Title: Real number of activity
Post by: AB de Royse777 on October 29, 2024, 09:28:25 AM
My activity right now is 1570
Show post > manually count the posts and you will see I have 421 posts.

The forum default activity is not giving me the real activity number that I have. I guess it's because of the Teleported feature. Can we have a different counter under each profile avatar which will give the real post count of a user?

As a campaign manager this is a very important feature I miss to provide quality information for the clients.

Cheers,

Edit: Something like following

You can see it on your stat page, i guess admin should add the posts count on the profile page too.

Posts are different in activity, activity here is just like btt with different calculations, idk how it calculate since karma and points are considered too i  guess.

I Think that's how the forum works.

Because am not a teleported member but still my real activity number is not the one showing in my profile.  I think you can only see your real activity through your posts . Back then I got to a point my posts where increasing but my activity was freeze for a while , I guess is to reduce the rate of spamming in the forum .

Like now my activity is 523, while my posts are 599

Okay, the "Total Posts" works fine. May be we can consider to add it under the profile avatar so that it can be seen without going to stat page.

Some users mentioned something like this earlier, about adding the post counts under the profile avatar to save them the stress of going through stat page always. And admin was like his working on it that trying to balance some other stuff first.

But I think it would be better if it was under our avatar also .

Ah, yes, there too, just like every smf forum do.

I guess that's a just small customization work on the forum software, @admin should post a heads up or no if this is possible.

This is confusion just because of the teleportation feature and counting total number of posts isn't either the actual activity since activity frozen after particular point only knew that happens with low ranked accounts but I assume that's the same for every account like 14 activity points will be added no matter how many posts we create in Bitcointalk.

Maybe admin can give us how it's calculated.

But as an immediate solution I suggest you to have format that asks total number of posts instead of activity points.

I think it is total Posts we are talking about and not activity. Activity is showing on the profile but total Posts Count is not showing on the profile that make it difficult to get it. I tried to get it from the last page of my post history and the number I got there is different from the number I got from the PX-Z chat he showed to me which is the original one.

Probably you understand it from the activity point. And that is why your last sentence also shows your total activities. But the thread is mainly for Total Posts Count figures.

They different in number in your post history and in the stat page because there are posts on particularly boards that are not actually counted (not added on Stat page) like in the Trash boards, etc.

I am against adding another line under the profile. I even think that this is too much now. Trade count, only a few users have 1 or more, mostly 0, completely irrelevant information. number of referrals, also unimportant for most users, as well as 'last active'.

Instead of messing around and changing code maybe someone can create usercript and just move actual post number to the profile page.
In bitcointalk we have BPIP extension and I would like to see something similar created for Altcoinstalks forum, but with different information.
This would make life easier for everyone, not that it's hard opening Show Stats ;)

Except for the managers of signature campaigns, who else is it important to know the post count and for what reason?
Even for managers, the number of posts is not so crucial, they have to look at the post history before accepting participants and the quality of the posts during the campaign. The post count is pretty much irrelevant as information.

Probably for participants in the same campaigns and for everyone else who came from bitcointalk forum.
Back there we already have number of posts inprofile page and that is why some members are finding it confusing how this works in Altcoinstalsk forum.
Userscript can be used for other things also, not only for showing number of posts.

We have similar information here trade (trust) karma (merit), posts, activity. Something very similar BPIP would work.

Maybe PX-Z can create some extension like that and a Recognized score (Most Recognized is calculated using: 1000 - ((Activity Rank + Trust Rank + Earned Merit Rank) / 3).) (source: https://bpip.org/)

The point is that Karma is not so open like merit, so we can't really "audit" it.

Yeah I know, but I am less interested in karma system than in merit system, and don't ask me why :)

I think PX-Z can surely make something, but after recent attacks on TalkImg website I am a bit hesitant with projects like this.
Maybe AltcoinsTalks is not such a big target like Bitcointalk forum, but PX-Z can't do everything for free.

What happened to talk img is completely normal and it happens to every website. It happened even to mine.

Ddos attacks  happen all the time when any website reaches more than 5k visitors per month. Sometimes even cloudflare might be doing that to force people to paid plans

Yep. There are "Total Posts" on our account stats.
However, if you count the number of your total post manually, the number of your total post can be different.
Kindly check my post here: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/index.php?topic=325384.msg1656849#msg1656849

I guessed, it is because the post moved to trash are also showed on our post history.

@admin, is possible that the posted removed to Trash won't showed anymore on the post history?

This potentially makes some a confusion to bounty managers.

And its expensive, one of my sites got ddos and its annoying, you only need to do is wait and use ddos protect service with of course additional pay.

Yes, i have mentioned that too in this thread. There are boards that posts are not counted and activity is not affected too.

The "Total posts" in stat page fixed that.

I don't know if is normal, but I know that everyone who owns a website needs to have money for protection against this attacks.
Maybe admin should say more about ddos attacks on Altcoinstalks, and how is he keeping forum stable and online when that happens.

Altcoinstalks uses Cloudflare for DDOS protection.
https://builtwith.com/altcoinstalks.com

Nearly half of the top 10.000 websites use cloudflare.

So does the bitcointalk.org, and I can remember we had several serious attacks in recent history.
I don't think that anything can protect any website if someone really want to attack it and if they have unlimited resources available for that.
I guess ALtcointsTalks is more lucky, or they still fly under the radar ;)

Those attacks are expensive. I think the best is to wait a few days... it will pass. Just like happened to talkimg.

Some attacks even with full cloudflare plan can take down a website. So there isn't much to do but wait.

There is no inexplicable reason why random sites are being attacked. Altt may have been under the radar until now, but for example, Bitmover's site, which is smaller than Altt, was under a DDoS attack two months ago.

Those attacks are expensive. I think the best is to wait a few days... it will pass. Just like happened to talkimg.
As far as I understand, talkimg suffered seriously because of that attack, I think even the server was changed.
It's not just a matter that things will calm down with time, but everything requires more attention, and more engagement for remediation, which are always additional costs for the site owner.

Such random attacks on smaller sites as well, the only explanation for them is that they come from companies dealing with ddos ​​protection and online security. It only benefits them.

I think talkimg may be particularly difficult to protect while keeping all functionality,  because users need to be able to post images, and images should also load from other servers...

A sinple cloudflare plan may just not be enough

Sure, they are expensive for most people, but not for someone who is printing money from thin air and have unlimited money supply ;)
There is no way some random evil hackers are doing all this attacks, that are stories told for little kids and to people who are watching and believing everything that is coming from mainstream media.

Nobody has  a printinf money machine forever like that. And even if Trump was doing that, he would not attack talkimg or bitcointalk lol

Those attacks can't stay for long in real-life..

Sure they have, printing money is happening only with numbers digitally, they could never cash out all in circulation, and that proves what I am saying.
And even if Trump was doing that, he would not attack talkimg or bitcointalk lol
I never said Trump personally is going to attack anything.
Just look at the history of government and what kind of stupid attacks they did against citizens.
