[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[skarais]

The Indonesian local board has experienced a fairly good increase throughout January 2021. This feels good because previously the activities observed there had decreased both in terms of merit and number of post. Thanks @Rikafip, I've updated the thread and hope it will continue in the following months.

Indeed, due to security concerns (among others) following Ledger's hack, an old french Legendary member decided to delete all his posts. It breaks your stats a bit but it shouldn't happen too often (I hope).

Thanks for clearing out the reasons of French board going into negative post difference. Looking at numbers of most active French members, you actually had a good month and would be very high on the chart. These things happen quite often, boards going into negative so this happening is not a big precedent. As a matter of fact, some boards like Chinese are in negative for more than a year now.

Sad to see that activity in Bangladesh local thread has decreased significantly. It's possible that due to the recent scandal on "A guy get caught for using bitcoin" (actually he is involved with hacking activities), activity has been decreased as bitcoin users in our local are in more fear. This is just my speculation.

Hm, can't say I heard about that case, someone in Bangladesh got arrested for using Bitcoin? But yeah, I know that your government is not very friendly towards crypto and that can certainly affect the popularity. Even with this decreased post number you are still among most active threads in other languages/locations section.

This feels good because previously the activities observed there had decreased both in terms of merit and number of post. Thanks @Rikafip, I've updated the thread and hope it will continue in the following months.

Increased number of (quality) posts is the first prerequisite to increase amount of merit and looks like you are working towards that. If you check some of my first overviews I did, Indonesian board was already in decline, but merit shared number stayed quite high, but as number of posts was decreasing, so was merit, which culminated in December. You drop was so significant that even members from other boards noticed that, like @fillippone in one of his earlier posts in this thread. Hopefully January wasn't just an exception and you are getting back on track.

Hmmm I was already extrapolating when the Italian board was going to take over the Indonesian.... I'll have to replot everything:



No, seriously, I more than happy if every board is properly functioning.

[Rikafip]

Beginning of a month means only one thing, new monthly overview of the local board activity!

I made these charts thanks to data provided by @DdmrDdmr and his Merit Dashboard which I suggest you check if you wanna more in depth look into specific local board.


Post activity per local board during February 2021

Post activity wise, local boards were slightly less active during February than they were in January, but difference is basically negligible (25788 posts were written, down from 26449). Once again Turkish board has been most active, followed by usual names, Russian and German local boards. Not much difference at the bottom half of the chart as well, with those semi-dead boards being at the bottom, while they are usually not even on the list.

Among communities without local board (that are marked with *), Pakistan proves to be most consistent and active one.

Merit shared per local board during February 2021

While February post activity decreased just a little bit, merit wise the difference between last month and January is much more noticeable (4601 merits shared in February, down from 5225 which is approximately 11% decrease). The only (among more active ones) board that managed to increase merit shared in this period was German, all others had drops, and some like French even significant. Hopefully this month end up being better.

Merit senders/receivers per local board during February 2021

Pretty straightforward chart, as always, with few standard boards being moe active in that regard than others, relative to the amount of merits shared.

Merit/Post ratio per local board for February 2021

Last but not the least, merit/post ratio chart. As you can see, majority of boards had lower ratio during February  than average for 12 months period, which was expected given the reduced amount of merit shared. Standard warning not to take this chart too seriously as data can be off due various factors, even if you look at the longer period of time

Among communities without local board (that are marked with *), Pakistan proves to be most consistent and active one.

We wish to have a local board now... our single lonely thread is getting overburden with all the spaghetti posts Technology, Alt, News, Politics all in one plate.

Yeah I can imagine that situation there ain't best, with having to use one thread for various topics and conversations but it is what is, as others communities had to go through the same thing in the past before they got their local board.

If I am not mistaken I think that you already have a topic with local board request here in Meta section so first step towards your goal has been done. All you can do now is to remain active as a community, write good posts and hopefully one day you will get your own local board. Since it's been a while from the last local board being added, you will have to be patient as it won't happen overnight.

German

Rikafip I think there is still a bug in the data determination. So at least in the "German" area are missing users or are users who are not there.

As an example, my user.
222 Postings in February but missing in the collection.

Of course no problem but I just noticed

You are absolutely right, there was an error in that list of most active users in German local board! While copy/pasting from ninjastic.space I made a mistake and somehow replaced your link with another user. It's been sorted now and thanks for letting me know!

[skarais]

I am pleased that in the last few month I have seen a lot of good change in the local Indonesian board. The number of post and active users of local board Indonesia continues to grow and has an impact on the number of post and merit distributed. Since 2021, I feel that the distribution of merit there has started to improve and it must be due to the quality of user post. I keep updating my thread every month about the number of post, distribution of merit, on local board and that has encouraged people to do their best. I thank @Rikafip for giving me permission to keep up with the local council activity data.

What I know is, when compared to other local board, local board Indonesia are still classified as local board with limited merit distribution at this time. Based on data, since July 2020 the distribution of merit in the Indonesian local board has never reached 200 and make it difficult for local contributor to move up the ranking. Meanwhile, I see some of the contributor below struggling to move up to the next rank. I believe that if the amount of merit distributed does not exceed 200 per month, then I think it will take these people a lot of time to reach it. But I never considered this as a problem, because ranking should be achieved naturally with all form of contribution made to the forum and users.

I was wondering, do the current Indonesian local board really need a source of merit to distribute more merit to quality posts there?

I am glad to see that Indonesian local board is slowly recovering after several bad months. When I first started doing these overviews Indonesian board was one of the most active, both post  and merit wise and out of sudden, your numbers dropped significantly, for whatever reason.

What I know is, when compared to other local board, local board Indonesia are still classified as local board with limited merit distribution at this time. Based on data, since July 2020 the distribution of merit in the Indonesian local board has never reached 200 and make it difficult for local contributor to move up the ranking.

But I never considered this as a problem, because ranking should be achieved naturally with all form of contribution made to the forum and users.

It is true that Indonesian board has one of the lowest merit.post ratio among all local boards while year ago it was completely opposite, your ratio was several times higher than it is now. For an example, just look at the merit/post ratio for March 2020 (first post of this thread) while Indonesian board had similar post count as it had last month. It is a huge decrease, going from 0.7 to 0.14.

I was wondering, do the current Indonesian local board really need a source of merit to distribute more merit to quality posts there?

That's the question only you and members of your local  board can answer as only you knows what's the posting quality there and how many good posts get unmerited etc. If you think that's the case, member of your board can apply to become merit source, or you can report good under merited/unmerited posts to Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source.

[skarais]

~~~

Thank you for responding to my post @Rikafip. At least that's what I expected.

That's the question only you and members of your local  board can answer as only you knows what's the posting quality there and how many good posts get unmerited etc. If you think that's the case, member of your board can apply to become merit source,

Someone did it a few months ago, but I don't know exactly if theymos accepted. Because one of the merit source is no longer active, the decrease in the number of distribution merit on my local board is very noticeable, it also has something to do with the number of post that have dropped. Meanwhile, I don't want to enlist myself to be a merit source at this time. I'm just trying to distribute the existing sMerit to those who deserve it. @dbshck is the main merit source that currently exist and it is even one of the most generous merit source.

or you can report good under merited/unmerited posts to Report unmerited good posts to Merit Source.

Thanks for this suggestion, I'll give it a try. But I don't know exactly if merit source there will accept report for local language post.

New month, new monthly overview of the local boards activity.

All charts were made thanks to data provided by @DdmrDdmr and his Merit Dashboard.


Post activity per local board during March 2021

Despite the ongoing bull run, overall local board activity has  decreased slightly ( ~10%) compared to February. I haven't checked the numbers, but I have a feeling that situation ain't any better in other parts of forum either.

Once again Turkish board has been the most active one but this time German local board took the 2nd spot ahead of Russian who was regularly the most active board up until recently. Decrease in Russian board might be caused by high amount of deleted posts, rather than decreased overall activity. majoruty of other boards remained on pretty much the same level as in February, but some like Portuguese had big increase, by almost 50%!

Another curiosity is that for the first time since I am making this overview, Chinese local board ended up with the positive post count!

Merit shared per local board during March 2021

Decrease in posting activity has been followed by a decrease in merit shared, and with the similar decrease too (again ~10%). While most of boards had relatively similar amount of merit shares like during February, two local boards stood out; Indonesian local board increased merit shared by ~60%, while German had the complete opposite, and are down by ~40%! I do hope that's just a temporary decrease.

Merit senders/receivers per local board during March 2021

Self explanatory, as always

Merit/Post ratio per local board for March 2021

No big changes here as post number decrease was followed by a merit decrease, with standard names at the top. As expected, few boards had decreased ratio like German, French and Portuguese (their ratio decrease is connected to rise in post count), while few like Russian and Indonesian had a nice increase. At the bottom we have already standard local boards, whose situation won't change until they get more merit sources, but as we can see, that's not likely to happen in the future.

Hi rikafip, the number of Indonesian local board post recorded on the merit dashboard is less than that recorded on ninjastic.space. I would like to know which one is more accurate to display on the chart ?
If the data in the merit dashboard is more accurate than ninjastic.space then I'll update my thread with data that might appear to be in sync with your thread.

I had the same dilemma few months ago when I started using ninjastic space and I also noticed the difference in numbers compared to merit dashboard. Thing with ninjastic.space (that I didn't know but Ddmr Ddmr explained it to me) is that is also counting all those posts that were for some reason deleted from the board, and that's why number is usually inflated compared to numbers found in merit dashboard. For example, if you had some spammer who wrote 20 posts in Indonesian board during March, and his account got nuked and all posts deleted, his posts will still be counted even though they are not there anymore.

With that being said, numbers on merit dashboard can also be wrong in case that mod deletes/moves threads around, but I decided to stick to merit dashboard numbers in the end as it doesn't seem right to count spam posts that have been deleted for days or even weeks.

Thanks rikafip, although we can still find deleted post but it doesn't seem good to count deleted post to show in the chart. I will probably update the chart in my thread soon. I also decided to use the merit dashboard to get the monthly local Indonesian board posting from now.

Well, those deleted posts ain't there anymore at the time i am making these overview so it would be  wrong to include them into statistic, as simple as that. Thing is, some boards are affected with this more than the others. For example, Croatian local board doesn't have much spam/nuked users so our numbers are usually similar in both of those tools, unless there is something going on, like threads being moved around, which can cause the issue for some reason.

Time has come for yet another monthly overview of the local boards activity!

All charts were made using the data data provided by @DdmrDdmr via his Merit Dashboard, which I suggest you should check if you want more in-depth look at the specific local board.

Communities that have  "*" tag next to their name are those without local board.


Post activity per local board during April 2021

Despite the ongoing bull run, slight decline in posting activity continues yet another month. Decrease is not significant (approximately 2-3 %), but its there, and is pretty much constant.

No changes at the top when we look at the chart, Turkish board remains by far the mpst active one, followed by German. I must say that it is surprise to see Russian board with such a low numbers. I did notice that they had huge amount of posts deleted  last month, so part of the reason for their low numbers is probably that. Portuguese board keeps growing month after month, and they have respectable numbers now.

It is also worth to mention Pakistan community that has very solid numbers, despite the fact that they don't have their own local board yet. If they keep being active for longer period of time, who knows, maybe they get their own local board in the end.

Merit shared per local board during April 2021

The slight decrease of post amount didn't cause merit decrease too. On the contrary, number of merit shared increased a little bit, from 269 during March to 4303 during April. At top are pretty much standard names; Russian, followed by German and Turkish. Biggest winner this month was obviously German board, with almost ~35%, which is a lot because they generally have very high amount of merit shared.

Boards that had biggest decrease are French with 40 % and Indonesian with whopping 63 % decrease. Hopefully that's just temporary, as these things happen and merit numbers tend to fluctuate a lot in majority of boards.

Merit senders/receivers per local board during April 2021

Pretty straightforward chart whose goal is to show how  how many members of each local board are part of the merit system. Boards are sorted by the amount of merit shared during April.

Merit/Post ratio per local board for April 2021


As always, this chart changes a lot each month, but one constant is Arabic board at the top. Some big boards like German and Russian had a big change of ratio compared to March, due different reasons. Since many things can affect ratio, this chart doesn't really give a clear picture whether some board is undermerited or overmerited, but as we can see from the 12 months/April numbers, majority of boards had pretty much similar numbers to their yearly average so it can indicate something.

Excellent analysis of Rikafip, as always 
I think that a small drop in the number of active members, and in the number of quality topics and discussions can be seen throughout the forum.
Maybe the forum is losing the battle with other ways of communication, discord, telegram etc?
Also, since I'm active in the Croatian part of the forum, it seems that our results, post activity and Merit/Post ratio shows that we need at least one more merit source in our local board.

[zasad@]

Who has an opinion why the Russian section, which has always been the most active and was the leader in terms of the number of posts, decreased by almost 7.7 times in 1 year?
I am thinking about this question and cannot answer it. Agree that this is a very large drop in activity.

[Rikafip]

Lol, what? Rikafip, by what data did you get this number of 1787 posts in the ru-locale for a month?

If you read my post carefully, you would notice that source of my data is @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard. Its literally the 2nd sentence of the post, right there at the top.

You can go in and check everything yourself:  https://ninjastic.space/search?after_date=2021-04-01T00%3A00%3A00&before_date=2021-05-01T00%3A00%3A00&board=10&child_boards=true

I am perfectly aware of the differences between numbers shown in Merit Dashboard and ninjastic.space and I talked about it before in this topic. Those two tools have 2 different ways to calculate post count; Merit Dashboard takes into account difference in post numbers, while ninjastic.space counts all posts written, and in total amount includes even posts that are not there anymore and were deleted, so that tool can also be misleading.

Hi rikafip, the number of Indonesian local board post recorded on the merit dashboard is less than that recorded on ninjastic.space. I would like to know which one is more accurate to display on the chart ?
If the data in the merit dashboard is more accurate than ninjastic.space then I'll update my thread with data that might appear to be in sync with your thread.

I had the same dilemma few months ago when I started using ninjastic space and I also noticed the difference in numbers compared to merit dashboard. Thing with ninjastic.space (that I didn't know but Ddmr Ddmr explained it to me) is that is also counting all those posts that were for some reason deleted from the board, and that's why number is usually inflated compared to numbers found in merit dashboard. For example, if you had some spammer who wrote 20 posts in Indonesian board during March, and his account got nuked and all posts deleted, his posts will still be counted even though they are not there anymore.

With that being said, numbers on merit dashboard can also be wrong in case that mod deletes/moves threads around, but I decided to stick to merit dashboard numbers in the end as it doesn't seem right to count spam posts that have been deleted for days or even weeks.

Now, as I mentioned that in my post (and many times before in this topic), post number shown in Merit Dashboard is heavily affected when there is some big clean up by local mods, like it was case in Russian board for the last couple of months. As seen in Merit Dashboard, in the board called "Oбcyждeниe Bitcoin" there was negative difference of 3094 posts, meaning one of your mods probably deleted whole topics, that lead to this huge difference, and skewed numbers. And I even mentioned that in the post you quoted, as seen below

I must say that it is surprise to see Russian board with such a low numbers. I did notice that they had huge amount of posts deleted  last month, so part of the reason for their low numbers is probably that

So, in the end neither Merit Dashboard and ninjastic.space are 100% correct, and some weird results will happen, but I decided to stick with the former when making those charts as I prefer occasional odd results due high amount of deleted posts over inflated numbers. To get clearer picture of board activity, best is to use both of them.
