Just thought I would share...awesome job everyone, keep up the hard work

And for those not on the list there are plenty that were close to making it there, well done!!

That's a lot of happy campers - a nice way to neutralise the small, but sometimes vocal minority of disgruntled ones. Thanks!

haha Ali, you can refer to this next time someone feels their nose is out of joint

Thanks Ford. Those are impressive numbers.

Viewing from other side, the most efficient helper is Alkey: 1.2 rep/1 post

None of it is an exact science: those of us who moderate and administrate will, inevitably, have a higher post ratio, and that's unavoidable. The vast majority of rep we earn, however, is for solving problems. Nevertheless, as I said earlier, this counter balances nicely the small, but sometimes very loud voices of dissent and displeasure.

The latest update on this table (maybe I need to revise this on a quarterly basis, its getting kinda wide now)

Incidentally, I see that Alkey seems to have vanished. Does anyone know why??

Don't know, but his posting habits have always been sporadic. He seems last to have been around in August, although his last post that I can find was in July. That does seem quite a long time, I agree.

Will take a look, Pete.

Latest update. Bo_Ry gets added to the top 10, but AlKey slips off. Table is starting to get too wide, I think it's time to start dropping off earlier dates

Thanks for that
That shows the position, but not the actual score - still a good representation though

If I have access to the rep scores, I will make sure to add that to the table.

I think Im the only 1 who has access to that info (the Mods may, not too sure)

I know I think just knowing the ranking is useful enough.

Rep scores are not visible to regular members or mods on the main site.

Anyone, though, can sort the membership list by rep earned, even though the scores aren't visible, so your top 600 can be seen by anyone on that page.

Given it's an Excel Forum, thought I might just do this ...

I can't keep up with Moderator posting levels (and rep that seems to go with it )



Think I might retire before I drop another place

Lies, damned lies and statistics!!!

Today is not helping to keep my post count down - too many touchy punters!

And I've got far too much time on my hands now I'm retired and the weather's not good enough for me to be outside gardening ...

Hahaha. FWIW... I think I have got one (1... singular) rep point as a result of Forum Moderation. My problem is that, with Lockdown in its various iterations & guises, I have too much time on my hands (How sad is that...). With the imminent prospect of 100,000 cases of the plague per day in a few weeks, that's unlikely to change for another few months.

I've had a handful of rep points for doing my job, and once in a blue moon I get a negative one for the same, so it probably balances out in the long run. Most are thanks for helping with a solution.

Ah well, I just can't keep up with that volume of rep, wherever it comes from. At my best, I was doing 10 or 11 posts a day … the forum says my average is about 8 but recent stats look like around 6 a day.

It's a shame not everyone gives +rep but I guess that's the same for everyone … unless the charm school failed me

I don't do it for rep - far more important to me that I've helped. I do expect a quick thanks in the thread, though.

I agree about this view of it - there are some whose rep to post ratio is rightly incredible. Bo_Ry is one of a handful of exceptional contributors at the moment.

No idea about the asterisk!

Pete, It's 'cos you're special!!!

I don't do it for the rep either, but I do get satisfaction from the "public" recognition. I was made up when I first saw "TMS has a reputation beyond repute". And it was nice being number 1 for a while, especially taking over from shg, who I have always admired.

Pete … don't know, maybe you're a star?

At 1 point, I was notching up over 1000 posts a month - that was when I sat at a security desk and had tons of time to spend here. Now, I spend maybe an hour a day on here and often most of that is spent dealing with administrative matters and disgruntled members, so I spend only a small fraction of my time on here now

Pete, I also dont know why that asterix is there - but I believe it indicates just what a star you are (it has been removed now )

@Snook: you need to give rep to other people before you can go back and give rep again.

I passed here by accident.

When I look at the comments, it sounds like a "rest home" of veterans.
In my opinion, the last 6 columns in #23 are more relevant then the others, their activity in the last 9 months.
I didn't want to be unpolite or rude, the numbers are impressive.

I think that's meant as a compliment to those of is in the top ten, so thank you. However, there are many more members who make valuable contributions, so it comes nowhere close to telling the whole story.

bsalv. Hahaha.

It might also reflect the fact that we lack the imagination to do anything else. But it does (to reference that famous fictional Belgian...) keep the little grey cells active, and (hopefully) ward off senility during lockdowns and miserable weather!

you forgot mentioning 1 thing, we still have the worldrecord for "the longest period without a government", 541 days.
(Northern Ireland had more days, but was disqualified by Guinness Book of Records, because it's not a real country).
Yes, we can !!!
And of course, the town "Puurs" is actually 1 of the 2 productionsites worldwide for the Pfizer-Covid-vaccin.
So 1 thing to be proud off and 1 thing surrealistic, we're only patriotic when the Red Devils (football) win.
All off topic in an "off topic"-subforum, of course.

You forgot to mention the record in most PFOS polluting factory 3M in Antwerp.

Indeed... However, it feels like a real country every time I step out of my front door (Belfast), especially when it's freezing cold and the rain is lashing in horizontally.

sorry for my remark on Northern Ireland.
When I looked at your profile, i tought you lived (as nomad) in the Republic Ireland

No problem. Its national identity partly depends on which history book you were given in school. Since Brexit, I feel much more Irish than before.

Here is the latest update (hope it comes out OK, MY desktop died on me, trying to get a new(ish) laptop set up)
