It isn't just a massive waste of time; it's impossible. Don't forget, some topics have lost pages, or have vanished entirely.

Wait a sec... How is that possible? The only three ways to do this that I can think of are:

1) The bot can hack into the system and un-ban itself.

2) Of our 7601 members, 5000 of them consist of the same bot. So basically, it's the same member over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... Oops, got a little carried away there.

3) Administrators have the power to delete members.

In my opinion, each of these are equally frightening prospects.

Hang around here for a bit and Diki might put you in if you fit in the story.

But I can't speak for what she does.

oh well no worries thinks for the tip woman

Fix'd

Always remember: gender matters.

EDIT: BTW, I know it sounds a little disrespectful to call someone "woman", but I'm proving a point.

That you need to brush up on your slang? The slang term 'man' can be applied to people of both genders. However, it is generally reserved for males.

About making the stats a little more dynamic: If you want to try it, go ahead. I'm not that great of a mathematician, and thus, making them more dynamic would be beyond my abilities, or my interest. It already took me five hours to do this.

Well, if Dikiyoba's going where I think she's going with this... Me. :eek:

The only other priest is Slartucker, and as he mentioned in Episode 2, the only healing spell he knows is Cure Parasite.

EDIT: That's if the Thing doesn't get you first. Seriously, there's been more typos/spelling errors today then there has been in the past week.

And Zeviz, I wouldn't worry about -X-. If he harasses too much, Dikiyoba is guaranteed to put him in her story. In a very... unpleasant way.

I have a quick two questions. First, there's this crazy cat who says something along the lines of, "Subvert the dominant paradigm." Is this important, or just Jeff poking some fun? Also, there's another fastidious feline who's hungry. Can you feed him, or not?

(This is in the safehouse in Motrax's tunnels, which can only be reached via Orb of Thralni.)

These weren't the stats Tyranicus requested, but they're quite interesting anyway.

This table is a general idea of how much people spammed this month, and it contains every person who posted 100 or more times.

These statistics work off of two main assumptions. First, that every post in October was legitimate. Second, that every other post a person made this month which was ABOVE their October value is spam.

Because of these two main assumptions, these tables are not entirely accurate, and may contain some outright errors. *cough*Zeviz*cough*

Also, two members are not listed: -X- and Salmon's second identity. -X- didn't get in because this is his first posting month. There wasn't a real yardstick to measure his posting with, and the statisics would have given him an exact 50%, no matter how he was calculated. Salmon's second account isn't there because it was lumped in with the first.

% CHANGE is how much that person's posting changed this month, in a percent value. % SPAM is a statistical evaluation of how much that person spammed this month. SPAM POSTS is approximately how many posts were spam, based on the statistics.

MEMBER POSTS OCT / NOV % CHANGE % SPAM SPAM POSTS
Nioca 202 - 577 285.64% 29.99% 173.04
Salmon 116 - 544 468.96% 57.36% 312.03
Dikiyoba 127 - 345 271.65% 26.38% 91.01
Ephesos 91 - 329 361.53% 44.52% 146.47
Andraste 47 - 317 674.46% 70.35% 223.00
Tullegolar 117 - 312 266.66% 24.36% 76.00
Alorael 118 - 283 239.83% 16.61% 47.00
Randomizer 73 - 261 357.53% 44.07% 115.02
Magma 53 - 244 460.37% 56.56% 138.00
Tyranicus 97 - 230 237.11% 15.66% 36.01
Arancaytar 112 - 223 199.10% 00.00% 0.00
*i 81 - 171 211.11% 00.57% 0.97
Slartucker 72 - 158 219.44% 00.88% 1.39
Thuryl 63 - 155 246.03% 01.87% 2.89
Dintiradan 52 - 132 253.84% 02.12% 2.79
Kelandon 71 - 130 183.09% 00.00% 0.00
Zeviz 4 - 121 3025.00% 93.39% 113.00
Delicious Vlish 12 - 106 833.33% 77.36% 82.00
Jewels 23 - 100 434.78% 54.00% 54.00
These numbers were deterimined by the following formulas:
% CHANGE = NOV / OCT
% SPAM = 1 - (OCT / (NOV / 2))
SPAM POSTS = NOV * (% SPAM * .01)


Have fun...

EDIT: Added a light bulb. :cool:
