This topic came up a week ago. I am getting ready to implement this as part of a promotion for my site. The idea is that we come up with a fair and accurate measure of total system activity on a per user basis....in my case, the top 10 most active users (in regards to posting stories, comments, and moderating) get prizes.

So the only problem is: What is a good algorithm. Here are the basic building blocks I was planning on using:
- # of votes cast in story moderation
- # of comment ratings cast
- # of comments made
- # of stories submitted
Then, I would like to somehow modify that activity data with a representation of quality:
- Ratings of the comments you posted (most important I think)
- (# of stories posted) / (# of stories submitted)
Please help me out and give me some ideas of what you think would be a fair representation of user activity.
This will have to be a special box, maybe tied into the output of a cron job that runs hourly or something. Defintely not something that is run every time someone looks at the page.
Thanks! |
