one way to weed out bad and low content posters is to see how often people quote them by doing a content search for their name and find the ratio of post count to quote count. the theory is, the lower this ratio, the higher quality posts you have
edit: it's more accurate if you type "xxxx wrote" with the quotation marks. i revised my numbers below to reflect this change.
moltkewarding: 3651 posts, quoted 2398= 1.52
kwark: 6367 posts quoted 2737 = 2.33
savio: 911 posts quoted 787 = 1.16 (holy shit :|. savio is a pretty good poster but a lot of this can be attributed to his conservative positions on the current events threads)
Choros: 390 posts 206 quotes = 1.89
jibba: 5242 posts 2770 quotes = 1.89
ahrara_: 1473 posts and 824 quotes = 1.79 (BRAG BRAG BRAG)
charliemurphy: 12074 posts, 4188 quotes = 2.88
blackstar: 3029 posts, 1364 quotes = 2.22
raithed: 5363 posts, 1231 quotes = 4.36 (O_O)
folca: 1767 posts, 520 quotes = 3.40
in other news, it's sunday evening, plans fell through, and i have too much time on my hands. how you doing?

Not bad.. and yourself?
Hopefully I get quoted for this post =).
|
do me! XD
i'm probably like 90% !
|
im' quoted 1457times............ gg..........
|
i thought charlie was a high content poster? his posts always get like 5 pages at least.
|
i think his post count was frozen for a while
|
So... what is the point of this blog?
|
i slept with your mother last night, that's the point

Omg I have a terrible ratio haha: 2.30! I like the idea though and it seems to work reasonably well.

They get high content because they're stupid and everyone argues over them
His highest content posts are the ones where he argues that all this illegal shit should be legal and that he's a badass, and the one where he talks about stealing someone's phone and how to use it

4.3 ratio.
Uh oh.

Mine's less than 1 and I don't think this works at all. People are likely to quote you to say you're wrong or an idiot more than anything else. 
|
doh, I was hoping to make the list of your favorite posters 
EDIT: gonna start quoting myself more often

that's a good point, asshole.
seriously tho, lemme revise my original numbers with motbob's suggestion.

You might find some trends but overall this is a very unreliable way of determining the quality of a poster...

I agree with what you wrote about me. I post mostly on political topics that spark debates and most TLers disagree with me and we debate rather than just post comments (so we quote a lot). I am mostly a debater as opposed to a random poster.

i think there's a pretty strong correlation. if the moderators could compile a list of people with the highest ratios, it'd be a good place to start to weed out the morons.

i found a theory about bad posters too.
a low ratio of good posts to bad posts is pretty indicative of poor posting.

Does this make me a horrible poster or a good poster? If its a good poster, this system is blatantly false, cause I was banned until like a week ago.

Someone should check all of carlodajin's accounts. I would wager that he has a pretty low ratio.

Let's see... 1909 posts, 40 quotes for me. Ouch.

You fail to take nested quotes into account. If I make a comment, and a someone responds and quotes with an utterly retarded comment, all responses directed towards the reply will also have "CDRdude wrote" in a nested quote, even if they weren't directly replying to me. I'm not sure if you'll be able to account for that without looking at each individual reply. Also, if someone quotes a discussion that I participated in, the nested quote spoiler would contain multiple iterations of "CDRdude wrote". Oh, and this post ads 3 to the "CDRdude wrote", and only 1 to my post count, so it's further skewing my statistics.

That's actually better than I thought. I never thought about myself as a crappy poster, but I have a tendency to post random crap that noone really gives a shit about.

Oh dear. I think that I have the highest ratio on the site. I don't think that this is a particularly good way of measuring.
For example, if you quote yourself in a discussion/quote thread, that's obviously going to make your ratio better.
Or maybe I'm just a really really bad poster. Entirely possible.
|
This would make much more sense if the ratio was inverted. Typical economist...
|
mines quoted 60x of 41 threads = 0.68. im awesome.
|
I was browsing through old topics where people quoted me.
My findings: I was a shitty poster back in the day. And I couldn't distinguish between the words progamer and programmer.....
|
Big posts rarely get quoted, while pretty shitty posts, one liners or just "lol"s get quoted pretty often.

I think it is because you post a lot in LR threads.
Although I did get quoted 21 times in the SKT vs eSTRO thread, no idea why. I think that if you say inflammatory things you would have a good post to quote ratio. I figured if I posted things like "Lol Boxer sucks" that I could have a pretty good ratio.
Mine is 2490 : 773 = 3.22
Not so great.
Edit: my post had a random smiley in it.

I come pretty close to losing this with 5.0 something

I really don't get this. The more you're quoted, the better a poster you are? There are plenty of shitty posters that people quote just to be like "Haha what a loser." or something of the like. This really doesn't make much sense at all.

i'm wasting my 793rd post to say i've been quoted 270 times

Actually (yes, I did think about this and come back) it's at least partly because I had a username change. Those will really screw this number up, as anytime i was quoted with my old name wouldn't count. (I probably had about 1k posts with my first username, 3k posts by my second username, and now i'm at my third username).

Well, his ratio is actually the only one on the site that is getting much much better with time. I'm at 11, and I think that's the highest of any user with a decent number of posts.

oh, cool. I think that the other problem with this system is that *gasp* it doesn't actually mean anything. I think that a lot of the higher numbers are coming from people who have > 1k posts, and a lot of those users have never been banned.
It's a pretty fun exercise though.

why the hate?
seems to me the posters who are generally known to contribute posts with a lot of value score lower, while assholes like hawk get 3s or higher. not that everybody who scores high is an asshole. some of them are really nice guys and contribute in other ways that help the community. and a quote doesn't always mean you made a valuable contribution... it could just mean you're very inflammatory. But there seems to be a strong trend. i think everyone can agree that if everybody had lower ratios, the quality of posts would in general increase and be a lot more interesting to read.
further, an overall low average means that there is more dialogue going on, rather than just people posting one way feedback. the reason i like posting on forums is coz it's fun reading what people say in response to my posts. a low average ratio would suggest a higher rate of member retention, and a faster growing community as a result.
btw you're an asshole hawk, just so you get the message.

381 : 135
2.82
Seeing as that isn't especially low, I'm going to jump on the "your logic is flawed" bandwagon. xD
TBH it really is. Your idea of "good" could be a complete troll. It's a good way of identifying "notable" posters though, those whose ideas are exceptionally good OR bad enough to warrant response.
|
There should be some more factors to this ratio, for example I should get some credit for the LR threads that I make.
For example my current ratio is 2490 : 773 = 3.22. Now if I get an extra 'quote' point for each time someone posts in my LR thread I have 5951 points so my new ratio is .41
:D

See I am a good poster, and you all think I'm an idiot.
Anyways, this is obviously not accurate, because people can quote you for a variety of reasons; when they agree as well as when they disagree etc. I'm sure someone pointed this out.

I don't think you like to hurt people, its just the economist coming out in you.

Of course, you can't do the test on people with very low post counts because there is no significance (in the statistical sense).
It probably becomes a pretty good estimator at around 300 posts (just a guess).
Also, am I so far the most quoted poster (per post)?
/ego fed. Thx.
Also, ahrara, I had another idea of evaluating people's contribution or "goodness" or whatever you wanna call it. I think that if someone has created more than say...20 threads or so, look at the mean number of responses to that thread. That would tell you something about how good of threads they make. Most dumb threads get ignored after about a day. Other interesting ones like this, get 7 pages and beyond very quickly.
Although, we might all get whooped by agame (Election thread), and whoever made the "high thread" and the dota thread. LoL. and some other threads that I am sure other people could name.

remember that facebook thread where that guy tried to "show off his 200 friends" or something? that was pretty stupid, but got a lot of responses because of that.
and man.. LR threads win
oh, and just because you start a thread, doesnt mean you're a good contributor or even the main contributor. most of the time it's an argument/discussion between a few others

Checking post count.
1837 quotes.
4029/1837 = 2.19

conversely if you write really stupid shit you'll get quoted as well

the quote ratio should show posting distribution by forums/thread type, rather than the poster's own ability to generate discussion. aside from a few popular posters, whether a particular post is quoted and discussed may just be determined whether the post occurs in a discussion thread.
although it does not reflect ability to create discussion per se, it does reveal actual discussion generating performance in the past. the trouble is that this performance can be a result of choices independent of posting quality.

I don't think that quoting sonuvbob once will help you much- He has so many posts that just 1 more quote won't move his ratio around that much.

LR threads don't really increase your quote count, they just increase your post count.

or if you're having a discussion with another person, go make sure you quote the whole discussion thread. The whole thing is moot though, as there's been shown to be some correlation, but no causation, which makes this kind of useless.

search for "spenguin wrote" including the quotes. Scroll down to figure out how many results you have. Take your post count, divide that by the number that you just researched, And you have your results. The lower the number you get, then better poster you seem to be (apparently anyway, i'm not sure how many people would agree. obviously the best way is if someone remembers something that you wronte. Then obviously you were a good poster (or you have no idea what you're talking about, and everyone is trying to correct you >.>)

If you don't get quoted all the time it just means you're white noise, owned.

I think what is more apropriate is how many times people mention you, because that doesn't necessarily include quoting you.
I've been mentioned 3498 times, which is almost as much as I have posts, so I'm clearly the best poster on tl and probably I'm gonna have an even lower than 1.00 ratio soon.
lololol
3499 now :D

It's unlikely that when people use lololol, they do it the exact name number that his name is. He probably does have some false positives, but not as many as you would think.
