I have a strike rate of 0.362 (3,010 likes from 8,295 posts).

What's yours? Interesting to see what the leaderboard would look like.

2,000/27,000, bit less than 10 per cent.

I'm clearly the Alanis Morrisette of the forum
Clearly need to normalize and discount posts made in the pre-like era. I mean, you may have the odd sad no-life like trundler trawling old threads and giving likes, but it's not a common occurrence.

I was about to say something along these lines. Have noticed in a lot of old threads from the mid 2000's that likes weren't that much of a thing.

The system was only introduced after 2012 or so I think.

Any method developed by PEWS would be trustworthy.

Edit: Or a way to calculate posts from 2012 or later, as vcs has pointed out.

The solution is obvious. Tally like:post data since then. There's an inverse relation between posting frequency and like strike rate so extrapolate to pre-like days after factoring that in.

Yeah the data collection bit is the hard part here.

And even Cribbot doesn't have SQL access, probably for drop_table related reasons
