I was wondering about the people and activities of SEFP. Have a look at the following stats (date: 22.aug.2012). This is my agenda for next 3 months for SEFP. Please lets start to define some roles and targets for SEFP. You can disagree and put it down but vote for me how many of you agree with me! I wanna see the stats and numbers. Afterall this is just a suggestion. Total members: 816 This number is decent. At this point i care about participation & quality instead of just a crowd doing nothing out there. Total posts: 918 [ 66% of all the posts are by top 5 members ] Post count by top 2% members should not go above 70%. 1) Atleast 30% contribution to SEFP should be from 98% members to get a feeling the SEFP is not just run by the moderating team. Average post rate: 1.125 post per member Should reach upto 1.3 2) Ensures improved density of posts over the total population of SEFP The most liked content is by: 6 users Believe it or not. Its a measure of active members of the forum. Need to make it to 8 (not just 1 post...rather many posts by more than 8 people liking) 3) To develop the habit and to encourage people to appreciate others work and say Thanks to him/her. Users with more than 10 posts: only 16 Here i use my own self devised rule that the %age of members posting more than 1% of the total posts (9.18) should be more than 2%. In our case it is 1.96%. Lets make it 2% 4) To ensure that there is always performance. If the no of members increases so should the post count. Among the moderating team of: 11 members (if we exclude admin) the ratio is 1 moderator for every 81.6 members and 91.8 postss In my opinion these ratios should be touching 200. 5) To avoid having more controllers than needed over limited no of posts and threads and members. Moderating team acitivty: 2 members didnt even visit the site since last 1 month and the other 2 since last 2 months (pathetic) 6) Check and balance on the performance of moderators. Setting a time limit after which the moderator will lose the right to be a moderator. Voting for moderators should be done after some time in SEFP. Male/Female participation is: 99% : 1% . Additionally all that 1% posts from females is only from 1 member out of 8.. 7) Not an important issue as this is STRUCTURAL engineering not the ARCHITECTURE or INTERIOR DESIGNING but still a surprising fact. I wish if we can make it 2%???? 93% of total members have made NO POST at all! Zero Post .....0.0...93% Inactive users.....Lets put a min limit for a member to stay a member for SEFP. If a new member doesnt post, say 5 times in 2 weeks...assume...the member should be deleted automatically! 8) It will ensure more activity and realistic ratios for SEFP activities based on active members not just on inactive members. We will have nice people instead of bunch of useless spammers and trial downloaders. The list can go on! like the percentage of different threads etc but for the time being we need more members and more posts. Lets get the results asap. I think we should do it in a more organized way. Giving moderators their responsibility to do something for forum and to set targets monthly or every other month lets say! and to achieve them. I would highly recommend the ADMIN to take this suggestion seriously!
