Polaris' Wonderful Flood Calculator - Revived!


~ P O L A R I S ~

This's quite possibly one of the most interesting things I've contributed to YCM, so I thought I might share it with you guys.

 

It calculates how much time you put into each of your posts, which is generally related to how much flooding you do or don't do.

 

It's based on your Time Spent Online and your Post Count, or more specifically a formula using the two.

 

(# of months*730) + (# of weeks*168) + (# of days*24) + (#of hours) + (*1 more if your minutes are over 30.)

 

Check your total time online and type the above formula into Google, substituting the "#"s with actual values.

 

You'll get a number, the total number of hours you've spent online. Divide your post count by that number and you'll have your number of posts per hour you spend online, a great way to calculate flooding. Posts per day isn't as effective because it includes days in which you haven't been online at all. If you're only on for one day and flood like a madman, it won't be shown that you're a mad flooder as your days of inactivity afterwards rack up.

 

Basically, this's pretty cool because spammers will generally have higher Flood Values and people with posts of substance won't.

 

Here's mine as an example.

 

I've spent a total of 1230 hours on YCM. (1 month, 2 weeks, 6 days, 20 hours).

 

I have 6033 posts as of this one, if I divide that by my hours spent online here I'll get my posts per hour. 6033 / 1230 = 4.90487805

 

That's my flood index.

 

Feel free to calculate and post yours, or I might calculate yours and others' if I find the time.

This is an easy formula.

 

You should see The Organization formula.

 

Chg = K * { r - (1/10[(R - Ro)/400] + 1)}


A neat application of this index:

 

Divide posts per day by this index. You get approximately how many hours you are on each day.

 

So I'm on only 2 hours a day? RETRY.
