KMC: CBVF Members POWER RANKINGS

An example of an objective ranking would be to measure the value of a poster by the number of posts that can illicit when they make a posts. The number of posts they generate from others on average can then be converted to a currency amount, based upon a forecasted number of adds viewed per poster in response to the original posters post (Dependent variable).

that's a manifestly faulty value system. in many cases, the poster who elicits the most responses is simply being flamed and/or trolled and/or made fun of by others. 20 people may respond with nothing more than an lol. in that case, the initial poster has actually NEGATIVELY impacted the forum and derailed a thread or conversation that may have been productive. in direct contrast, often, when a knowledgeable poster makes a good post, there are NO responses because there is nothing more that can be added to the thread. and those are the posts that have the HIGHEST value.

iow, your proposal is a p!ss poor way to determine the value of a poster. 😐

Obviously this ranking is based upon the influence that specific posters have upon the homeostasis, and the alteration of the forum environment.

In that case the posters that would rank the highest are those who generate the largest responses from others on a consistent basis, those users would be individuals like LoB, Quanchi, that dracula poster, H1, Prof.TC., Nvrbnwthagrl, swirly, etc.

Posters such as Galan, Mr. Master, and many others would be very low on this scale as their influence is minimal at changing the pre existing paradigm of the forum. Their function is to primarily add to what was established by others long ago, in other words easily replaceable and of less value due to their available quantity on the market.

More accurately what this thread is doing is not ranking posters on a vertical scale of low to high, but rather placing posters on a horizontal spectrum of paradigm difference. You will find that that those who think alike will all tend to end up on one side relatively closely, while those they see as being entirely different will be placed opposite of them (on the low side). Yet this scale has noway of objectively measuring value in its current incarnation, the dependent variable has not been set nor does it any an independent variable to contrast it.

Ultimately this forum at its most barest function is a testing ground for personality shards, and for others to live out archtypes of their own self in a digilital fashion they would unotherwise be able to in a tangible setting consistently.

Rank the forum members in the following tiers.

Street Level

Low Herald

Mid Herald

High Herald

[b]ABSTRACT [/B]

Abstract : galan, bran, smurph

HH : Leo, Digi, Blair

Those are the ones that stand out for me when I think of proper posts history.

Operator, Darthgoober, and Mr. Masters are abstracts as well
RageofOlympus is High Herald to trans as well. He knows his Thor.

The true value of a poster on a comic book forum such as this is for the most part economic purposes, every post you make has an economic value to it. Furthermore, posters that can generate more posts regardless of if they are being flamed or not are generating more economic value for the site. Obviously there is a balance of how much flaming they invoke relative to comic discussion they generate, even if it is in a less than noticeable way for the average poster.

You likely have never run a web site with a high volume of traffic before (not saying KMC is a high traffic site), but posters that generate discussion (negative or not) are worth more than a poster that doesn't. Posterst that illicit responses out of other posters do more than just increase Ad Views, they also increase the hit rating of your website, the links that lead to your site, and most importantly you increase in the google crawler rankings.

A few of you joked that Board Walker would be in the negative ratings, that is entirely false. In fact, one poster in particular that would be in the negative ratings would be Mr. Master. On average Mr. Master's posts decrease the frequency of responses/posts in the thread that he post in.

Really it is all just statistics, and analysis.

😂 you should have a category all your own as well. 👆

anyway, in order to truly approach what i like to call carvana, one should be truly gifted in a variety of knowledge. note that he to whom we aspire posts nonsense in ALL levels, from street to abstract and beyond. we have some here who know one milieu very well, but the truly enlightened will be fluent at all levels. only that way will the doors to carvhalla be opened, that one might rest forever in carvadise....

In Carver's name we pray....Amen.

😂

I hate every last one of you all guts.

Board Walker might be the worst poster to ever grace this site. I wish only the worst upon it.

Dear Branlor Swift,

I know deep down inside of you, you truly enjoy reading every post I bring into existence. I know you truly value the knowledge I bring forth, and that you assimilate every iota of it.

I'd rather watch two guys with downes sydrome eating a single lollipop while I'm eating soup than read your posts.

I think it's time you went on ignore tbh. Reporting doesn't seem to work

It is fascinating to see the strong emotions BW generates here.

A bold request from BW's biggest fan and supporter.

You might as well start praising quan when he still cared about comics enough to argue it. Except bw takes Quanning to extremes. You know it's not serious but it's still hard to not take notice.

Still curious who the main account is though.

How do I rank on the Carve's scale?

As I'm new relatively I guess I could be a bit low on the scale. Just wondered what people thought.

That is purely your own opinion which is likely so toxic due to the fact that my paradigm is located in a quadrant far from where yours is located, this differential in distance of perspective is the primary catalyst of your emotional response.

We all have different opinions of which for you to expect homogenization of perspective on this comic forum, and or demand it by attempting to deploy ad hominems against me only demonstrates your necessity to widen your acceptance of opinions different than your own.
