in addition to the new rule . i guess the reason why we may have low number of posts is the current market situation .. and that is because even telegram groups that used to be so active are now dying slowly :/

It is related to reduced bot activity mainly. For the telegram thing, it is related to altcoins price drop and the fear of investing in that community.

I don't think this large drop is still caused by the new Merit rules. I'll keep updating this list, because I expect the post count to go up once Bitcoin starts going up in price.

the main purpose for these bots is to spam on ico bounties and get free tokens = free $ .. while this market is doing so bad for btc and altcoins . the data show that is doing terrible for icos as well . also joining icos / bounties is just waste of time in this market since it is not profitable with all these scam icos or legit icos that are not able to rise the soft cap ... even those who success in getting the soft cap .. get dumped in the first exchange which leave bounties hunters with very small profits for alot of work and time spending for legit ones or for lot of spam and shitposting for those who don't care about the forum . i expect the spam to return when the market situation improve and the bounty business return to be profitable again .

Initially the merit system might have had a significant effect in the drop in posts, as lots of demoted jr members had no reason to keep actively posting in the forum. We were left with those determined to earn merits and those complaining about the unfair system. The bad market of the past month has reduced interest of most in bitcoin and cryptocurrency related content. I also expect a rise is activity with that of bitcoin.

It's obvious,what do you of expect of coins that are not established and lack a focal point of what the blockchain technology is all about,when the bitcoin that is king is declining daily,you should expect ICO's to crumble immediately,which is exactly what's happening at the moment This ICO's need the bitcoin/market to improve,or else only the genuinely good ones would be able to survive

In one way this is true if we take price for parameter. On other hand many see that earning merit is not that simple, you cant get merit just for post something you need to pick the right time for it. This system is good and so far made results. Reading little and see that some suggest we have demerit maybe this could effect something as well. Or we will have on the other hand again new users complaining about unfair system (this is something that I have read here that most newbies and jr. members as well as demoted jr. member were complaining about). No matter what happens this will be in one way another good solution for the forum to have some good post and another way to reduce spam, cuz think it could be good idea if someone goes to - merit he could be maybe restricted to post once every 2,3 or four hours difference.

It was good to reduce spam in the forum. However, if you will going to check and see there are still a lot of work to reduce those spam because until now the problem is still a problem. We could rely on the good results of the statistics but the posts that are visually shown in some threads were an eyesore to the eyes and it even contribute to almost 50% of it in the total number of replies in the SMT.

I still think that it is, since I have also noticed the difference seeing threads with no more posts from newbies that might still be a good indication, you were right tho to just atleast wait for the price to go up but IMO your stats still relates to the current new rule. If ever that the price will go up and the newbies will be swarming up again then that forfeits your data

The number of posts is still dropping, but less fast. I'm curious to see if it goes up again once crypto keeps recovering as it did in the past week.

In that case, you can collect some data during ATH, during BTC at $10k and the current situation. Then you will have a little idea how much it has been decreased due to price crash and how much for the new 1 merit system.

Sorry to necro bump this thread, have you continued to study the decline of posting over time? It'd be interesting to see if there was a rise during the Covid-19 outbreak and subsequent lock-downs.

You can find the past 7 days data here. The post made in last 7 days is only 45543 which is very low as compare to the last data shared on this thread. Source: https://loyce.club/active/7d.htmlActive users and top posters on Bitcointalk.org in the past 7 days:

have you continued to study the decline of posting over time? No. I stopped keeping track when the weekly number of posts dropped a lot. We're currently at -87.1% of the 353813 weekly posts mentioned when I started this topic. I guess this result is a combination of the Merit system and the demise of ICOs. It'd be interesting to see if there was a rise during the Covid-19 outbreak and subsequent lock-downs. For the last year, you can quite easily find the post count at the start of each week in my post archive. Without checking the data, I haven't seen much effect from the lockdown when I occasionally checked weekly data.

Which leads us to another interesting question: is the Merit system responsible for the demise of ICOs? Does this mean the Merit system has indirectly reduced the number of scams - supposing that genuine "honest" ICOs could survive even without bounty campaigns and Merit posters? Maybe that subject deserves a separate thread and study...

I clicked on top posters, newbie, brandnew and their posts are in Off-topic. Why do they post much in Off-topic? 150, 200, 300 posts in 7 days.

Probably not, Twitter also started banning accounts for ICO spam, and after the large crypto price drop with 99% or more losses on BS tokens, I can imagine many people learned their lesson. supposing that genuine "honest" ICOs could survive Do they even exist? I consider (almost) all ICOs as money-grabbers for the creators. Much like the current defi hype, so maybe they didn't learn their lesson yet after all. Why do they post much in Off-topic? 150, 200, 300 posts in 7 days. See Rapid shitposting attack.

Twitter also flooded with hastag for cryptocurrency and seeing this happen in their platform they acted upon immediately banning user with cryptocurrency hashtags or promoting ICO projects or any related to cryptocurrency. They pretty much know that most of the user promoting ICO are making fake twitter account another reason for them to ban these users. If there is a rule here in the forum like this prohibiting the user to promote scam related links which seem to be lot in other sections then I guess many users here will get ban. However, that is not a small job for the mods to do I guess. Anyway, I am glad to see that the forum had improve and has way better today compared before.

I'd bet there's some spikes/ steady rise during the first few months
