[LIST] Forum's admins/ global moderators/ staffs

[tranthidung]

I hope that the list will help newbies pay more time to read posts made by people who contributed to manage the forum. I don't say their posts always have higher quality than posts of normal users but you should read their posts carefully because I am sure that you will improve your understandings on both the forum rules and crypto.

[malevolent]

There are also several users with mod privileges on wallet software's child-boards:

ThomasV, Andreas Schildbach, Mike Hearn, goatpig, and Rassah

But they aren't treated like regular Staff members.

P.S. Some of those earned merits numbers are wrong, e.g. for my account, or for hilariousandco's.
P.P.S. Merit per post earned for posts made since the introduction of the merit system would be a better metric.

[tranthidung]

P.S. Some of those earned merits numbers are wrong, e.g. for my account, or for hilariousandco's.

Those figures in OP are ones I took from weekly data dump from theymos' raw data and loyce's club. They are not real-time figures.

P.P.S. Merit per post earned for posts made since the introduction of the merit system would be a better metric.

I will try to figure it out.

Thanks. I will look at them ASAP.

In the OP it says that hilariousandco only has 142 earned merits. In your 2nd post you didn't make this mistake.

[tranthidung]

In the OP it says that hilariousandco only has 142 earned merits. In your 2nd post you didn't make this mistake.

Oops. You are right. I made a flip between Mr. Big and hilariousandco.

I saw another mistake too. Please give me a minute to check my code and correct it.

Is this (rickbig41) original name of Mr. Big?

[malevolent]

Is this (rickbig41) original name of Mr. Big?

Yes, that's him.

[sheenshane]

It's a nice work OP, it's easy for them to recognize who are those staff in the forum and MOD's.
Since you included the merit earned and sent, can you also include in your data about who are those merit sources? Or, all staff are expected that they are merit sources.

Just a piece of suggestion, thank you.

Is this (rickbig41) original name of Mr. Big?

Yes. That's him if I'm not mistaken he has changed his username last year.

[Upgrade00]

Or, all staff are expected that they are merit sources.

No, all staffs are not merit sources, while the merit source list is not made public, through users merit distribution you can guess who is a source.
Checking the list of most generous merit senders in recent time: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsend and also all time: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=merit;stats=topsendat
Would give you an idea of who the 98 merit sources are.

[tranthidung]

Thanks. I will look at them ASAP.

Done. Updated for OP (with correct stats and alphabetical orders) and post #2.

When I did it, I found that the userid of @Andreas Schildbach (userid = 3696) is missing from the list of userid that I took from the loyce's club.
I add it for my file but please check yours, @LoyceV.

can you also include in your data about who are those merit sources? Or, all staff are expected that they are merit sources. .

You can get it around the forum, there are some official stats from the forum, and from the community (in topics); but theymos does not want to see such things. I am not going to this one.

Merit sources are free to reveal their source amounts, though I think it may be a bit unwise. While it will eventually become obvious roughly what the source amounts are from the stats, there's a huge difference between showing up in a "list of probable merit sources" and having a quote out there of you basically saying "I'm a merit source, come beg me for merit, complain about every merit I send, and accuse me of being part of the anti-X/pro-Y conspiracy."

[LoyceV]

When I did it, I found that the userid of @Andreas Schildbach (userid = 3696) is missing from the list of userid that I took from the loyce's club.

Which list did you use? The account is included in the full list, but missing from my Merit-lists because there's not a single Merit transaction on that account (just like 2.7 million other accounts).

[UserU]

It would be more useful if you were to add their respective subforums too.

I checked your full list again, and sure you are right.

I took it from there

Usernames machine readable
Full list (1 MB)

Below theymos' raw data, theymos' data, Usernames to go with theymos' data, you made that list, so I misunderstood that one is the list for user who have merit history (sent or gave away). Maybe I dump and the others don't so they will understand this list title better.

Sorry for taking your time.

It would be more useful if you were to add their respective subforums too.

I am not going to add it because the names of moderators for each local boards are available and displayed on each board already. If you actually use your local board, you surely know who are your moderators.

Next, some moderators simultaneously moderate some boards, not only one.

Addtionally, if one newbie is curious, there is place to get it. History of local boards

Lastly, I am going to use space for such stats later.

P.P.S. Merit per post earned for posts made since the introduction of the merit system would be a better metric.

I will try to figure it out..

[tranthidung]

P.P.S. Merit per post earned for posts made since the introduction of the merit system would be a better metric.

Done, malevolent.

Update:

• npost: total posts made since January 24, 2018, 11:00:11 PM (forum time), when the merit system born; till December 05, 2019, 02:30:17 AM
• emerit: total earned merit till the last week (2019w47) data dump from theymos, stored in the loyce's club at http://loyce.club/Merit/userID_sent_received.txt
• emeritppost = emerit / npost
• rank_emp: Rank based on emeritppost (descendingly) and emerit (descendingly) with the first priority is emeritppost.

Note:

• npost: includes posts made when topic trashed by moderators/ admins. *
• emerits: includes earned merits in posts made before the merit system began.

All two things are bias factors.
* This bias factor occurs mostly in Russian moderators.

Great effort , I hope you add some information.

Satoshi created the forum on Nov 22, 2009, and was head administrator until almost 2011. Then Sirius was head administrator until 2012, which is when I took over.

Regarding the list above, I think it's a list of active admins/global moderators/staff.
Many managers have been deleted or replaced (AFIAK):

 - Lauda was a moderator ---> check Should Lauda *really* be a moderator of bitcointalk
 - John (John K.) was a global moderator, jgarzik (subsection (Press)),
 - Maged, Raoul Duke, and you may find more using this board ----> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=87.0


Does anyone know why Bitcoin Wiki mods don’t have mod/staff Position? SomeoneWeird and others

They aren't staff afaik just like Wallet software child-boards' mods, they just have mod privileges in that one section (Bitcoin Wiki).

- Lauda was a moderator ---> check Should Lauda *really* be a moderator of bitcointalk

I need confirmations for the present, has Lauda still be a moderator or mod-privileged user? If what you wrote is for the past only, I won't include him in the list.

Most of them, excludes jgarzik are inactive, so I won't include them in the list. I still wonder that with their inactivities, whether they have still been mod-priviledged ones?

No. He is just talking about history there.

Am I really the third longest tenured staff, behind Theymos and Hostfat?

This seems unlikely to me.

Staff members come and go, but you were registered in early 2011 and theymos was registered here on February 09, 2010 so you're probably one of the oldest.
