Active users, top posters and most active topics in the past 1h, 24h and 7d

[LoyceV]

User Pffrt asked for "the number of active users within the last 24 hours along with the rank". I like it, and made an overview.
I'm keeping a "running total" for posts made in the past hour/day/week. This can be used to find the worst spammers of the day by checking a few of the top posters.

Active users and top posters in the past 1h, 24h and 7d
Active users and top posters in the past 1 hour: loyce.club/active/1h.html (updated 5 times per hour).
Active users and top posters in the past 24 hours: loyce.club/active (updated 4 times per day).
Active users and top posters in the past 7 days: loyce.club/active/7d.html (updated 2 times per day).

Active topics in the past 1h, 24h and 7d
Active topics in the past 1 hour: loyce.club/active/topics1h.html (updated 5 times per hour).
Active topics in the past 24 hours: loyce.club/active/topics24h.html (updated 4 times per day).
Active topics in the past 7 days: loyce.club/active/topics7d.html (updated 2 times per day).

Bans and BPIP
Autobanned and Nuked accounts are marked in red.
Each account has a link to BPIP.

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.

Limitations
I can't scrape the real rank for Copper Members from their profile, so they have their own category.
I don't count non-public boards (such as Investigations.
I don't show data older than 7 days.

Bugs?
I haven't been able to test this long enough yet, so please post if something fails.

Nice, I like this kind of data a lot.  It'd be even better if you could produce a bar graph to represent it--it almost looks like it'd be a somewhat normal distribution centered around Newbies (which surprises me).  I would think the most prolific posters would be Jr. Members, as I see their posts most often when I'm looking around for good stuff to merit.

Royse777 is obviously not a spammer, but I haven't checked the posts of those other members.  I think this sort of data can easily identify spammers and members post bursting for sig campaigns.  Nice job, LoyceV.

What does it mean to the different shade of blue color on the list? Does it mean it has been clicked or not, to be honest, I haven't click it or hovered it on the first time I clicked the link you input here, so what does that mean? (see image below)

[LoyceV]

What does it mean to the different shade of blue color on the list?

That means your webbrowser has visited the link before. I have nothing to do with that

[dkbit98]

Regarding active users, I don't want to open new topic,
and I don't know if they are using it to create fake activity,
but my question is:

 - What to do with fake Questions asked by newbie members? (usually topics)
   1. Answer them
   2. Ignore them
   3. Report them      

[TheBeardedBaby]

Nice work, as always.
Are you planning to keep history/archive for the past days? It can be helpful to check some past stats for reference. Like on Friday if I have more time I can check all the top5 spam users for the past week

[morvillz7z]

It's probably a good idea to restrict from scraping Bounties (Altcoins) section.

Those are just rando bounty hunters with meaningless reports, 90% of the top 20 are exactly that.

[Lafu]

Would be nice to have that for Reporters too !
And should be nice to see Users and the stats for 24 hours reporting.
Anyway nice job LoyceV as always .

I don't think this data is public nor scrapable. Only mods can probably see this.

Report them, try to get them nuked!

I wasn't planning to do so, but I'll see what I can come up with
Update:

Active users and top posters in the past 1h, 24h and 7d
Active users and top posters in the past 1 hour: loyce.club/active/1h.html (updated 10 times per hour).
Active users and top posters in the past 24 hours: loyce.club/active (updated 6 times per day).
Active users and top posters in the past 7 days: loyce.club/active/7d.html (updated 3 times per day).

It's probably a good idea to restrict from scraping Bounties (Altcoins) section.

Bounty spammers are part of the reason I made this

Would be nice to have that for Reporters too !

I would if I could

I am actually a heavy poster lately. Most of the days I end up posting 10 to 20 posts or even more. All depends on my mood and topic I am engaged.

@LoyceV
It's a nice state and I see my name in the top (I mean in the screenshot) :-P
By the way, do you have plane to have a section of weekly toppers? I am sure I will be one of them most of the weeks LOL

[LoyceV]

By the way, do you have plane to have a section of weekly toppers?

I have no such plan, but feel free to regularly archive pages and make an overview of the most frequent posters.

[AB de Royse777]

I am not very smart in data management and analysis like some of you :-P Sometimes I wonder myself how do you and other few users play around with all those information and post so much ideas :-)

[dkbit98]

Oh I think that most 'active' user in last 24h was our friend 'humanrightsfoundation'
who is trying to set a record of most created and banned accounts in Bitcointalk forum.  

ALittleBitRichBitch-humanrightsfoundation-JesusFuck-LuadaIsMyFather-Security Engineer-I kill Americans for free-headcutter-...

[LoyceV]

who is trying to set a record of most created and banned accounts in Bitcointalk forum.  

Unfortunately, I can't count alt-accounts. Before getting banned, I counted 93 posts from humanrightsfoundation in 7 days. He has only 10 posts left now

@LoyceV
Can you create some list that shows only new registered users Live?
Not just last one, but 10 or more.

[LoyceV]

Can you create some list that shows only new registered users Live?

I could, but may I ask why?

Not just last one, but 10 or more.

I would like to have a complete list of all usernames, but that means I'll have to download 2.6 million profiles. It's just convenient to have, because now I need BPIP to get a userID when I have a username.
If I do this, a list of the last 10,000 usernames makes much more sense than just 10.

[dkbit98]

Would be nice to have a tool to monitor new users creation
and their latest posts creating when we click on username.
It can help detecting ban evasion, creating of trolls and humanrightsfoundation clowns
