Just to tell mods…

If you can't find any posts to moderate over… how about updating the STATISTICs page!

I just went to that page to see where Twinings Samples were on the chart but they weren't there… so HUH???

Suggestion: isn't there an automated system for the list to be created?

Anyway… Statistics give the motivation for posters to actually POST!

Mod: The stats page is ranked historically. http://www.ozbargain.com.au/stats.

*Reply to Mod: Sorry, did not see the word historically. I still believe we should have an ALL-TIME votes list. An All-time list would be better than a 180 days one because you cannot see 2010 posts. Maybe you could even have a year-post e.g 2011, 2010, 2009 etc.

*So why would this benefit ozBargain? Don't really know, but wouldn't it be nice if people used this as a historical source e.g showing changes in prices of USBs, interesting changes in prices when a line is discontinued (HP TouchPad) etc. Note: i'm just saying possibilities.

    Use the talk to a mod feature instead of whining to the world!

    You mean this page?—>LINKY

    In order for another deal to make it on the list it must beat this

    Hence even if it has 30 deals(beating the deal with 27 +) it will not make it as
    -In 2007, there were not as many people on Ozb as there was now

    Also you will notice that from bottom to top, it is in chronically order

  • ozAzn on 23/08/2011 - 20:58

    then they should make a new one!!!!!!!!! one that differs to what issh said!

    so one where it would have a normal stacking… as in ranking on actually votes and not collective stacking.

      Well you could at least ask properly. No need for all the capitalized words, exclamation points, and questions marks. Your post makes you seem childish.

      • ozAzn on 23/08/2011 - 21:08

        geez whats the point of a forum when you can't express however you like… childish, serious, troll… the internet is a world of random possibilities! Good or bad! oh and ever thought that exclamation marks can make you sound optimistic?

    • issh on 23/08/2011 - 21:05

      maybe something like what reddit has
      Image of Reddit's Ranking System
      This will enable you to see the top post of-
      -This Hour
      -Today
      -This Week
      -This Month
      -All Time

      Of course, this is really unnecessary as it really isn't needed

      • ozAzn on 23/08/2011 - 21:12

        Why unnecessary? (unnecessary means not needed)

        Rankings like these can (note: possible) increase posts as posters may look for more decent posts to achieve a high rank in these charts.

  • ozAzn on 23/08/2011 - 21:15

    oh, I see the title now. It is HISTORICAL, therefore the list is in the right order. But I still stand on my point; why can't we have a chart where they are not in historical order, so an all-time page of the popular tab?

  • neil on 23/08/2011 - 21:43

    As you stated, it's historical. If you want the best ranked deals over the past 180 days (or other time periods), http://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/popular?days=180

  • ozAzn on 23/08/2011 - 21:58

    hmmm… just so you know, there is no link to a 180 days version until you passed the link. If there was, it was not where it would have been easily found. I would expect it to be in the "Most voted deals from the last" column

    I'm a big stats fan but anything over 90 days is not very useful for bargain hunters as almost all of the deals are expired. Let's see if Scott/Moocher can or want to make an all-time list. Hint: Best to ask nicely for things instead of having a go at the moderators and others here.

  • ozAzn on 23/08/2011 - 22:11

    sorry if you think i'm being aggressive… :) (smileys always work……. i think…)

  • scotty on 23/08/2011 - 23:47

    It was initially capped at 180 days (although without a link) is to limit the scope of searching. I can easily make a link that shows most popular deals from all times, although it would not be as useful as you would think.

    OzBargain is still a growing community and recent deals will get more votes than order deals. A very good offer 3 years ago would probably get less votes than our everyday front page deal. Does that make it a worse deal? Not really.

    • Livert on 06/09/2011 - 14:46

      Total votes for the deal/average no. of votes for all deals posted during 180 days prior, would be a better way to gauge a deal's "value".
