Patent PendingSimply made by measuring the amount of posts one makes for personal/audience-directed entertainment. Could use some work, but, it's for the sake of humor. Comments appreciated.
Here it goes.
(Amount of posts made - Amount of posts made that were for the sake of entertainment)/(((Amount of posts made that were for the sake of entertainment * (Amount of times banned for these posts + 1)) + Amount of offensive posts made anywhere) + 1)
The results are ranked here
Less than or equal to 0.25 = Greatly Immature
Less than or equal to 0.5 but greater than 0.25 = Very Immature, Probably aged 12-15
Less than or equal to 3 but greater than 0.5 = Immature, Probably aged 13-16
Less than or equal to 15 but greater than 3 = Average, Probably aged 13-19
Less than or equal to 50 but greater than 15 = Mature, Probably aged 13-30
Less than or equal to 200 but greater than 50 = Very Mature, Probably aged 16-45
Greater than 200 = Professional
The amount of posts made for entertainment is any post that was made for the sake of humor or entertainment to oneself or others without a direct objective present. Therefore, Elements Mafia, though made for entertainment, has an objective present, and doesn't count towards immaturity. However, posts such as Corrupt A Wish, with no objective present but laughs, does count towards immaturity. I will say right now in bold letters:
This post is not directed towards any users. Anybody found exactly fitting the criteria for immaturity are completely coincidental and I didn't target anybody with this post.For anyone who fails to understand this equation, let's take a look at Jimmy.
Jimmy has made 300 posts. 100 posts in the humor section because he feels that he is quite a comedian. He has never been banned, but however, has insulted another member in the forums for telling him his jokes were bad. He insulted this guy only once.
(300 (Amount of posts) - 100 (For the sake of entertainment)) / ((100 (For the sake of entertainment) + 1 ("Defending himself")) + 1 (So that we aren't dividing by zero))
In order of operations,
(300-100)/((100+1)+1)
200/((100+1)+1)
200/(101+1)
200/102
~1.96
The number 1.96 falls into the rank of immature.
Happy-go-lucky Jimmy is immature by the equation's standards.
Let's take a look at an actual forum member. Sir deathreign3. Please note: I have no idea who this user is.
Deathreign3 has a total of 624 posts at the moment counting this one. Roughly one of every seven posts he makes by default is intended for laughs. That's approximately 90 posts. He has posted about 17 times in Corrupt a Wish and 5 times in Vending Machine. He has never been banned and hasn't insulted anyone directly.
(624-112)/((112+1)+1)
That roughs out to about 4.5.
Deathreign3 is an average guy. Probably aged 13-19 if you want to take it a step further.
Calculate yourself. Post here if you think you've a better equation!
