Help finding some monthly site stats about topics and user trust levels

DeanMarkTaylor · April 14, 2016, 9:58pm

Here is a “Topic Participation” query, someone else is going to want to check it though.

Data Explorer: topic-participation.dcquery (v4).json (7.9 KB)

EDIT #1 Updated to handle including rows for month when data doesn’t exist.
EDIT #2 Updated to check for responses within X days (default 15)
EDIT #3 Updated to:
include posts information
separated exclusions for “topics created by user from group” and “posts created by user from group”
impersonate a particular users view of topics - use an admin user to see everything.
optionally restrict results to that month (-1) for responses or check for replies within X days.
support output of response rate as percentage ready for Excel.
WARNING: You might want to look further down this thread to see if anybody has sanity checked the query.

Parameters

impersonate
Username to view of topics as - use an admin username like system user to see everything.
exclude_groups_topics
list of user groups (separated by a comma) to exclude topics from
enter a single comma (,) to not exclude any.
if the group doesn’t exist, no exclusion will occur (check your spelling)
exclude_groups_replies
list of user groups (separated by a comma) to exclude replies from
enter a single comma (,) to not exclude any.
if the group doesn’t exist, no exclusion will occur.
exclude_category_slugs
list of category slugs (separated by a comma) to exclude topics from
enter a single comma (,) to not exclude any.
reply_within_x_days
Set to -1 to restrict responses check to that month (default).
Set to 0 to restrict responses to the same day topic was created.
Set to 15 to count as response up to 15 day after initial topic creation even if 15 days is outside of that month.
pct_multiplier and pct_places
Set pct_multiplier to 1 and pct_places to 6 to get percent values ready for Excel.
Set pct_multiplier to 100 and pct_places to 1 to display as readable percentage values (default).

If you don’t want to use any exclusions just put a comma (,) in that input box.

So it should look a little like this:

So the columns are:

posts
all qualifying posts from topics accessible to impersonated user after exclusion of both users and categories.
new_topic_posts
posts made to topics created that month.
old_topic_posts
posts made to topics created before that month.
topics
all qualifying topics after exclusion of both users and categories.
no_response
count of topics that didn’t receive a reply from that type of user
e.g. a staff member might have replied, but if you excluded staff it would be counted as no_response if that topic wasn’t created itself by an excluded user.
a topic created by an excluded user is excluded anyway.
response
count of topics that did receive a reply the month the topic was created from a non-excluded user.
response_rate
percentage rate of response - higher the better
