Is there a leading Metric for Fourm Authenticity?
06-29-2018, 11:16 PM
I wonder what the analytics say about banned members. There must be statistical significance that links them. Are there certain metrics that alert forum mods?
What metric do you think is the leading indicator for a troll?
What metric gives credence to authenticity?
As referenced by the past weeks bannings, it is only at the bitter end that neautral reps pile up. Surly there must be a leading positive or negative indicator to preclude direct knowledge of forum falsehood.
My simple thinking tells me that the total number of posts per (divided by) total number of positive reputation to indicates a members authenticity. A significantly low ratio would indicate troll.
Any thoughts? Can we put predictive analytics to forum use?

Like the requirement that presidential candidates approve each campaign ad, there should be a .wav file at the end of every post that says "I'm Roosh V...and I approve this message"

I use a sophisticated system called "reading each post and making a judgement on its content regardless of who said it". The bad news is the OP tipped off my word-salad-troll leading indicator.

It's simple, be authentic. If you're not, your bullshit will come to light eventually.

Are you actually suggesting we preemptively ban people because they may commit a bannable offense in the future according to your 'predictive analytics'?

*Openly* discussing systems to root out trolls and saboteurs is not in the interests of the forum.

Solution above is needlessly complex. Reps should be for meet ups only.

Tell them too much, they wouldn't understand; tell them what they know, they would yawn.
They have to move up by responding to challenges, not too easy not too hard, until they paused at what they always think is the end of the road for all time instead of a momentary break in an endless upward spiral

Hilariously (given the op's silver membership), I remember "having silver membership" being pointed out about certain banned members who had flame-outs -- apparently it indicated a wishy-washiness (gold, or nothing! why do halfway?) which bled into the guy's posting persona.
We've seen a funny correlation over time with the rare, memorable silver medal, and strange posters.
No disrespect to OP who seems repped and vetted, but I remember cracking up when [member I can't remember] was about to be banned and someone pointed out "figures he has silver!" and broke it down -- what a hilarious small detail.
