@ Stephen Terry   on computing Post Score:

1. Take the average number of upvotes for all your posts (out to two decimals);
2. Subtract the average number of downvotes for all your posts (again, out to two decimals);
3. Multiply the result by 100.

Et voila. The result is your post score. 

For example, say you have 100 posts. Say these posts have received 350 upvotes (an average of 3.50) and 50 downvotes (an average of .50). In this case, you would have a Post score of 300. 

To give another example, say our hypothetical 100-post member mostly discusses more obscure topics and gets less interaction, so they have 100 upvotes and 7 downvotes. Their Post Score is 93.

To give a third example, say a majority of members don't much like our 100-post member's contributions. They may get 100 upvotes and 200 downvotes, for a Post Score of -100.

Volume isn't necessarily the big driver here - though if many of your posts get no feedback, your score will regress to zero. If one had 1,000 posts with 5,000 upvotes but 4,000 downvotes, they would have a Post Score of 100 -- exactly the same as the member with one post, one upvote, no downvotes.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the explanation! I'm tired as **** right now so I don't really get it but I'll re-read it again when I'm more awake. For what it's worth, here are my current forums stats according to my stats page:

526 down now!

I believe every word he said in the Bradley Martin bit

So i knew about the banning of Muslim womens head wear.
but
did you know  Christian crosses and  Jewish kippas are also banned in schools?

A law introduced in March 2004 banned “the wearing of signs or outfits by which students ostensibly show a religious affiliation” in schools.

This includes large Christian crosses, Jewish kippas and Muslim headscarves.

French schools send home dozens of girls wearing Muslim abayas

9/5/2023

On the first day of the new academic year French schools sent home dozens of girls for refusing to remove their abayas, the education minister said on Tuesday.

Defying a ban on the Muslim garment, nearly 300 girls showed up on Monday morning wearing an abaya, Gabriel Attal told the BFM broadcaster. Most agreed to change, but 67 refused and were sent home, he said.

Attal said the girls refused entry were given a letter addressed to their families saying that“secularism is not a constraint, it is a liberty”.

If they showed up at school again wearing the abaya there would be a “new dialogue”, the minister said.

My thoughts:
Hundreds of years ago Europeans fled to America,  One of the main reasons for that was religious freedom.
Fast forward to 2023 and europe still thinks religious discriminations is the way to go.
Europe is dying.
Their offspring numbers are terrible.  They are so desperate for immigrates.
Don't politicians know 1 plus 1 is is 2?
Married people have more children than singles.
If your country is drying out wouldnt you want to have things that makes people have more babies?

 
Essentially all of the decline in fertility since 2001 can be explained by changes in the marital composition of the population. Married, single, and divorced women are all about as likely, controlling for age and marital status, to have kids now as they were in 2001. But today, a smaller proportion of women are married during those peak-fertility years.


Since 2008, about half of the decline in fertility can be attributed to changes in marital composition. In other words, even if we’d had the age-and-status-chained changes in birth rates that we have actually experienced if people had just continued to get and stay married at about the rates they did in 2008, American Community Survey-measured 2016 total fertility would have been 2.0 lifetime-births per women, instead of 1.85. That’s a difference of 0.15 births per woman, or, put another way, that’s about equivalent to a very big, expensive, and successful pro-natal policy campaign.

If your country is slowly dying because of low birth rates, why would you be actively trying to kill of religion? 


I find it funny that the media really only talk about the muslims when it is all religions in schools that pay.

BTW my mom had 6 kids.  My dad had at least 9 kids. Both unmarried. Moms kids all belong to my dad.
