  • How about a 3-10 day suspension for anyone hijacking a thread with flat/globe/earth comments and also those who respond to those comments.

  • Here are some numbers. Sorry I don't know how to make a proper table for them. The order is by number of topics started in the last hundred threads on the FE subforum.  The letters stand for flat and globe. The numbers are (from left to right) topics started in the subforum over the last hundred, number of posts to the subforum, total posts to CI.  I left out everyone who started less than 4 threads, with the exception of Meg since she is a major poster.

    Smedley Butler    (F) 13       643     778
    TruthisEternal      (F) 11       843   1713
    Neil  Obstat         (G) 11     2022   5874
    An Even Seven    (G)  8      556    2124
    WholeFoodsTrad  (F) 7       421      508
    kiwiboy                 (F) 7       348       499
    Jaynek                 (G) 5       723     2415
    cassini                 (G) 4       154     1327
    happenby             (F) 4     1491     2226
    Ladislaus              (?) 4      487    13930
    Meg                      (F) 1      640      2350

    In order of total posts to the subforum:
    Neil Obstat
    happenby
    TruthisEternal
    jaynek
    SmedleyButler
    Meg
    AnEvenSeven
    Ladislaus
    WholeFoodsTrad
    kiwiboy
    cassini

    Among these posters approximately 4100 posts were by flatearthers and 3500 by spherists and another 500 by Ladislaus who does not want to take sides.

    Another question: how long have you been working on the table above? It seems a little obsessive to me. 
    "It is licit to resist a Sovereign Pontiff who is trying to destroy the Church. I say it is licit to resist him in not following his orders and in preventing the execution of his will. It is not licit to Judge him, to punish him, or to depose him, for these are acts proper to a superior."

    Well, flat earth was the only topic/subject mentioned in the O.P.

  • Your table is supposed to prove....what exactly?
    People were making assertions about which side was starting threads and posting more.  I thought it would be useful to have actual numbers to work with.

    All the information was readily available so it did not take especially long.

    Every member's profile has stats on it.  I just clicked on the names of members posting to the subforum, selected stats and copied the numbers I wanted.

    Is this something you've done before? And under what circuмstance? Do you have experience gathering information and/or statistics regarding forums, blogs, (or forum members)?

    Matthew didn't so much care how many total posts from individuals are in the flat earth section, (at least he didn't say that was the problem) but that the 'Recent Topics' was getting bogged down with too many new topics for flat earth.  Strangely, that translated to Matthew as trouble from flat earthers.  Yet, most of the new topics were started by globers, who then went and complained to Matthew.  
    Sadly, the reason you had to ask the question about Jayne's post is because it's obvious that her diversionary chart is without pertinent information to the situation, but actually deflects from understanding of what actually happened.

    I look up publicly available profile information on forum members whenever I am curious about them.  Most often it is because I suspect someone of being a troll.  Occasionally it is to obtain information for a discussion about forum trends such as we are engaged in here.

    Yes, more threads in that subforum were started by globe earthers, rather than flat earthers.

    Do you work for someone who wants information about forum trends?

    :facepalm: Of course not.  
    I'm a housewife with no paid employment.  I suppose one could say I work for my husband.  For the record, he does not want information about forum trends.  

    I am done with this interrogation.  You are getting more and more ridiculous trying to make something nefarious out of checking forum stats.
