Well then I will put writing up that bot on my to do list and post results in this thread.
I’m thinking of first comparing it to the following generic measures:
Posting a new comment (average thread, upvoted/downvoted/neutral)
Replying to a comment (average comment, upvoted/downvoted/neutral)
Posting a new topic
Posting a new topic in Discussion section
And when one gets the data on the distribution of up votes and how they relate to word count (in itself perhaps even more interesting), and controls for it things might really get interesting.
Absolutely. I’ll be interested to see an analysis. :)
