Top posters last 7 days and ratio of earned merit/ post

[notocactus]

This week, the result only present statistics for post counts in the last 7 days over different ranks.

Next week, I will include the ratio of earned merits/ postcount ratio.

• Total active posters: 7388.
• Top ranks (in median -- p50): Hero member (11); Legendary (9); Sr. Member (7); Staff (6); Full member (6). Some ranks with low member count (see at the N column) are excluded.

Thanks @LoyceV for the clarification on data correctness.

Data source

This is inaccurate data for Ranks:

To reduce forum scraping, I cache Rank data for the last 10,000 20,000 18,000 unique users. I'll check later if this value gives the right balance between scraping and staying up-to-date (alternative: abandon data on x Ranks each update). First impression: especially Brand new users are labeled that way longer than they should be.

I never bothered to check/fix this, so I can't really say how many of the ranks are really outdated.
