Wasn't sure exactly where to post this thread, but I've been thinking and had to share a silly idea of mine...

If you really think about it...."comments" here are like games played, and the"likes" are like the goals and assists(pts).

IMO...if you have at least a 1/.5 pt per game(comment/like) ratio, that should be considered "league average" if you will. 1/1-1/1.5 should be considered good to very good depending on the # of "games played"(comments). 1/2 is elite status. All-star/first team all-HFboards material. And again this goes in line with # of comments for obvious reasons. The more the better. I'd say 25,000+ comments with a 1/2 comment/like ratio should put you in the conversation for league MVP. And anyone at 1/3 and beyond is a prodigy, and if they reach 30,000 comments with a 1/3+ comment/like ratio then they are officially in the "generational" conversation, among the best of the best to ever post at HFboards.

1/.5-1/.25 = below average

1/.25-1/,15 = bad to very bad

1/.15 and under = worst in the league territory

I might be off on this, idk. This is tough to pinpoint. But I'd be curious to see some of the top ranking posters/the poster with the best "stats".

Thoughts?
 
Yeah there is something to be said based on a posters comment to like ratio. I don’t think I have ever seen a 1/2 ratio with thousands of comments…prove me wrong hf…

I actually think, not a lot of posters have 1/1 ratio or better. I’d consider 1/1-1/1.25 all star. League average for me would be 1/.75

I like the concept but think your all star to prodigy ratios are too high. Very few on this board have a 1/2 ratio. Those ratios need to be brought down.
 
“1/.15 and under = worst in the league territory”

That’s harsh, I’m well below 1, but I do the right things and there’s dozens of team boards that would want me and a lot of other “1 and under posters” on their boards.

Your not well under 1/1, your just under. I’d consider you a top 6 forward to star forward. It’s not easy to get a 1/1 ratio.

Also, you joining in 2021 and you have 11k comments, makes your ratio more impressive. Because a lot of your posts likely are posts that don’t warrant a reaction because your posting in huge volume. I think you need to add in a posters join date into the equation. I would even say your 1/.9 ratio joining in 2021 is more impressive then my 1/1.15 ratio and my 2010 join date
 
And for those of us who posted before likes were a thing? I'm well over 1LPP since they were introduced, but kids on the internet these days would look at my numbers and think I'm one of those beer league goalies from the 80s who let in double digits each night.
imagine explaining to kids that your older than likes on the internet. "back in my day there was no trapezoid and the red line was still a line"

Everyone knows Ceremony from Avs board is the real deal.

Thoughts: Just be a regular on the canes team board and post a meme after every match.

Gauging poster quality by likes is pretty silly. It's pretty easy to game the system to get high likes without contributing much at all.
 
Well you know it’s been a struggle recently but you know if I keep working hard you know and uh keep posting the right way and getting comments deep I think you know the likes will come
Hopefully this post evens out your ratio a bit because this is great.

Just needs more uh's.

I definitely have to agree with this.

A lot of articulate, insightful and well-thought out posts seem to get no likes or just one to three whereas if you're the first to say something like, "feels good, man" in a Maple Leafs Post Game thread after a win, you're sure to get quite a few likes.

Witty comments in main boards threads tend to generate a lot of likes, and posters deserve credit for such remarks, but clever banter doesn't necessarily equate to deep hockey knowledge.

lol. I’m in the same boat. By far most of my posts were in the pre-like era. I’m surprised my ratio is so good!

I’m too old. Don’t post much anymore. Damn kids, taking up all my time. lol.

I like the concept/idea though - it’s super interesting.

exactly. He is being an elitist top 6 forward, born with a silver spoon in his ass and doesnt recognize hard work and intangibles.

In all honesty, I don't think this is a good way to go at all. I get most of my 'likes' when saying something funny, or saying something good about Ovechkin in the goals chase thread.

If a poster were to bounce around to everyone's little team-based echo chamber threads and forums and post like a kiss ass, he would walk away with a huge post:like ratio.

If we go down this road its just going to lead to more groupthink than there already is, i think.

I typically hand out likes to people who have either made me laugh, or those stats geniuses in here who make unbiased, well thought out, mathematically involved posts that I learn from. That second group actually deserves recognition. The rest of us are mostly just bozos, some well-meaning, many others who have tribal agendas.
