And here's another one for you, ShakeNbake

In a locked thread, you posted the following:

You learned? Evidently you didn’t, you insufferable little twit.

So, you totalled up my post count and figured out how many times I posted in the Pit. Did you bother to see what I posted about? Let me give you an idea …

I started one thread welcoming John Corrado as a mod.
I started one thread about a group name for trolls.
I started one thread to clear up things for GNome.
I started one thread about myself and my employer.
I started one thread about a co-worker.
I started one thread about squirrels.
I started one thread about not liking autumn.
I started one thread to apologize to Alphagene.
I started one thread about not posting to another thread.
I started one thread about board ops.

Ten threads initiated. Only two of those could be taken to be flames of another poster or posters.

Have I taken part in other threads when someone is getting flamed? Yep. And I regret not one pixel.

In that same locked thread you also said:

(Emphasis mine)

I registered Sep 26, '99. Is that a “couple of months” to you?

My current post count is 1,614. Does that make me “senior?” Not by a long shot. Besides, post count is irrelevant. There are numerous posters on this board with post counts lower than mine that are erudite, intelligent, interesting, funny…you know–all the things you aren’t.

Then, again referring to your earlier statement:

See my earlier statement. The only person I ever “escalated” was GNome. Until now.

Because you, in your inestimably minute wisdom, chose to advise a new poster to avoid me. Rather, I’d advise someone to be cautious in taking advice from someone who registered Aug 15, 2000 and hasn’t yet figured out how to keep his head out of his ass when posting to a message board.

In the troll name thread, you said:

Nice back and fill job. You post a stupid message in a condolence thread, then you try and claim that, gee whiz, you were just kidding. Then you follow it up with that limp disclaimer. It doesn’t wash.

I did, though, respond to your post by saying:

Well, you’re on the radar now, you putz. Happy?

Anyone else notice this in ShakeNBake’s post?

(Bolding mine)

In that list who is in second place?

Interesting, nee?

Yeah, I noticed, and would have posted a snot-gram to that thread if it weren’t locked. Came here, figuring someone would smack he/she/it around. Rysdad, glad you didn’t disappoint.

They have “high post counts” and think that makes them “senior members”?

This guy knows jack shit. For the past few months, it’s mostly been the people with LOW post counts who kept demanding that the board be run differently. The so-called “senior members” are always the ones who like to kick back and enjoy the boards.

Shakey’s just a dumbshit.

I’ve got one of the highest ppd ratios. As a result I’ve got a decently high post count, 2100-something. Yet I’ve only been here since June. Does that make me a senior member? Hell no.

Yeah, I post a decent amount in the pit. Why? Because there are a decent number of things in here that are of interest to me, so I post. Do you have a problem with that?

I’ve probably got you all beat. I got 2/3 of my posts right here, and the rest are test threads, which I won’t be doing much, so the ratio will grow.

Forgot to add in the posts when my tag was bongel.
Runs to over 80% in the pit.

Wow, I’m like the Pit King. How was this determined, anyways? Did you actually look at all 117 of the Pit threads I’ve posted in and count up my posts?

i am really new here too, and do not have any “issues” about how this board is run. my post count is not high, and
since i do not act like a troll or a putz, i have not been flamed to a smoking crisp yet.

youSEEM to HAVE a LOT of time on your hands, why did you bother to show us the ratios of pit posts to regular posts. what are you trying to prove?

What he’s tryin to prove is in the quote in the OP.
Sound like a dubious concept, but it is clearly up there.

What I like is the idea of a new statistic to derive.
I’m starting a IMHO thread to start a show and tell.
Should be fun.

My ratio is 1:20, somewhat in the middle of his list.
