The title says it all. Just celebrating!
Nope, off-topic posts don't countDJS - Sure, I'll celebrate with you... that's 24 for me. Yeah.
That is expressive.Thing is, that is a lot of knowledge trading brains. Today 500, 1000 coming up. It is all the more impressive when you consider English is probably not your mother tongue.
Yes, you are right.Don't get too worked up over it, it is a junk metric "for entertainment purposes only", as the saying goes.
It's difficult to come up with a decent "quality" metric. About the only one you might use would be the number of Thanks or Thanked Posts that a person has (perhaps as a fraction of their total posts to normalize things). But that has problems, not the least of which is that while posts in this forum don't count, Thanks applied to posts in this forum do.
But there really isn't a need to devise a quality metric, since what would you use it for? I suppose in some forums you might use such a metric to determine posting privileges, such as ability to post without moderation, but I sure wouldn't want to be charged with devising any kind of a reliable quality metric for a forum. That's why we have moderators!
I agree. My actual concern is leading other people into error because of mine.One motto from work:
If we are never wrong, we are never learning.
If you're wrong, it won't be long until someone spots it (and corrects it). I speak from experience.I agree. My actual concern is leading other people into error because of mine.
Ah, don't we all.If you're wrong, it won't be long until someone spots it (and corrects it). I speak from experience.
