-NaN% posters and hamster smurfing!
-
Either one, really. (But not both at the same time, because that would be tacky)
-
A last place badge would be cool, too. (Except it would go to some user who has never ever posted and thus wouldn't use it as a title.)
-
i like pink.
;-P
-
Do you want it spraying pink? Or green?
*suspicious look* If I pick a not-unreasonable color will you make it that color?
What color is the most TDWTFy?
:suspect: is the closest emoji we have to ":suspicious look:". I am both disappointed and happy.
-
I suppose I could contrive a 'just missed out' which might have more meaning...
-
A last place badge would be cool, too. (Except it would go to some user who has never ever posted and thus wouldn't use it as a title.)
It could be a mandatory title! (Except how do you decide which of the 500 people who've never posted, get it?)
-
-
perhaps instead of last place, penultimatefrist (for the #2 slot) and antepenultimate frist(for #3)
but that's just getting crazy!
-
I'm surprised I made the 10% too.
-
I look forward to the populist backlash.
-
Can't we just create hundreds of accounts and have them make one post per month, so that everyone else automatically becomes a top 5% poster?
Edit: whoa, your avatar and long name seem to have changed in the middle of the thread
-
well.... there's an app for that.
not that i condone it or anything....
-

Yeah, I noticed that. New stuff after I made the change shows the changes, but Discurse doesn't go back and alter the existing posts. If you refresh, everything will show the new information.
I was going to get a screenshot but I didn't think of it until I closed all the tabs I had where that happened.
-
I would place money that several hundred of @FrostCat's posts are in the topic(s) that he's arguing with @Rhywden
-
Edit: whoa, your avatar and long name seem to have changed in the middle of the thread
it's a thing i do on occasion.
and discourse handles everything

-
Several hundred might be a bit of an exaggeration.
-
and discourse handles avatar/profile changes weird.
It actually makes sense--when the topic is already loaded, new content is dynamically added, but they didn't bother going back and hanzoing existing ones.
Which actually is probably an oversight, given that it will show ninja and hanzo edits in real time.
Anyone wanna pop on over to meta.d and file a bug report?
-
@accalia Is Doing It Wrong™
-
Go count them, it's probably at least 200.
-
I was a bit surprised I made 25%. Then I realized there must be more occasional posters here than I realized, and I mostly post in qualifying topics...
I'm pretty sure I don't have any posts at all in the Three Threads™
-
I'm pretty sure I don't have any posts at all in the Three Threads™
..... @pjh, do you happen to have a query ready to go that shows ones posts in those threads?
-
Pretty sure. Not absolutely sure.
-
but we could be absolutely sure! :-D
-
I'm tempted to move this thread so only us stuffy Leaders can see it.
-
Can't you just append
?username_filters=pleegwat
to the thread's URL?
-
but are all the 5%ers leaders?
that would be a bit mean to @blakeyrat if we had a thread about him and he couldn't see it ( i think he's the only 5%er that's not a leader)
-
i could i guesssssssssss
no! bad creeper!~ go away!~
-
The lagginess and slowness of the site and the 503s are killing me urgh.
-
but if we can have the bots get an automatic ... say 7 day ban if they make it to the 5% badge i think that would be hilarious!
-
i'm not noticing many 503s.... and sockbot is currently averaging 3.6 requests/minute so i doubt my instance is causing issues...
-
-
Wow, it doesn't take much to qualify for top 5%, does it ...
-
but are all the 5%ers leaders?
that would be a bit mean to @blakeyrat if we had a thread about him and he couldn't see it ( i think he's the only 5%er that's not a leader)
I don't think that he would care.
-
well the lowest of the top 5% has 1/3rd the number of posts as the #1.....
so not really? I'm curious how the 10 and 25% ranges shake out.
-
probably not, but i wasn't going to be mean. besides if i post in the lounge it doesn't count for 2^10
-
Go count them, it's probably at least 200.
Maybe you'd like to do that for me?
@pjh, would you care to write a query for that? :)
-
Wow, it doesn't take much to qualify for top 5%, does it ...
#ten in that list is 2/3 of the entire post count I made in 9 years on CS, and I was a fairly-high-ranked poster there.
-
Can't we just create hundreds of accounts and have them make one post per month, so that everyone else automatically becomes a top 5% poster?
Nope. Already taken account of in the query; what you propose - as stated - won't work.
Wow, it doesn't take much to qualify for top 5%, does it ...
There are (as of the backup this morning) 210 qualifying users who've posted in the past month. There's got to be 10 of them who do qualify...
@pjh, would you care to write a query for that? :)
Thread id?

FrostCat:
@pjh, would you care to write a query for that?Thread id?
Can't figure it out--thread names have changed too many times.
-
Link to the thread will do...
-
Link to the thread will do...
I just went trolling through the thread list and couldn't figure out which thread it was. I don't know what the current name is, and I went into a bunch and scrolled through trying to find posts I recognized.
I am not going to try to scroll through my own post history because of the browser-hang issue. (Even if they fixed it. Those posts must be 3-400 back.)
-
It was @FrostCat's gun thread that you were avoiding:
http://what.thedailywtf.com/t/gun-company-owner-fired-for-owning-gun/3986
@FrostCat has 82 posts there.
-
That's only one of two, there was another one with a chemistry lab that they were bitching in too.
-
Yeah, but that was the second one. The first one, after the argument burned out, was the one that afterwards, had variations on "we're making shit jokes now" in the title for a while, but like I said I can't figure out which thread it is NOW based on title in the amount of time I'm willing to spend.
-
Right..that was @Rhywden's thread, but the chemistry stuff leaked over there. And @FrostCat only has 12 posts there:
http://what.thedailywtf.com/t/measuring-software-for-schools/3621/1
-
Really? I would've sworn I posted more. Oh well.
Would you like to borrow my new badge?
-
but if we can have the bots get an automatic ... say 7 day ban if they make it to the 5% badge i think that would be hilarious!
And the person who summoned them for the post that pushed them over the boundary.
Filed under: Yeah yeah, bad ideas thread is elsewhere.
-
"we're making shit jokes now"
Ohhh...didn't remember you guys going at it over there...hmmm
http://what.thedailywtf.com/t/windows-9-appreciation-thread/3833/1
@FrostCat has 126 posts in there.
-
And in that thread, it looks like minimal amounts of you yelling at @Rhywden. You were mostly yelling at other people. Mostly.
