User Controls

So I went full OCD mode trying to figure out how User Titles are assigned

    First, these are the user titles sorted by number of users per title:


    Conclusions drawn:
    -- A whole lot of Yung Bloods, followed by a few dozen Houstons, African Astronauts, and Tuskegee Americans.
    -- Six victims of incest, four motherfuckers, two space niggas.
    -- The remaining all have unique user titles.

    The following table depicts the user titles sorted by average posts per user:


    Conclusions drawn:
    -- I assumed this was the way user titles were assigned, as it's generally the most logical choice with internet forums (aside from custom titles, regardless of post count).
    -- However, there are strange patterns in the data that defy this particular method of user title designation.

    The next table sorts user titles by average-posts-per-day-per-user, so basically, a measure of how frequently one posts:


    Conclusions drawn:
    -- Users with unique titles tend to have higher post frequencies.
    -- African Astronauts are the only type of user to somewhat defy the pattern, perhaps indicating a certain degree of ambition to reach a higher posting frequency once one has achieved "African Astronaut" status.

    The following table depicts the average duration of membership as correlated with user titles:


    Conclusions drawn:
    -- Generally speaking, having been here longer is more highly correlated with a unique user title.

    NOTE: Had to divide the post into two because of the number of embedded items...

    The next three tables will be shown back-to-back, as they are related:
    1. Sorted by Thanks given:

    2. Sorted by Thanks received:

    3. Sorted by the ratio between Thanks given and Thanks received:


    Conclusions drawn:
    -- It's hard to discern any (informally) significant correlations here.

    I dunno, I'm drunk now and suffering from data fatigue (if that's not yet a thing, I'm inventing it).

    So Lanny, what is the secret sauce?

    How are User Titles determined?

    My best guess would be by post count typically, but sometimes overriden for some non-quantitative reason.

    Maybe one day, if you wish for it hard enough, it will come true.

    Because I have no idea how custom titles are assigned.

    You're an African Astronaut.

    And you do not have a "tripphrase" either.

    Did you used to?

    Lanny can give a title any time he see's fit,no rhyme or reason.
    He's like a mini demi god because he owns this place, you on the other hand merely post here.
    Just have faith in Lanny that's all you need to do, stop thinking dammed it.

    Okay, wow, cupocheer enlightened me (in a PM) as to how Triphrases are created:

    Tripphrase: supposedly randomly assigned by the system after the particular user toggles on the tripphrase function.

    Apparantly there's a checkbox I missed seeing when looking at my own user profile/settings.

    I checked the checkbox, and now I have the tripphrase: "keratinize my mild-tasting blossoming".

    I'm still an African Astronaut as far as user title goes, but I am now more informed about tripphrases.

    Today I have been educated.

    I hear you're a rapist and a deadbeat dad.

    I can turn raw data into information.

    What's your talent?

    Aside from rape and avoiding paying child support, that is...

    Also, if you're as much of a deadbeat as the general opinion of NIS states, then chances are, you make way less money than I do.

    So the more appropriate question is, have YOU moved out of your parents house yet?

    Maybe you have, and that's why you're having trouble keeping up with child support payments.

    Try getting on my level.

    Either you're financially bankrupt, thus a loser.

    Or morally bankrupt (if you have money but won't pay child support), thus a loser.

    Either way, you lose.

    Shitty deal, bro.

    By default your username is a function of your post count, this is the ladder:


    (15000, 'Black Hole'),
    (10000, 'Dark Matter'),
    (7500, 'Naturally Camouflaged'),
    (5000, 'Space Nigga'),
    (1000, 'African Astronaut'),
    (500, 'Tuskegee Airman'),
    (100, 'Houston'),
    (0, 'Yung Blood')



    If you win a game of taboo your user title changes to "motherfucker", and "victim of incest" if you lose. Some people get custom user titles just because.

    arrr, you ruined it.

    i enjoyed his data porn very much and was hoping for more.

    tables with rows upon rows of numbers arouse me.
