It is addictive here. I find myself checking in a couple times a day and see what are the current hot topics. |
I like the colorful expressions for participation rating. I try to keep my participation level as high as possible; it is very important to me to do so. I will generally look at a person's participation level because it lets me know if the member is up to date on discussions. It also gives me as a moderator, an idea of whether that person's posts should be reviewed for possible duplication or irrelevance.

I'm not as active lately as I would like to be, but I log in at least once a day (if I can) and read a lot -- sometimes not able to post much, but I try to read everything new. I know I miss things sometimes because of my limited time.
Someone's activity level is important, as has been previously noted. I also look at "last visit" time. Did they post this one message and then not even log in for a week -- or ever again? I'm not generally going to jump into a discussion with my self (although, that's been known to happen occasionally).

That's funny - this poll is biased. |
I was thinking of adding a method to calculate a user's participation in a particular board, but maybe it is overkill. By the way, via your profile you can see where you spend most of your time posting.
