Weren't "greenies" converted in the changeover?
Yes, we had rartng score before (reputation?) and it only went so high...a lot of us maxed out there, obviously due to a severe infection of awesomeness.I just want to point out that reaction scores are relatively new so longer term members had a lot of posts that people couldn’t ‘react to’ when they were posted. I have 14,000 posts and 5,000 reactions (roughly). - I don’t know how many of those posts were after the change.
That’s a good question. Almost everyone had maxed their reputation before so I don’t know if Mike would have bothered.Weren't "greenies" converted in the changeover?
Just checked and like I thought, nobody likes me!!The data never lies!
Don't confuse reactions to messages, or the lack thereof, as involving the messenger.Just checked and like I thought, nobody likes me!!
This is an interesting stat to me, as it indicates how much other forum members value your posts here, on average. The data is on your profile page.
Mine is currently 799 Messages and 600 Reaction Score, for a percentage of 75%.
As a point of comparison, justnum is at 18,123 messages and 1,986 reaction score, for a percentage of 11%.
I’m sure there are members higher than 75% - can anyone find them?
Now he tells me.If you want a high ratio, post jokes in the joke thread and controversial stuff in NPR. Don't bother with actual pool stuff.
Maybe I should take this advice, so I can feel better about myself someday.If you want a high ratio, post jokes in the joke thread and controversial stuff in NPR. Don't bother with actual pool stuff.
It doesn't help.Maybe I should take this advice, so I can feel better about myself someday.
Wow, it has been about ten years since anyone suggested that reaction score is even relevant to who the best posters are on our forum. Reaction score is, at best, nearly meaningless and is probably completely meaningless.This is an interesting stat to me, as it indicates how much other forum members value your posts here, on average.

Jay Helfert, who gets my vote for the best poster on this forum, is under 30%. Bob Jewett, another superstar in these AZB parts, is under 50%. Case closed.
Even though my "reaction score" is "high," I've never thought of it in terms of an indicator of "best" anything. I think it measures something...I just don't know what that would be. Could be a traffic driving indicator, a Chinese social credit score...who knows? I would say that Jay and Bob are certainly worthy contenders for the title.Wow, it has been about ten years that anyone suggested that reaction score is even relevant to who the best posters are on our forum.

Mrs. Biloxi Boy, a retired psych prof who taught statistics, has tried to teach me this stuff for years, and I still don't understand it. I do know enough about it to know that the gathering of raw data is only the beginning and then all sorts of scientific and mathematical mumbo jumbo must be brought to bear.
Mrs. BB is presently away doing serious mall time, but when she returns, I'll ask that she weigh in. Meanwhile, someone in the AZB crew must have a similar experience and can save me from once again having to sit through the "I don't know why you don't understand . . ." lecture. Anyone?
