A few conclusions can be drawn.
Despite his reputation @codinghorror is clearly the most congenial of the team, giving a Like to 13% of his all time reads However @zogstrip seems to be in a particularly good mood recently and is closing in terms of propensity to like. If you get a like from @eviltrout treasure it; they are few and far between.
In terms of likability, @techAPJ leads the way getting more than 2 likes for every topic/post entry. @neil has suddenly become popular - new aftershave? @eviltrout attracts a high number of likes, perhaps from users trying to encourage him to reciprocate.
Having seen how dangerous this information can be in the wrong hands, I won’t be publishing it on our site.
More seriously, this reminds me of things we have yet to do:
the default user page tab should be your “greatest hits”, things people liked the most that you posted in the last (n) days, or have the interval auto select like /top does
you should be able to tell, somewhere, the people that you like the most, and that like you the most.
we probably should show a last (n) days like count on people’s user cards somewhere, since it is the primary metric we care about
User Stats are my preferred 1.3 feature! Because it says a lot about people… And how the engage each others! Please improve it in this way
It push people to make the best, always
I’d like to echo the sentiment that this data is not dangerous at all to me. I may give fewer likes than some, but they still enhance my use of the site quite a bit: I often find on other forums I frequent that I want to hit like rather than post a reply.
In fact, I love the fact that my likes are more valuable than those from @zogstrip.
If by the most congenial, you mean, automatically likes any and all bug reports because of raisins… yes.
The stats on this meta forum don’t really signify the same thing as they would on a regular forum because this one is being dogfooded as a bugtracker and using likes to measure importance (or something).
So here likes are a combined measure of likability as well as how useful/contributing to Discourse’s state of being that their posts are.
<so maybe it kind of says something that the certain someone has spammed the crap out of it yet has such a low likes to posts ratio…?>
And like @sam, i’m not sure what exactly is dangerous about knowing how often a person hits a heart-shaped button on a forum. You’re afraid people would know what members on your forum are active and not jerks, all without having to read many threads?
On my forum, there are some people whose content I won’t “like” no matter how good it may be, especially the guy who has bragged to me about how many “likes” he gets, and that therefore the disparity between his public expectations of others and his own public behavior is non-existent.
you all
