Kudos Batting Percentage

[Cory_K]

Just out of curiosity, what is everyone else batting in terms of Kudos Percentage?

Kudos Percentage = (# kudos / total number posts) * 100

I'm swinging a 19%

I'm at around 49%. Looking at the main page, it looks like JLV is the second in number of Kudos. Since he has less posts than I do, that probably makes him the active member with the highest ratio. Someone with a small number of posts might have a better ratio. Anyway, if Laura extracted a current stat file, you could easily calculate it. The only question is what the meaning of such a metric is.

I'm at 45% but that is due to a roll over effect from the old forum.

I think  ratio of Solved/Posts would be more meaningful (if we could make the "Solution" work right).

Right now I am at 0.56%. That should be easy to beat.

The problem with focusing on these kinds of statistics is the fact that they possibly raise the participation threshold and thus lower participation: The ratio can be raised by posting less and picking only threads and questions that have a high probability of receiving ratings (e.g. if there is already an answer that received a rating from the originator of the thread). 😄

Exactly.

By the way Jeff K is at 966%.

In my mind eye there is very little room for competion on the forums (altough I'm always looking). The only aspect that comes close is the Kudos count since we can compete on a daily, weekly, etc basis. The competion reset regularly and rookies can compete with Knights to show up on the front page.

I'm at about 13%, but if everyone kudo'ed this message it would really raise my average.  🙂
