Klaynos Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 I'm not sure that would work as the post count is so much larger than then rep amount. Perhaps multiplying the two totals as opposed to summing them may work... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michel123456 Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Keeping track today:Michel has 3,324 posts divided by rep 274= 12,13 So on the average every 12 posts i get a positive point. Compaired to my previous result, it is getting worse. I'll chech again in the future if it has stabilized. In any way progression is not geometric.

Moontanman Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah, our old system was completely different. It got to the point where swansont was so powerful, he was nearly a god when it comes to giving reputation. One click from him could make or break your rep. Yes but the Cap'n tossed him out of heaven and the rest is history... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNow Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Keeping track today: Michel has 3,324 posts divided by rep 274= 12,13 So on the average every 12 posts i get a positive point. Compaired to my previous result, it is getting worse. Of course it is. You're submitting more individual posts each day, and most of those posts don't receive any rep response whatsoever... neither positive nor negative. The numerator is growing as the denominator remains largely unchanged, hence the "rep per post" number is "getting worse." Yes but the Cap'n tossed him out of heaven and the rest is history...Perhaps I should change my name to Perseus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably Google, Bing and a bunch of other search engines. They visit everything online frequently. I don't think that the NSA's search will show up on our page view counter.

CaptainPanic Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 In this case all members should have a huge number of visitors. Well, you filled out more fields than most people, so perhaps the extra information attracts the search engines more? But people can be curious too. Maybe you write more provocative, and people just want to know who you are? I checked a couple of other seniors, and their views also number many thousands.

iNow Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 One is a count of the total number of times your user profile has been opened by someone. The other is a list of the last few people to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daedalus Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) I don't think that the NSA's search will show up on our page view counter. The NSA just have a complete copy of the entire forum on their server. That's good to know. Perhaps they'll charge a small nominal fee to restore the server in the event SFN and its backups are no longer accessible or destroyed. hmm, kind of weird since my profile views are far more greater than visitors by the thousands. What's weird about it? The count of profile views is for the entire history of having your profile. Surely you wouldn't want the latest visitors list be equal to your profile views. I've got 11,627 profile views, which would make the visitors list needlessly long : ) On a different note, I joined SFN two years ago from today. So I guess I need to buy some fireworks and celebrate my two year SFN anniversary And now for some statistics: I have made 365 posts over the two years I have been with SFN. (What a coincidence to have made 365 posts exactly in two years) Out of those posts, 54 of them have received reputation and my total reputation is 81. On average, I got 5813.5 views of my profile page each year. On average, I make 1 post every other day (0.5 posts per day) The percentage of posts that received reputation is 14.79% My average reputation per reputable post is 1.5 Multiplying the percentage of posts that received reputation by my average reputation per reputable post yields a score of 22.19, which is the same as dividing my reputation by the total number of posts I've made and then multiplying by 100.

EdEarl Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 That's good to know.

Right, their facilities are secured behind fences and guards, often inside military bases with fences and guards. Since all of us do not have security clearances, anyone that asked about a copy might end up detained, interrogated, and on the Homeland Security no-fly list.

Daedalus Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) well that would mean each visitor has viewed my profile 200-250 times each person. to me that does not make sense. edit- i'm wondering if the views are from java script ( hover over name and short profile comes up) and the visitors are the ones who actually clicked on your name to view your profile. that to me makes sense and lines up with the numbers. No... Your visitor list has been truncated to show a much smaller and more recent list of the people who viewed your profile. The NSA just have a complete copy of the entire forum on their server.

Phi for All Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 lol got to love the average minded. lol when wrong and offended, just resort to negative points. I never give a negative point to someone for being wrong. I do give them to people who are being unnecessarily uncivil, and who respond to a request for clarity with derision and obfuscation. It's what I did with your post above. It's so very easy to be civil in response to an honest question. It's almost... simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypervalent_iodine Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 ! Moderator Note Cut it out. Firstly, this nonsense about profile views is wildly off-topic. krash661, you were not making yourself clear and expecting people to read your mind is just ridiculous. Your profile view list does not include people who sign in anonymously and it does not include people who are not signed in. There. Mystery solved. Secondly, how many times do staff have to reprimand you for insulting other members before it registers that it simply isn't acceptable behavior here? It will not be tolerated. I have / am removing all of the off-topic posts. Do not bring it up in this thread again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdEarl Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 (edited) EDIT: I deleted a paragraph that was about the posts cut out by the moderator. tyvm hypervalent_iodine I believe that, “If you can't say anything nice, at least have the decency to be vague.” ― Susan Andersen I rarely give a negative reputation point. I reserve them for the most egregious offenders. They are a virtual slap in the face, and I don't go around slapping people in the face. A positive reputation point is a virtual pat on the back, and I probably don't give enough of them. Edited July 3, 2013 by EdEarl 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder maybe the reason is the mystical code at the end of my name (123456). Why would you expect that? Members who have just joined should have the same number of profile views as someone who has been a member for 5 years? Or 10? I don't see how that is a reasonable inference.

In this case profile views may be a function of time too. But Moontanman who is member 1 year longer than I am has less profile views than me. So it is not a direct function, something else is going on. And he has almost the double number of posts than me. AND he is funnier.

swansont Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 I suspect humans look at profile pages, too, and that may be prompted by what is posted rather than the volume of posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND he is funnier. But you post more controversial stuff, which I think makes it more likely that people are interested in checking up on your profile. In addition the network of friends can lead people to your page too, some people visiting your page recently have also been to mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
