PMs from Grampy Bobby

How about creating an entire thread to discuss it. I see no end world hunger thread. Must be a huge problem then.

Take World Hunger to Debates, spanky!

I thought that was like Jeopardy or something.

i feel left out
don't i deserve an occasional PM asking me not to get a PM?

What do i have to do to get noticed?
Do I need to be the first to send the PM complaining about getting a PM that I didn't get?

The only "private conversation" we have had is me asking you not to PM me. No more PMs please. I am asking politely.

I think you'd be the last person who would be annoyed by someone else's annoying persistence, given that you yourself indulge in it so regularly.

I send out very few PMs. If anyone were ever to ask me not to PM them, I would respect the request immediately. My "persistence" is all to be found in the public domain, where it belongs.

Guess that makes me a crybaby then.

It feels like I missed something. Kewpie is solid, as far as I know.

You don't know me very well, do you? Just look at my rating. 😕

Isn't that the truth! 😉

What if RHP routinely calculated and recorded each member's Forum Posting Rating along side the Chess Game Rating

in the profile? How would you build the equation? This foray's probably worthy of a thread. Run with it, if you'd like.

Sounds like you're talking about the popularity contest that has already been established. 😉

"Players are rated using the following formula: New Rating = Old Rating + K * (Score - Win Expectancy) K is a constant (32 for 0-2099, 24 for 2100-2399, 16 for 2400 and above) Score is 1 for a win, 0.5 for a draw and 0 for a loss. The Win Expectancy is calculated using the following formula: Win Expectancy = 1 / (10^((OpponentRating-YourRating)/400)+1) The Win Expectancy is used in the rating calculation but is interesting on its own. For example, the calculation below is for a rating difference of 200. This shows that if you have a rating 200 points higher than another player, you can expect to beat them, on average, three times for each four games played. Win Expectancy = 1 / (10^(-200/400)+1) = 0.76. Note: ^ = "to the power of", e.g. 2^3=8." (RHP/FAQ/Chess Rating)

Course not. That would feed the poster species that grossly engorges itself upon every scrap of praise and morsel of applause it can find in the empty lunch pails of its beholden peers. Unfortunate attack dogs, sock puppets and lurking shadows (with ten ingrown thumbs) would be fed back in halfway houses where they belong. An equation for the objective calculation of a member's Posting Index (PI) would account for at least as many Human Ego and ID Variables as their Chess Ratings.
