[Feature Idea] Make The Contributor Report More Useful

Overview

There are three main reports that can be checked to see how a user is doing:

1. User Promotions report
Self-explanatory. It lists the deletion percentage and negative score of recent posts for users that do not have the unlimited uploads privilege

2. Contributors report
Is supposed to tell how well users with the unlimited uploads privilege are doing. It lists the same information as #1.

3. Janitor Trials report
Tells how well users with the approve posts privilege are doing. It shows the quartile and median score of the posts that they have approved recently.

Problem Statement

As it stands, #2 is almost next to useless (to me at least). Since these users' posts will only get deleted if they send it through the queue or if they get flagged, almost everyone on that report has a 0% deletion rate.

Solution

I would much rather the report for #2 be like the report for #3, i.e. it would show the quartile and median score for posts those with unlimited uploads have uploaded recently.

This would make that report much more useful for me, as it's difficult to track how I'm doing overall, and it would be immensely cumbersome to have to find my median and quartile score manually.

Anyways, this is just how I've thought... What do other people with the unlimited uploads privilege think?

Don't want to sound too hostile but are you making it so that those with low scoring posts (not necessarily negative scoring ones) will have their privileges revoked?

As I stated in my original post, I'm more interested in my own score since it's difficult to track how I'm doing overall. If my score is low or gets lower, I'd like to know so that I can be more careful with what I upload. Conversely, if my score is high, or gets higher, I'd also like to know so that I can try to do more of the same.

If they tailored the report to providing that information on an individual basis, I'd be fine with that. Maybe make the full report visible to Admins and Moderators...???

You want to have an overall look on how you are doing? Then I would suggest that you are doing a simple search, by narrowing down to a certain ID range like user:BrokenEagle98 id:2400000..2480000 order:score. I guess that would give you the same idea. Not as detailed as a median score, but you'll see where most of your uploads have their score.

Well, but since this is a topic, and I have written a DM to an admin about this but not with the intent to discuss things. The idea was that users get this status removed that weren't uploading for a pretty long time. The Contributor list is long and some haven't uploaded since over 2 years and some over a half decade nothing.
So I made an analogy (I think I didn't mention it in the DM, though): Albert did once remove the approval permission multiple users that didn't approve anything. That was probably done due to the reform last year.

Since I got the answer that this isn't monitored, I guess I should bring it up here, because apparantly this has something to do with it. But this is a complete different approach than BrokenEagle's.

Actually, there were a few approvers that had their Unrestricted Uploads privilege revoked when they were demoted from their Moderator or Janitor status, one of them being Hazuki (葉月). This guy in particular hasn't uploaded anything for the past three years, so I think this would be a pretty good idea. Just do it to those who are no longer active in the site, not to some like jxh2154 who might upload something Miku related in the future.

The main issue with tallying by score is that popular copyrights on average score better than obscure copyrights or original images, even if the quality of the images are the same.

If you want to check your own performance, you can use the score:x search filter to filter out score thresholds, such as by using score:>10 to see which of your images scored higher than 10, and score:<=10 for the reverse. I myself occasionally check how my uploads have been doing (Pretty good) and use those parameters, though at this point I have a pretty good grasp of what does well and what won't on Danbooru. I assume there's a date function as well if you want to know your performance in a specific time bracket.

Oh man I still feel like such a noobie. What exactly are you meaning to show with such a user search?

This search has basically the same content as CodeKyuubi's post^^. But I did it with an ID range which is also like a date parameter.
But of course: You can add to this search score:>10 or score:<10.

Yep, this is definitely a thing. The same issue exists with comics in general.

A metric which might be better is showing a user how their uploads do compared to the average of the uploads for a copyright or any other tag or tag combination.

For instance, I upload a lot of Girls und Panzer. If I could get a report listing the median score for all uploads of that copyright (within 3 months), and then also get the median score for my uploads for that same copyright, that would definitely be useful to me.

For example...

Mean(Girls_und_Panzer age:..3mo) = 5
Mean(user:BrokenEagle98 Girls_und_Panzer age:..3mo) = 4

...would tell me that I'm pretty close to average, but maybe I should be a bit more careful.

The idea would be though that any tag combination could be used. For instance, you could search for comic, or comic + copyright, or anything else which might be pertinent to your own uploads.

Anyways, it's just a thought...

"Here was nothing of interest"

EDIT Doesn't matter. I think it's better to contact the moderator I contacted about this matter and ask if a new thread should be created, since this completely unrelated to this topic.
