[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[DdmrDdmr]

<…>

What will also be interesting to see is how January 2024 behaves once the month is over, bearing in mind the readjustments in campaigns/participants that have taken place after the ban on mixer campaigns, which might lead to seeing some changes in the information shown. That’s something you’re already looking at and commenting in the monthly update, so let’s see if anything worth highlighting comes up with the next update.

Note: Spanish Local board active member list seems to have been left blank for December 2023.

Edit:

Cheers.

That’s something you’re already looking at and commenting in the monthly update, so let’s see if anything worth highlighting comes up with the next update.

Since majority of those who were in mixer signature campaigns found their spots elsewhere I don't expect a big decrease. Having said that, I do somehow feel that its harder to find interesting topics lately but I don't know is it just me and I am less interested in forum at the moment or there's an actual change. 

Note: Spanish Local board active member list seems to have been left blank for December 2023.

You see, this is what happens when I rush with these overviews.  Anyway, thanks for letting me know, its been sorted now.

[joker_josue]

And in the end of this month's overview, top 10 most active members per local board. After a long time, we have a new the most active member BVeyron who wrote 258 posts in Russian local board and who narrowly beat usual name at the top, joker_josue from Portuguese local board who wrote 255 posts and at the 3rd spot is another member from Russian local, The0ldl_lser who wrote 238 posts. Kudos guys, keep it up!

Well, I just had to make 4 more posts and keep first place. 

I think December was actually a good month. The month of January is also being interesting, we will see the final results.

I'm sure there will be many changes in posting behavior in the January report, I've started to notice this since the first week of January: Changes Discussion Behavior in Forum. But that's normal because most gambling campaigns require posting in certain threads. But I don't know whether this condition will have a big impact on the local board or not

I do somehow feel that its harder to find interesting topics lately but I don't know is it just me and I am less interested in forum at the moment or there's an actual change. 

Maybe you need to gamble to find a topic that is interesting enough... lol 

[criptoevangelista]

I appeared there again, this time in 7th place on the Portuguese local board. This month of December was really good, I was on vacation and I thought I hadn't participated as much. Next month I will try to improve my ranking a little, the difficult part is maintaining the consistency of writing quality things. It's very challenging.

Congratulations @joker_josue for top 1 on our local board.

But I don't know whether this condition will have a big impact on the local board or not

I don't see why it should as from what I can see most of the campaigns count local board posts towards weekly quota.

Here you go! My updated locals race image!

Cheers, overview has been updated!

[Rikafip]

Since months is almost over, I think its time to finally publish the January's (not so brief anymore) monthly overview. Apologies for delay but as always it was caused by the combination of my laziness and having shit load of work. As always, all charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space which I suggest to check if you want more in depth overview of your local board.

Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards.


Post activity per local board during January 2024

During the previous month 21413 posts were made across 18 local boards that are part of this overview, which is a slight decrease compared to December's numbers (22544). Majority of that decerase happened of Russian and Pilipinas board, while rest of it has been divided across several others.

Despite the decrease, Russian board remained by far the most active while Nigerian finally reached 2nd position due their big increase compared to month before (2708 - 3255) and I expect their numbers to keep growirng, while Turkish board ended up being 3rd.

Active members per local board January 2024

Despite the decrease of number of posts, active numbers increased; from 1526 in December to 1589 during last month. Once again Russian board is the leader in this chart as well, followed by Nigerian and Indonesian local boards while German at 4th and Turkish at 5th place are left behind.  

While majority of other local board either had the same number of active members of even slight decrease, those two local boards ( Indonesian and Nigerian) keep growing month after month and those are their highest numbers yet. Well, at least since I am making these overviews.

Local board members per amount of posts during January 2024

When it comes to the members who wrote only 1 post, Romanian board is the leader with 78% of such members, followed by Greek (67%) and Indian (52%) local boards. At the same time, Nigerian had the lowest percentage of such members (11%), while Pakistan was close with 12 % and Pilipinas with 17%.

In the 2-9 posts bracket leader is Russian board with 44%, followed closely by Indonesian (43%) and French (42%) local boards. At the bottom there is Romanian local board with 11%, followed by Polish (22%) and Portuguese (23%) local boards.

Regarding the 10+ posts bracket, Pakistan local board is the leader with 51% of such members, while Nigerian and Portuguese local boards are not that far away with 49%. At the same time, Greek board had no members in that bracket(which is not a surprise considering their post number), while Romanian had 11% and French 22% of those members.

Merit shared per local board during January 2024

Despite the (small) decrease of the amount of posts, number of merit shared went up compared to December; during January 8765 merit was shared across the local boards that are part of this overview which is a slight increase compared to previous month's numbers (8455).

For the first time (afaik), Indonesian board is at the top of this chart with 1765 merit shared, narrowly beating the usual leader Russian that had 1763 merit shared during January. Far behind those two are Nigerian, Turkish and German local boards. At the bottom we see the usual names, with the Greek board missing as they didn't share any merit during January.

Merit/Post ratio per local board during January 2024

When it comes to merit/post ratio, Romanian board is once again at the top with a huge 1.81 merit/post ratio (just to note that the less active boards tend to have such extreme ratios), followed by (again)_ Arabic board with alos a big 1.25 m/p ratio and Spanish local board at the 3rd spot with also impressive 0.94 m/p ratio.

Once again the usual names are at the bottom, Ppilipinas once again sticking out) with Greek board missing due obvious reason (no merit sent during last month).

Merit senders and receivers per local board during January 2024

During above mentioned period, 616 members in the local boards sent at least 1 merit, while 645 received, which is a solid increase compared to month before (519 senders and 578 merit receivers). Just to note that charts are sorted according to the amount of merit shared while Pakistan and Bangladesh boards are missing since I don't have that info about communities without local board.

Percentage of merited posts across local boards during January 2024

Due their very high merit/post ratio and low amount of posts, no surprise that Romanian board is far ahead in this chart, with an incredible 64% of posts getting merit, while far behind them are Spanish and Arabic local boards with more reasonable percentages. At the same time, Turkish and Pilipinas board remained at the bottom where Geeek would probably be too if they managed to send at least 1 merit during last month.

Merit per transaction across local boards during January 2024

And the last in this series of charts, merit per transaction. Despite the Romanian board leading the merit/post ratio chart, in this one Arabic is on the top with and avreage of more than 3 merit sent per transaction, followed by French and Romanian local boards. At the same time, Indonesian (leader in the merit sent chart) sends only 1.23 merit per tx, on average.

The most active members per local board during January 2024

Last but not the least in this overview, list of top 10 members across 18 local boards and thanks to whom their local boards are alive and kicking. This month we have a big change at the top since the usual name (joker_josue) is not even in the top 3, which went to three members from Turkish local board: ZekiBeyy [268], totti67 [261] and verbakalim [261]. Congrats guys,a nd lets see if the usual champion takes back his first spot!

Nigeria board is in a long sprint! 2nd place! Congrats!

[Pmalek]

I am somewhat surprised by the overall decrease in activity and posting in January compared to December. December is usually a time for holidays and time spent away from work and home. It turns out we were being a bit lazy. I wonder how much of an affect on the stats the new rule change had? I think a significant one.

[fillippone]

Wow!
Indonesian board taking the lead in local board is a big thing.
I guess of course the inactivity of a very active Merit source as Ratimov had a important role in this, even if next month we will see something similar in the Indonesian board, as o_e_l_e_o left the forum as well.

I woulnd't be surporised to see them at the top in the near future. Anyway, overview has been updated with your animated chart.

It turns out we were being a bit lazy. I wonder how much of an affect on the stats the new rule change had? I think a significant one.

Since total number of posts in local boards decreased only 5% compared to month before, its hard to say whether that was just a coincidence or mixer ban indeed had the influence. I don't know whether its just my lack of inspiration, but its harder for me to find interesting conversations lately in the English part of the forum.

Wow!
Indonesian board taking the lead in local board is a big thing.

They had a big help from the external merit sources, therefore those numbers.

I guess of course the inactivity of a very active Merit source as Ratimov had a important role in this, even if next month we will see something similar in the Indonesian board, as o_e_l_e_o left the forum as well.

If you check Russian merit numbers previous year, you will see that they didn't have much higher numbers when he was active, and sometimes even lower than now. Then again, I don't know when exactly he stopped sharing merit he got as a merit source.

[DdmrDdmr]

sMerit Senders for the Indonesian local board during January 2024 can be seen here if anyone is interested:
https://public.tableau.com/shared/QK5K7Q4S4?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

There are, as Rikafip mentioned, a set of external Merit Sources that contributed meaningfully to the overall number, some of which are easily spottable on the chart as point in time contributors. The overall number of received sMerits is roughly aligned with figures awarded on average over the past few months:
https://public.tableau.com/shared/4D9SW6C6M?:display_count=n&:origin=viz_share_link

This running month though is pointing insofar at finishing well below though in terms of awarded Merits.

This is a new milestone that deserves our highest appreciation. There were several external merit sources involved in merit distribution in January, some of them were very prominent such as hugeblack and DdmrDdmr who were two from three of the top senders of the month. Several other merit sources, including internal merit sources, also have a significant contribution and one of them is Husna QA. The involvement of local users regarding awareness of the merit system also has a big role, meaning that the distribution of many merits in local Indonesian language boards does not entirely depend on merit sources.

fillippone, you had a contribution there in January, I see you sent 19 merit. So I would like to thank all the merit sources and users involved, I only represent local board users for that. The complete list of merit contributors in January on the Indonesian local board is here:

The most active members per local board during January 2024[/size]

Last but not the least in this overview, list of top 10 members across 18 local boards and thanks to whom their local boards are alive and kicking. This month we have a big change at the top since the usual name (joker_josue) is not even in the top 3, which went to three members from Turkish local board: ZekiBeyy [268], totti67 [261] and verbakalim [261]. Congrats guys,a nd lets see if the usual champion takes back his first spot!

Someday it would have to happen. Maybe this year there will be more competition and it will be more difficult for me to appear so many times in the top 3.

If this brought higher quality to the Turkish board, I'm glad.

Thank you for the chart bro.
Our local thread activity started to decrease in the last couple of months. I have shared the reason a couple of months ago. But, I am glad that the spam has reduced a lot. Some members ranked up and decided to leave the community. But, another fun fact is, that they are doing the same thing in another forum where no one can catch them except the admin. Again, I tried to warn them about the abuse they were doing. My job was to warn them before they got exposed.

Well, a least now you have a goal, to regain your title. Eeven though, as a member of another local board I know its not awlays up to you how many posts you gonna make as you depend on other members too.

I have shared the reason a couple of months ago. But, I am glad that the spam has reduced a lot.

Quality > quantity. After all, your numbers are still good enough and if you keep them you will eventually get your own local board.

[hugeblack]

The Nigerian board appears to be doing well (growth is good and merits have improved) so there is no need to take more action.
If there is a problem in the Indonesian section and there is a member who wants to do a weekly list just like ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5466381.msg62827389#msg62827389 then I think I can help.

[Rikafip]

...

Out of curiosity, do you have any members of Phillipines local board submitting their posts in your thread? Their merit numbers are very low for a long time now, probably more than 2 years while they are among the more active boards. I mean, their merit/post reatio is on par with some of the lowest quality parts of the forum like for example "Off Topic" section and I doubt that quality of discussions in their local is that bad.

Thanks for the word. But, I started to feel that we are already good without a board. Of course, some of my locals will oppose my idea. But, That's what I started feeling in the last few months. Sometimes, I notice that a new account pop up every few days and suddenly become too much active. Once they rank up, they slowly left the thread. You see the activity because we all are in one thread. But, I don't know if we will see that much activity if we get a local board. But, it's also true that a lot of good posts get buried easily because we are in a single thread. I have already created a bunch of enemies. A lot of members do not talk to me anymore
