Post your Thanks Ratios

Thomas_S_Hunterson · 2008-11-16 18:19:36

Ok, Who's the most helpful/funniest person on boards? Number of thanks received divided by post count, highest ratio wins... For me, it's a measly 0.02572 or 2.572%

Can't see it working very well. The thanks option hasn't been around as long as boards.

Should be 2.4%, you multiply by a hundred to turn the proportion into a percentage:p

It doesn't really work because thanks only came in a while ago. Someone like Victor will be at a slight disadvantage because he amassed three and a half million billion posts before the thanks system came in. You would have to only count posts from after the thanks system came in or else the results would be badly skewed.

It looks a lot more impressive than it actually is.

That's your total thanks:thanked posts ratio. The OP is asking about total thanks:total posts.

Sounds like you divided your postcount by number of thanks instead of the other way round.

Or I just made up a number.

Real figure is 8.07 although this post will probably drop it down to 8.06999999999999. Dammit!
