How recognized are you in the bitcointalk world?

[STT]

Nifty site, useful reference for finding peoples on Bitcointalk.   I was thinking recognition would also rely on threads started and popularity of those threads.  Its possible someone who codes but doesnt really talk much could be a very significant figure in crypto even on the forum where they dont post that much but people talk alot about what they did on the thread started to launch their software, website or protocol etc.
  Also its possible some are notorious but not especially respected while still recognised

I don’t think “recognized” is the most appropriate way to name this attribute. Maybe activity³ would be better. All of the attributes are a measure of how active a user is in various ways.

Legendary members, or those who were legendary as of this past January have a significant advantage in this ranking as they started with 1000 merit so in general they will have a better merit ranking

To better measure “recognition” I would suggest measuring the number of transactions a user has for trust (global not just DTN), merit and activity. Ideally you would also measure the number of times someone is mentioned in posts, however I don’t know that you have captured the content of posts.

even I was inactive for a long time I am still at #272. That made my day

LoyceV and ETFbitcoin make a good point.

Merit is influenced by activity.  The more activity a person had, the more initial merit they were given.

This turns my three pillars into two. 

I am going to change the front page to show Most Merited and base the recognition calculation on only the merit you have been given by other members.

Another great work by VOD and how do you find time to do this kind of things. I have banned(due to some misunderstanding) yesterday and unbanned today by "theymos", but still your data not updated and still shows that I'm auto-banned. My activity also not updating in your site. So is there any timeframe to update those details or those details are updating in real time? or if a person got banned, does the system got stopped for that user? VOD unban me from your webpage

I'm 611, and I'm glad that means nobody recognises me. Does that mean I get a lot more freedom to move around?

No because you're going to move up:

You've earnt 500+ merit so you'll be a lot higher when the new protocol comes into place.

Like jackg said, it changed.  You are now 257TH most recognized.  

Nullius is now on there, at rank 161.

I expected my rank to drop, but it actually went UP to 2nd place!

The front page now lists Most Merited, which means how many merit you have received from other people.

I know some people are going to think I am playing with this stat, but you can verify it easily.  Just sum up the ranks for each attribute (Merited, Activity and Trust), add 1000 if an attribute doesn't have a rank - and divide by 3.

I don't recognise most of the members in the first few hundred. Maybe I should look around Bitcoin Talk a bit more. Also, I put nullius on ignore. I thought he was just here for a bit of ego massaging, and not for the benefit of the forum, but obviously I haven't read most of his later posts, so perhaps I misunderstood his motives.

[jackg]

Am I calculating wrong?

https://bpip.org/profile.aspx?p=jackg

(410+375+1000)/3=595?

I might be using the wrong statistics here but if not, I guess a lot of others might be wrong also...

Edit 1: Nevermind, I was using most posts instead...

Edit 2: (410+1000+1000)/3=803.333...? So I guess there's still an error?

[Vod]

Your recognition score is 803.333..... that does not put you in the top 1000 (recognition RANK)

Let me make some changes to the profile page to make this clearer.

Ah yes, I forgot people can get the same scores ...

You need to get an avatar jackg, so that we can recognise you.

System is not finished yet, but once you are autobanned or nuked your profile will no longer be parsed.  UNLESS you go into your archive profile and click on "Unarchive this profile".  If there are new posts, then the Autobanned and Nuked flags should disappear.

I've also been inactive for a few months in the past.

I smell corruption within the system

I don't recognise most of the members in the first few hundred. Maybe I should look around Bitcoin Talk a bit more. Also, I put nullius on ignore. I thought he was just here for a bit of ego massaging, and not for the benefit of the forum, but obviously I haven't read most of his later posts, so perhaps I misunderstood his motives.

I guess it's using statistics rather than actual viewpoints of the public. So the data is always going to be a little skewed.

[vphasitha01]

If there are new posts, then the Autobanned and Nuked flags should disappear.  

Actually it isn't. Because I have already posted few posts, but your system doesn't recognized those. Posts, genaral information and security/moderator logs are still not updated.

Yes it does. The update button allows you to click to update your profile.

Oh yeah now it's updated  (btw I didn't press the update button)

396, I'm moving up in the world..... fish don't fry in the kitchen, beans don't burn on the grill, it took a whole lotta tryin' just to get up that hill!

Great job on the new report(s) Vod!

...sometimes people just want to go where everybody knows their name. 
I'm in a musical mood today.

I don’t know that you have captured the content of posts.

Is this a fear of yours or a general observation? 

[vit05]

There is one newbie on the list. deftnerd. IRL Adam Brown.

He has only 8 posts, no merit. Last time he logged was on October 09, 2017. But he received a lot of green trusts from his topic, where he sold steam codes

One new newbie on top 1000 with this change.
