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.

I have 8000 likes, and i would guess that 7000 or more has come from a single member on the sharks board lol.

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?

Likes were only implemented in the late 2010s, so numbers are all over the place for most people. There's a ton of reasons why this isn't worth paying attention to, but that's an easy one.

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.

Yup then it ends up like reddit where everyone just posts something to be "funny" or recycle the same old jokes all the time.

"Hurr durrr the Sens have been stripped of a first round pick again!" on a. random thread is annoying as shit.

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.

Greasy goals are still goals man. Some of us are just waiting by the crease for a deflection.
