% of settlers, warlords, princes...

[Carolus Rex]

Oh yes. One month is far too little... Sometimes real life takes control for more than a month... Sometimes Apolyton is just too much, I get fed up and stay away for more than a month...

Overall, the spam is worse now than ever. We used to have a special forum for spam... It was called off-topic... When posting there stopped increasing the pc, I guess spam invaded all fora... The genie's out of the bottle... Who can put it back in?

Oh very well, here you go:

People who posted in the last 6 months

Deity		7	0,21%
Emperor		131	3,86%
King		290	8,54%
Prince		355	10,46%
Warlord		332	9,78%
Chieftain	400	11,79%
Settler		1879	55,36%
			
Total		3394	100,00%

As you can see the stats aren't horribly different, except that there are much less Settlers (due to the fact that people who registered but never posted are obviously not included)

[Immortal Wombat]

More Princes that Warlords. How interesting.

[Frozzy]

Indeed.

[Asmodean]

I actually find it quite surprising that over half the people posting here within the last 6 months are settlers.

Were they settlers at the time of posting, or are they settlers now?

Asmodean

[Locutus]

They are Settlers now.

Most probably registered after Conquests came out. The relase of Civ3 games and add-ons could explain many of the settler stats.

[Frozzy]

Yeah... that or just simply Civ III players still having PtW troubles.

[Kuciwalker]

We have about 15 or so inactive Emperors...

Nope, the rate of new registrations has been more or less constant during the past 6 months: somewhere around 60-70 new members a day on average.

Pointing out spam is spam. Pointing out metaspam is spam.

Technical chart:

Spam: obviously spam
Metaspam: more subtle spam

You missed the point about meta-spam actually being self-ironic and (usually) humourous.

You also failed to describe pseudo-spam.

(When an obvious and easy +1 is passed over in favour of a serious non-spam post. The non-spam post would never have been considered had the obvious spamming opportunity never existed. Its a bit like the concept of electron holes in semi-conductors, in that its not the spam thats there that counts, its the spam that isn't).

Suggestion - make deity special again by offering a CUSTOM TITLE for all at 15,000 posts. No code change needed and very little effort from the mods.

I have the greatest ideas.

-Jam

With the discovery of super-deity levels in civII we could just make a super-deity title.

And then, of course, you have the Spam Uncertainty Principle, which allows spam to spontanteously enter any discussion, often in the form of panag

[Unspeakable Horror]

So true.
Anyway where is he now? It´s been a while since the last time I saw him ...
