Merits Tree - Monthly Results

[joker_josue]

Yes, I'm using that file.
But how do I now associate each merit to a board? 

As far as I remember on that file each merit transaction refers to a thread, so I need a table linking each thread to a board.

But how does the @ddmrddmr merit dashboard works on this detail? How do he knows where a specific merits belong to?
Blindly, I am missing something.

If I have a list that indicates the id of the board where each post is inserted (with its respective id), I can already know where the merit was given and from there make the tree.
I still haven't found this relationship, in a txt/csv format to be able to compile.

If TryNinja can't get you the data, I'll scrape it for you.

If he shows the data, it means he's scraped it. I actually scraped it too, but only stored the thread titles, not the boards.

I still haven't found this relationship, in a txt/csv format to be able to compile.  

Well, I could just start scraping now, but with >100k threads, it's going to take a few days (I have to stay under 1 forum request per second on average for all my scraping).

I determine the board by examining and parsing the path labels, which is not the best of ways (in case there is a name change). The Merit Tx has the message Id, and I later scrape some of the message metadata, including the path name which I parse in order to determine the board.

I used to have a tab on the Merit Dashboard called "Reciprocal Merits", which determined how many sMerits were sent from a given profile to another and back. I eventually deleted it because it was slowing down everything more than it should. I don’t think I made it filterable at the time by board though.


Edit:
You’re probably aiming at something like this in terms of data:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12G0JE1HVX9McRQT9oNflZ-FDavhEOzDXxRyNm4rnfZs/edit?usp=sharing
Probably needs a process to delete rows that indicate the same data in reverse order.

I already talked to TryNinja. His website allows you to search by tab, so I believe he can arrange a compilation of the tab ID with the post ID.

I was exactly looking for something like this.
Better than row deletion I can do a column deletion, considering only the sent merits.
Received merits is the sent merit in the corresponding row.
Looks more feasible to me.

Well, this data is very viable to make the tree! Although I would have to make an adjustment in the way I collect information...
Do you update this data every month?

[DdmrDdmr]

<…>

Ok, I can leave as is, since it can then be used both to resolve what you wanted, and enable us to see the reciprocal Merits sent at a glance (applying filters and such on the data).

<…>

I can update it monthly, based on when I process the merit.txt file that closes each month’s data set. The idea would be to update the same Google Sheet, adding an additional month’s data to the "All " tab.

[fillippone]

I can update it monthly

Both your proposal look good to me!
I guess a few interesting analysis will be enabled by this new dataset.

[fillippone]

Let me derail one last time.
This is how I used the new created table:

Excellent job! Congratulations!

Here's another way to analyze the data. It's pretty funny what you can do with the numbers collected.

[TryNinja]

I actually forgot I already had the data and an endpoint ready in the ninjastic.space API.

https://api.ninjastic.space/merits?board=28&child_boards=1 (Italian & child boards)

Code:

{
"date": "2022-10-23T09:28:59.000Z",
"title": "Re: E intanto l'hash rate della rete bitcoin ha realizzato un nuovo RECORD",
"post_id": 61169364,
"id": "6d116057-008c-4a9d-994b-86423be8edb7",
"amount": 4,
"sender": "fillippone",
"sender_uid": 1852120,
"updated_at": "2022-10-23T09:29:05.249Z",
"receiver_uid": 364070,
"board_id": 28,
"topic_id": 5402612,
"receiver": "bitbollo",
"created_at": "2022-10-23T09:29:02.084Z",
"post_date": "2022-10-23T09:27:46.000Z",
"board_name": "Italiano (Italian)"
}

And I created a new endpoint: https://api.ninjastic.space/merits/users?board=28&child_boards=1

Which returns the top 1000 instances of X to Y:

Code:

{
"sender": "fillippone",
"sender_uid": 1852120,
"receiver": "Plutosky",
"receiver_uid": 1237522,
"amount": 982,
"num_transactions": 362
}

Does that work?

I'll also get the merit.all.txt dump from LoyceV to fill any of the missing merits data (I know there are a few from the numerous downtimes over the years).

I'll also get the merit.all.txt dump from LoyceV to fill any of the missing merits data (I know there are a few from the numerous downtimes over the years).

As far as I know, merit.all.txt is complete. Every week, I replace the last 113 days by the new 120 day data. That means that the rare "undo" actions theymos did on Merit are also processed correctly.

Thank you very much for this update.
Yes, November was a good month for me sending merits. Quite surprised having maxed three out of three users btw, as I thought my merit thread forced me to wider my meriting target audience!

Interestingly, this was the result of all your smerits, since based on this top you only receive merits from three users. Congratulations for the good work.

I will add this curiosity to the post.

I know that giving merits to even higher ranking members for their great effort on making and posting constructive content is good, but why are the most high ranking members give merit to each other back and forth in high numbers? Wouldn't be more productive to focus on ranking up the low ranks?
I can see why some people give 20, 30, 40, 50 merits to some legendary members, but I don't think we should base meritting others just because they have done something great, rather to merit those who really need it. However this is just my opinion, great works are appreciated even if they
don't receive merits, usually I refrain to give merit to legendaries even if they deserve it, because honestly they don't need it.
On another note, we could have something similar to like, or thumbs down/up to show our like and dislike and leave merit for ranking up, that way we could actually show our gratitude towards those high rankings who deserve it, but with the current system, not all have smerits to spread around on really amazing content made by legends.

[The Sceptical Chymist]

I know that giving merits to even higher ranking members for their great effort on making and posting constructive content is good, but why are the most high ranking members give merit to each other back and forth in high numbers?

Because....the best posts....are usually made by senior members.  Like it or not, agree with it or not, but that's why you're seeing what you're seeing.  I would also point out that this isn't a new phenomenon--not by a long stretch.  I think the last few members I merited were Legendaries, and that was only because I'd taken a quick breather from doing post history reviews.

And on a very much related note, members who get a lot of posts merited also end up with a lot of sMerits.  Guess they're judging the Legendary posts to be of higher quality than the rest, too.  It isn't a conspiracy (at least not one I'm in on or have ever heard about); it's just a natural outcome of the system and the community.

However this is just my opinion, great works are appreciated even if they
don't receive merits, usually I refrain to give merit to legendaries even if they deserve it, because honestly they don't need it.

I try to do that as well, and I've said as much many times.  But what can I say?  I often deviate from the path I originally planned.

That doesn't mean there's substantially fewer sMerits for lower-ranked members however.  If you've got enough of them stored up, sometimes it's a pain in the ass trying to unload all of them.

Sometimes you see a post and have no smerit to give, I think 99% of forum members are like this, if they really find a post useful and educational, constructive they would like to give the author some merits but they usually have none.
Only if we had a small system eg, 'like' 'dislike' icons somewhere inside the post box, then we could see and find the most useful answer/post/content by going straight to the most liked post in a thread instead of reading pages of basic elementary school kid's opinion.

When you have few merits, you have to be more careful about the merits you give.

I've had situations where I keep the post that I want to give merits, so as soon as I have something to give, I can do it.

I think that everyone should manage their own merits. And I also think that merits should be given to any type of member, novice or experienced. If the post has quality and an effort was made to do so, it should receive merit. If everyone does this a little bit, which I think they do, then everyone will always receive some merit when they deserve it.
