Bitcointalk Merit Dashboard

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Aggregate awarded sMerit for the last complete week (23/08/2021 .. 29/08/2021) is 6.995, which is up 11,16% from the previous week.

Nice!  It's early in the month, but so far I feel like I've been slacking on merit sending.  I'm going to have to step it up if I want to exhaust my sMerit supply by the beginning of October (and that's my goal).  Good to see there's increased merit distribution, though, because that probably means other merit sources are kicking ass.

In addition, there are 3 new Legendary and 1 new Hero Members this week.

Congrats to all of those members, especially the Legendaries because I know how sweet that feels to attain the final rank.  That still seems like a very low number of users making it to those two ranks, even if it is only a weekly report.  I think before the merit system it used to be much higher (though I don't have any data to back up my gut feeling).

Something broke in the "Local Board Post Count Evolution":
if I select dates on the upper right dropdown menu, the table gets updated, but the chart below retains all the values.

Example: selecting no date, the upper table is blank (correct) but the graph has all the dates.



Pretty sure over the last months it didn't work this way.
Can you please check?
I already performed usual, standard tests (different browser, cache things etc..)

I just tested, same here. What I don't remember though is whether thats a standard thing or not.

edit:  Thinking of it, I do remember though is that last month only few months were selected by default and not all, like it usually is so maybe @DdmrDdmr changed something while trying to sort that out.

Pretty sure last month it worked like intended, as I didn't click so much to have the correct graph.

Found another one.

Merit per Post II (Chart)



This time not sure how it worked in the past:
Why the legend numbers are only for local boards? I added some other boards and the graph are muted.
(Ignore the missing values, this was on purpose)

[DdmrDdmr]

Thanks for pointing those out. Both are now fixed:

- I’m pretty sure that the date filter on the first chart did work before, as I’ve used it every now and then. It is back to normal now.

- The second chart is now also fixed, and is related to a bug that happens every now and then on some of the charts, whereby I update the underlying imported data tables, and the chart "decides" to give the values a skip, be it for those not on the default filter, or for those that are displayed due to additional datapoints in the timeframe.

These are odd behaviours, and there are two or three I already manually fix every week before publishing due to this type of misbehaviour on Tableau (despite setting the property to always display values). I believe the solution is creating another object that is exactly the same, and replacing the current one with the new one, but I’ve never got down to it.

Note: Any post related variable (post count, merit/post) for the Russian board is unreliable, and has been so with more or less precision for most of 2021. The reason is that, due to the nature of how I obtain the post count (from the forum stats) heavy retrospectively deleted posts affect these variables for the current month. The Russian local board suffers frequent post/thread deletions for what I presume is a clean-up, and thus render these varibles unreliable.

The distribution of merit is indeed the right of individuals to see whether a post is good or not, but I want to know how the post category makes DdmrDdmr share the merit so that they are included in the list, even in the profile put "merit dashboard".
This is done like Sir Retimov sharing it by asking for an application and checking it https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5275032.0, while like Sir. skarais asking for help from reviewers to share it and he also contributes by sending the best posts in local posts https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5253221.0, and there are others but this I'm curious about @DdmrDdmr.

[DdmrDdmr]

<...>

I’m not sure I fully understand your question, so my answer may not be exactly what you asked for:

@Ratimov’s and @Skarais’ threads are intended for people to self-postulate or postulate others (@Skarais accepts this it seems) to receive merits for some of their posts or history of posting.
I don’t have any such thread, nor intend to, as I favour meriting what I see when browsing the forum, and would rather not have to deal with explicit petitions to review post nor posting history by postulants on a thread.

The Merit Dashboard thread is different altogether. It’s intent is to inform on the weekly updates I do to the data on the BitcoinTalk Merit Dashboard itself, which provides views on global merit distribution as views on individual or collective merit data. It is not intended to help people receive merits, but rather to see where they are going.

On the other hand, the Bitcointalk Ranking-up pipeline- Those close to their next rank (lacking Merits)  thread does have the intention of helping those near to their next rank (in terms of Merits, with disregards to Activity). At times, I use the list and may merit some posts from someone’s history, but it is open to anyone for that purpose. Again, it’s not a postulant thread, but rather a Merit number vigilante for anyone to attend to if they will.

[skarais]

@Ratimov’s and @Skarais’ threads are intended for people to self-postulate or postulate others (@Skarais accepts this it seems) to receive merits for some of their posts or history of posting.

@DdmrDdmr, let me explain a bit about the purpose of my thread which is on the Local Board.

[HELP]Bantuan untuk menaikkan Rank (Newbie s.d Hero) V.2 [UPDATE] aims to help any users (especially Indonesian local board users) who are ranked below Legendary to reach their rankings by submitting a link to their best post in the thread if they feel the post is being ignored by a merit source or is not getting enough merit. The purpose of the thread is almost the same as the thread [self-moderated] Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source, it's just that the contributors in my thread can review posts sent by participants with the aim of improving the quality of the participants themselves in the future. I don't allow users to submit applications for other users' posts in the thread, this is done to raise awareness of the users themselves to contribute to the Local Council and participate in the threads themselves. The meaning participants can only submit their own posts for review by contributors.

@DdmrDdmr, What I can understand from Roman's question is, what category of posts will you submit merit and put on the list or how do you determine the quality of a post to send merit. I think that's the real question if I don't misunderstand.

oh man now where are the conspiracy nuts gonna get their misinformation to circle jerk each other now?

MSNBC still on. 

The TX accounts for sMerits 999.999, 1.000.000, 1.000.001 and 1.000.002, since it was a 4 sMerit TX.

Note1: The above is providing my cumulative DB is correct and hasn’t skipped any TXs. I could be wrong.

Note2: Technically, 1M was reached "before", but there are a few historical deleted TXs and 17 countered (negative) TXs to undo some past merit abuse.

Congratulation to everyone on the list above. Especially @Csmiami, you really run pretty fast since I made this thread last month where your current merit count is still 774. You got 200+ merit in 1 month, that's very good as appreciation for your contribution so far. However I'm still trying to get the remaining 56 more merit to reach that Legendary rank this year. No effort betrays results.

Maybe people are happy with bitcoin's process of reaching new ATH and because of that it has affected the amount of merit distributed in this week.

I like a good deep dive into stats that don't involve money - just ratings. I respect the commitment this whole topic was a fun read and also shows that people do care about quality community discourse when no $$$ is at stake. If I HAD sMerit you would have got some from me already - be back when I load up again
