Broken Post Count?

Post by Galahad »

Are posts counts broken?

It says I've made 120 but when I search for my posts I've made well over 200?

And whenever I post it doesn't go up?

theres useful posts and posts
basically the 120 is the useful ones and the rest are made in general chat/posting games

What counts as useful? I spent 30 minutes on a multi-paragraph advice thing for crime and my post count didnt go up?

Basically useful posts are anything outside of general chat

EDIT: team forums are also not useful, but they used to be

That's a pretty good ratio... I've got 69/1708...

You're right... The probability of randomly selecting a "helpful" post is greater for me than for you.

Now run a two-proportion z-interval on the difference between proportion of helpful posts between regular users and non-regular users (e.g. admin, mod, etc.) ;)

Are you using a simple random sample??
If you are considering the average over all regular members, how would you filter posts?
Finally, are you sure that you do not want a 2-sample t-test of average proportion helpful posts between the two groups (excluding 0-post members)?

Yes, I mean a t-test. And sure, a simple random sample would work.
