Obviously he likes voting a lot! ;-)

From Saints in our Book I notice that:

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    I think the first prize goes to Khayos, the mute Saint with the celtic dragon as his homenode image. He has entered the Book years earlier than Spooty.

      Looking at the flamewar on the last poll, his wow of silence is refreshing!

    Well if we wanna seriously discuss the rep/post ratio of different popes, it's worth observing that immediate reply levels are better voted then deeper ones.

    The newest pope doesn't tend to go into deep discussions, while others are known for fighting till their keyboard breaks. And deep discussions means many low voted posts.

    The reputation system has many limitations and the average "popularity"¹ of posts should be only compared by level (Re:, Re^2: and so on) and answer time.

    Anyway plz don't misunderstand me, I'm not advocating to add new statistics to the monastery!!!

    ¹) not to be confused with "quality". =)

      Well, the software is ... what the software is.   (Translation:   if you don’t like it, you just volunteered to debug it!)   ;-)   ;-)   ;-)
