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 |

I think we should be very careful with creating any other new local boards in future, we don't want another spam factory 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). 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.
That looks like something @*Ace* could do, but I can imagine causing extra drama. 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 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? 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).
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 |

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 Do you want shortcuts directly within the userscript? And which shortcuts do you think are most useful? Give me some ideas and I'll add them in the next update As for evaluating local forums, I'm not sure how to get the necessary data. Or rather, how can we evaluate a board? What data could I use? Your idea seems interesting. But I need to understand what I need to evaluate them, or rather to have BRDb evaluate them. |

It doesn't have to be visible when browsing the forum, but it can be shown when I click on BRDB score, in window with more information. I had ideas of adding more shortcuts but I think this would make it more confusing, and I like more simplification if possible. Maybe BRDb score can also be added for boards/topics also, but this adds complexity. |

I guess a weighted average of the poster on that board. I guess it would cause a lot of drama, and also be applied to boards other than local boards. Be reaty to a lot of drama there! |

Since this ban system was implemented, i already have 2 system to group sigban members based on their local board activity The first method was a userscript, which I used this script to filter users who were sigbanned and active on local Indonesian boards only. I’ve alredy posted the results of the filter in this post. For this version, I had to open bitlist and let the tool run, but this took a long time, and the device need to stay online while processing. Second, offline python scraper, this tools scraped all sigban user data that appears in the Bitlist modlog. This second version uses the Bitlist API to read all of sigban user post history. if local board found (based on the most posts, ex. if user A have 10 posts in Bahasa Indonesia, 5 other language, systme will auto choose Indonesia as his country), it will chosen as their country, results data can be found in this post, if you need to update this sigban with your local boards activity, i can upload it to workers. ps: all tools using AI to coding  |

Damn, your numbers are much higher than mine since I used only activity in the last 120 days as a criteria whether someone is part of the local board, while you obviously used entire activity since account creation. My logic was that if someone hasn't been active in their local board for that long, then local boards won't be affected much (if at all) by them getting sig banned. Can't believe that so many sig banned members were at at one point active in your local board. I guess many of them were part of that big inactive farm of accounts that also got banned. |

Yep, I also didn't expect around 40% of all members who get sigbanned are from my local board.  I agree that being inactive on a local board for a long time doesn’t have a major impact, but at the beginning i think after getting sigbanned, some of them might return to the local board just to ask or discuss why they get sigbanned and become more active there. In reality, many of users choose to take a hiatus from forum or reduce their post activity. If this data is accurate, here are the statistics:    i will close this discussion here as information, with conclusion most of sigbanned users leave this forum, so an accusation about they are just posting for their campaign quota is real, because without BTC, they are stopped posting. |

- I understand you are italian, but please use the comma as thousand separator, my eyes are bleeding

I can enter the names of the sigbanned users and display them as banned or crossed out if it helps you. I believe board#0 contains deleted posts but I have the metadata for them. When I imported the post titles from loycev, many had already been deleted. So I couldn't get the board where they were written and for convenience I grouped them by board #0 which doesn't exist on Bitcointalk At school they taught me that the "." is to delimit thousands and the "," is to delimit decimals. Unfortunately, it's a professional deformation and it's difficult for me to do otherwise. |
