the rank of most merited months (see https://public.tableau.com/shared/WDX9QGR53?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link).

As a thread, it is the second most merited thread, only behind Wall Observer (see Top Merited Thread Ranking here: https://public.tableau.com/shared/RPZZ2S38F?:display_count=y&:origin=viz_share_link – ignore the error thread – it corresponds to a compendium of deleted or non-retrievable posts).

As a single event, I figure it is the most merited indeed. Looks like we need a break every now and then from text, and relax with something more visual from time to time.

That's exactly what some of us are all about!
