Merit earned on deleted or short posts

[ABCbits]

ETFbitcoin received 93/5915=1.57% Merit for deleted posts and 0/5915=0% Merit for short posts

Only 1.57%? It's better than expected.

• I won't do any other sorting than the current order

Now if I may ask; what's the significance of this data scrapping/ thread?

It's only useful for extreme cases, with very high percentages. Like the one that deleted half his merited posts.

You got me curious there. So i copied all stats manually, run regex find and found few interesting result.

• There are 6 users with 100% rate in either category.
• There are 165 users with rate between 10% and 99+% rate in either or both category.

what's the significance of this data scrapping/ thread?

Someone found a use for it:

Thanks to LoyceV that made me rediscover this gem.

I've only got two or three deleted posts anyway.

I've deleted some of my own Merited posts, and some have been deleted from self-moderated topics. None of this is bad by default

Regarding my short posts, these are definitely from WO, which most probably contains a meme or a chart.

I (tried to) exclude all codes from the post, so images don't count as "post length".

So I think may be we can further divide short-posts into single image posts and short text posts.

We could, but I'm not going to do that. That's why I added links to all short posts, so you can easily see the difference between just short posts, and wiped posts. Short posts can be good: if for instance gmaxwell answers a technical question with "yes", that's a valuable answer.

by any chance do you use a script for automated posting? because I don't think it's possible to do all of this manually, if so can you share the script?

I type really, really fast. I once applied at Google for typing 32,000 words a minute.

Also top 50 would be interesting.

I know, it's tempting, but the data doesn't really allow for easy sorting:

I won't do any other sorting than the current order

I join the request, although I thought that since you have done the work of creating this thread, another presentation would be more enjoyable, such as ordering them from highest to lowest, or alphabetically, to better find who we want to look for.

Maybe I can leave this to the reader, here's the raw data: Merit_earned_on_deleted_or_short_posts.txt

Can you explain what was the ordering criteria?

It's sorted by userID, starting with satoshi (who must have made 1 post on a hidden board).

does this mean that

When in doubt, read the OP

Is there an archive of these deleted posts?

See my topic on deleted posts. In retrospect, I could have linked all deleted posts directly to my archive, but I didn't. And I'm not going to run it again, it's too much data to scrape frequently.

You got me curious there. So i copied all stats manually, run regex find and found few interesting result.

• There are 6 users with 100% rate in either category.
• There are 165 users with rate between 10% and 99+% rate in either or both category.

Some users deleted all their posts. Feel free to post your lists.

His feedback says he's a spammer, but I like this guy's style:

Pastrana received 0/100=0% Merit for deleted posts and 100/100=100.00% Merit for short posts

One image with 100 Merit, that's it.

If you have spare time and resources, it then would be interesting to know who's best at long posts.
Let’s put a threshold at 2,000 characters, commands excluded.
I have a suspect on who's winning in the “wall of text” category. JJG, of course

Did you really spend the weekend conjuring up yet more statistics so you have yet more threads you can endlessly bump ?

SPQRCoin received 0/132=0% Merit for deleted posts and 0/132=0% Merit for short posts

Well that tells me nothing.  Why post it?

Timelord2067 received 21/1160=1.81% Merit for deleted posts and 1/1160=0.08% Merit for short posts

So what you're saying is that of the 34 posts of mine that have been deleted by mods (not counting the ones you ironically deleted in a thread you started about how hard-done-by-you-feel-you-are for your own posts being deleted in someone else's' thread) that more than half were meritorious - yet the mods "felt it necessary" to delete.  

The Forum is kind-of-falling-apart with that kind of mentality - wouldn't you agree?

What's your problem with the OP? If you don't find his threads interesting I don't know what you're doing commenting. We have a guy on my local board who has also made a few threads about stats that he bumps, weekly I think. Do you dislike him too?

I don't.

Nice job, OP. I believe that despite the criticisms, some in the forum will find this data useful.

No need to spend time on that, JJG wins this.

OK I did the dirty and found the top 20 members for both categories. Perhaps LoyceV was just being nice enough not to single them out, but let's admit it, we all want to know who's at the top

It appears that "deleted posts" also includes posts deleted from self-moderated threads, and posts deleted by the poster themselves.

For a few of the most successful short posters, there's something to be said for eloquently getting your point across in as few words as possible. For example, jojo69 is famous for posting just memes, and when he does use words its usually not a whole lot. When he wasn't going on a verbal tirade, Phinnaeus Gage could also be eloquent, frequently posting memes as well, and then of course there's ChartBuddy.

What's your problem with the OP? .

As I asked the OP I'll ask you: Why cause conflict where there was none?

The OP mentioned me by name in this thread therefore I have a right of reply. Read the rest of the thread - others have also questioned why they have been mentioned.

When I started reading the topic, I thought: who is at the top? 
As I don't have much time, I wanted to ask if anyone had already done this analysis. Well, it looks like you answered my thoughts. 

LoyceV thanks for another good compilation of information.
