[CHARTS] Brief monthly overview of the local boards activity

[dkbit98]

Since a few members (dkbit98, fillippone) expressed interest in how recent sig bans have affected local boards (and since I had some free time on my hands and was also curious) I went through list of sig banned users to identify how many sig banned users each local board has so far. As a timeframe to identify local board members, I took the last 120 days.

Great work again mister R. 
Believe it or not this is almost exactly like I imagine stats to look like.
I think we should be very careful with creating any other new local boards in future, we don't want another spam factory
Maybe it's time to have some kind of rating for local boards, both positive and begative, based on DT status, activity, trust feedback, banned/sigbanned members, etc.

I'm interested in seeing the effect of sigbanned users on each board. The number of sigbanned users for each board is a start. It would be interesting to see how many posts and merits those users were involved in over the last few months. Run your reports again without including those users.

Ok I created a tool where it analyzes the activities of users who have received the sigban, counts the uid per board id, how many posts they have written, how many Merit received and how many Merit they have sent
You can find it in brdb.cc/explore and then clicking on the sigban analysis tab





I hope this is what you were talking about. You can choose a timeframe of 30 days, 120 days, or all time, but the latter will count towards approximately 31 million posts. I don't have all the history of Bitcointalk, about 45% so the count is only indicative on all time

That's probably the reason why theymos hasn't created any new ones lately, even though some communities deserve it if we only take the number of posts as a criteria (which obviously isn't the case).

That looks like something @*Ace* could do, but I can imagine causing extra drama.

Yeah I think that's something that fillippone had in mind. Anyway, good job!

I also see that your numbers are a little bit different from mine, as I didn't include one sig banned member who was spamming his translated crap across many local boards, since he wasn't really a member of any local board.

Very interesting research Rikafip, thanks for the effort.
I don't think it's a surprise to anyone that most members with sigban come from Nigerian, Indonesian, Pakistani or Philippine local boards.
On the other hand, it is really interesting that we have much less, almost only a few members with sigban from a local boards with a lot of members like Russian, Italian or Turkish for example.
This data really calls for additional analysis, why this is so.
I'm personally glad that we do not have any members with sigban from the Croatian local board.

Nice work yet again.
Is there a way to add shortcut button for this that can be visible in userscript?

I think you are right about that.
Ace can surely do something about board ratings, but I am sure some members won't be happy about it
