Wanna help out in commentwhores_?

We've got 2,000 already! Think with some help we can finish it up before Christmas?

Comment totals before purge:

purpledragon104 = 7549
thelonewizard = 4098
chickenflicker = 4372

Total purged: 21278 (including 5+ thousand other commnets)

I'm going to disallow comments on most of (or all) of the posts in this community, since it is mainly to get some information across. The main reason being is that if you comment on this journal, it counts toward commentwhores_ comment rankings, and that's not good.

I guess this is just a general update. Things are going good in the community, and I'm going to UPDATE the way the rankings are shown. For example:

Rank # TW	Rank # LW	Username	Total Last Post	Grand Total	% contributed*
1	3	pianodude34	1,560	2,425	17.3%
2	2	xxalyoop42xx	1,782	2,140	7.2%

Asterisk (*) denotes how much percentage (%) of last post was created. So, if Post #2 was about to be issued, then it would be the percentage for Post #1.
TW = This Week
LW = Last Week

This is basically still a BETA process, but I'm thinking it'll give users a much more detailed way of seeing their progress. All of the column variables in the table are subject to change, as these are just what came to mind. Also, the totals listed above are NOT at all true--I just used myself and the moderator as examples. The reason for doing it this way would be as follows:

Rank TW: current ranking
Rank LW: to see if you got better or worse
Username: duh
Total Last Post: to see how much you progressed, in comparison to the next column
Grand total: duh
# Contributed: to see how much of the previous post you actually took part in

I may also put a "comments contributed to last post," instead of having you do the math. I'd like to open this up for discussion, but I'm just clearly stating what I'll like to do. Actually, the best thing to do would be to post a reply to the first few comments on the lastest post in commentwhores_, to pianodude34, that way I'll see it, as will others.

This new way of ranking will be established after Post #4 is finished.

POST #2 IN commentwhores_! LET'S GET COMMENTING, EVERYONE! THIS ONE CAN BE FILLED UP FAST WITH EVERYONE'S PARTICIPATION! COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT!

NEW ENTRY IN commentwhores_! GO THERE AND COMMENT NOW! THIS IS THE OFFICIAL COMMUNITY, LET'S MAKE THIS WORK!

Gmail: Labels

Sun, 31 Jul 2005 20:00:49 GMT

Instead of using HOTMAIL for our message retrieval system to calibrate the stats, I'm changing it to GMAIL. It's a little more efficient, and it'll benefit us more in the long run.

I've given the following users "Labels" in Gmail, so therefore if you comment on whichever will be the new post (in whichever community), your comments will be counted:

pint_of_shame
maxxchaos
rooneysyogolate
pianodude34
xxalyoop42xx
empress544
sra33
jaeelle
bitchylaxgirl19
ordinaryfool
xsevenyearsx
meriadoc_mi
purpledragon104
rampant_chaos__
chickenflicker
sandle_tbird
taumeson
shortshyt224

The usernames are as shown here:

If your name is not shown in the PNG image or the list above, comment here and I will give you a label.

Text In Post #14

Sat, 30 Jul 2005 21:06:30 GMT

Original text at the end of Post #14:

EDIT: Attention, everyone. I've found out a simple way to track your comments for FUTURE </a></b></a>_commentwhores posts. Let's finish this one up FAST, and once I start the next post, it will be under the username </a></b></a>commentmod. From there, all of your comments will then be put into folders, thus allowing me to type up a Top Ten Commenters list. If we all participate, this will work out well! Friend the user </a></b></a>commentmod, as a new post of ALL THIS INFO has been updated, thanks! [7/29/05 8:56 PM PST.]

Removed because it's unnecessary to keep there still.

Attempt To Contact Maintainer

Sat, 30 Jul 2005 20:51:50 GMT

"Hi! This is one of the moderators to the online community, _commentwhores. I was wondering if you had ANY sort of contact information (AIM, YIM, email, cell phone number) for the user squealer who is on your friends list. It is VERY important and vital that I get in touch with her, so please don't hesitate to give me any info, thanks!"

The above message was sent to all of the following users in an attempt to get in touch with squealer (Kristie).

006mac, 008mac, _youhatefun, a_man_woody, acidbarbie, aidaniscool, alvastarr, amoureux531, amythestrose, areyoumysanity, asclepius09, billy_hill, blank_journal, cadetdru, chickabre, danaxx, darsant, declared_insane, density1million, echoed_cries, elemehnohp, fashionicons, fooliobass, forget_lilly, freso, gaut, gokingsgo33, grapefr0ot, i_am_teh_sex, idigital, ilikeemoalot2, insane_whispers, jizzer, kungfumunkie, lott1e, misslysha, missvondutchx, mnngflcnvrstn, nannig, notpictreperfct, o_live, omake_don, ordinaryfool, outshadowed, pixiedestroy, poocentricity, pupsuper, rachs_827, remark, ribanomalyjoe, safero, seullesetoiles, sinikiwe, soleil_briller, squealer, sugaricons_, sweet_november, taopocl13, thelakings33, thirty_six, tricksterpyg, twosoxtoobig, wyntarvox, xshynindyminx, yachii, yankssuck, yourtragicflaw

Reason being is she needs to give me "maintainer" privileges in order for me to appoint commentmod as a moderator. Details will follow shortly, as well as a new post in _commentwhores by pianodude34, but no comment stats will be available for that, unfortunately.

Last 10 Custom Filters

Sat, 30 Jul 2005 19:18:41 GMT

Users who have received the last 10 custom filter folders:

empress544
sra33
jaeelle
bitchylaxgirl19
ordinaryfool
xsevenyearsx
meriadoc_mi
purpledragon104
rampant_chaos__
chickenflicker

But let me warn you, if you don't comment on the first post, your custom filter will be given to another user who is a much more varacious commenter. Any suggestions are welcome.

Users Who Don't Get Filters

Sat, 30 Jul 2005 19:16:16 GMT

Names who unfortunately do not get filters at the present moment in time:

sandle_tbird
taumeson
shortshyt224

Sorry, but the email account commentmod@msn.com is only allowed 15 custom filters, until upgraded to a paid account ($19.95 for 1 year), in which it'll only receive 36 custom filters. Don't worry, your comments will still count, they'll just have to be moved to your folder manually.

BETA Testing Update

Sat, 30 Jul 2005 18:55:31 GMT

Okay, I have just tested out the following usernames:

pint_of_shame *
maxxchaos
rooneysyogolate
pianodude34
xxalyoop42xx

However I noticed something with the underscore names (_). My custom filters can't allow their folders to be called that, so for instance, all pints emails will only go to her folder if they contain "pint" in the "from name", if that makes sense. Sadly, if there's someone else, like pint_of_joy, their comments will go to the same folder. I highly doubt that, though.

So if anyone who is reading this will be commenting in _commentwhores and your username is NOT listed above, comment here BEFORE you start commenting on Post #15 and your comments will all be counted in your own folder.

New Commenting Stats - IMPORTANT

Sat, 30 Jul 2005 04:07:21 GMT

Hello, commenters! This is one of the current mods of _commentwhores here to create an idea that will hopefully turn out pretty well. Here's the sitch:

Earlier tonight, xxalyoop42xx, maxxchaos, pints, rooneysyogolate, and myself were all commenting together when Aly brought up the topic: "I really wish we could see our comment stats." Dwelling on the idea, I got to thinking about how Kristie, the original maintainer, tracked her comments, and started brainstorming.

Throughout posting over 1,400 comments between the five of us tonight, I had figured out some great ideas, and one of them was to create an email address specifically dedicated to the comment posts. Thus, the only way to make that work would be to create a new LJ account in general: commentmod.

Posting with this journal in _commentwhores will make all comments go directly to this journal's email which I have just made: commentmod@msn.com (feel free to email w/any questions, too). Once the emails get there, I will then give each user a specific folder, and from then on out all your comments will be received in the respective folders, and I can easily check how many comments each user has.

With this idea, I'm sure people will want to comment more, and we'll easily be able to make a 5,000-comment post disappear in a few days. Not only that, but I'll open the community up for discussion, suggestions, etc., all for the better of what can be a better commentwhoring experience.

As soon as we finish up Post #14, the following post (#15) will be made with commentmod, and so the commenting will begin. I'll make another post after this asking EVERYONE who will participate in commentwhores to please let me know, so I will know to make you a folder. This is the only way recording comments was going to work, so I hope this makes sense to everyone.

This is the most up-to-date and official information on this matter, so feel free to friend this username (recommended) to always be current on how things are going. Suggestions are welcome here, but don't get to commentwhoring, as that's for _commentwhores, heh.

Your mod,
pianodude34.
