Hey!
Thanks for the feedback on the 'PS'.
A few things.
The scoring may not be right for this new metric, but a felt that the placing should were mainly based on how much text was produced. While this is clearly important and mostly the case still, I felt that it would be good to reward those opening their circle of friends out. The other advantage here is that scores are less related to 'time available to steem'.
I'd like some more feedback on the new metric, I may have some below but I'm responding in order of comment.
Thanks for your input thus far π
I don't know if it's feedback. I was trying to keep it more to personal observational status. As in, "I scored here" as opposed to "this new system is bad." It's not bad or good, it's just different in a way that didn't work as favorably for me. Doesn't mean it's not a better (or worse) representation of engagement. It's just different.
It might be less related to "time available to steem." I'm not sure. I think that those who spend more time are still going to get higher scores. There isn't really a way to calculate "score per minute." ;)
What I'm trying to say is that I don't have any recommendations on what I think you should change (or not change). Just a few observations. Thanks again for helping people get a feel for how they did. :)
I'll take anything words regarding them the EL as feedback, and spend plenty of time thinking about what do next.
You are probably the standout case where the new metric hasn't worked in an accounts favor and engagement style. I've commented to crypto-econom1st with the reasons behind the metric, but perhaps there is a weight adjustment to be made.
It's all good, man. I was a bit disappointed not to get a prize, but you don't owe me a thing and it's not owed to me by "the universe" either. I just do the best I can and if it works out, great. If not, then I still got to talk with some cool people.
Don't stress too much about getting the formula right. It's hard to quantify it through finite data points that only measure specific things. I think you're doing a great job! Thanks for taking the time to run it. :)
