The (Bumpy) Staircase of Wasted Space and Bandwidth

The problem with the "list" is that it ranks you by post count, which is tabulated by "useful" posts (the green section). Thus being at the top is not necessarily a bad thing, as it means you've made more useful posts (absolute, not relative).

What would really make it a "shame" list would be to rank it by the "blue" or General Chat post count.

Or maybe to rank it by ratio of "useless" to "useful" posts.

Yes, I've tried sorting by the following:

• by total time
• by useful time
• by useful^2/total
• by (2.5*useful)-total

The results were interesting.

That's really cool to look at. I post a lot in posting games, but I've tried to contain myself and only post in Assassinator and a few others.

That's what I'm working on too.

When I first came on, I was obsessed with posting games. But I've moved away from most of them, which I'm really happy about. Hopefully I'll make my green bar larger than my blue bar.

I stoped posting in the posting games. The only ones that are worth looking at are ones like "you know when you've been in SO too long." or if u are into the assassinations; i used to be but i don't read them anymore. I also stoped posting in genral chat really, ever since i clicked "mark all threads read" by accident and got really mad b/c i was really diligent in reading everything. Now its mostly event or competition forum for me.

I read General Chat but not really Posting Games. Looking at my blue bar I feel like such a spammer, but not as much as some people...

[fmtiger124]

the issue is thast some general posts can be useful. Also how'd u find out how many general chat posts people have?
