Funny, I've always wanted to go by the nickname, "Threadkiller."

I just wrecked your thread, right?

Hmmm....I think I might be able to come up with a way to use wget, sed, uniq, etc. to nab the raw data I need to compute this. The devil is in the details, though.

Do we look at all forums (minus the PbP stuff), or just General? And what constitutes a "dead" thread? My shell-fu really isn't good enough to extract data according to its last post date. Hmmm...

Probably the best I can do is pull data just from page 2 onward.

I have given someone purpose. This pleases me.

Ok, I've put together the statistics. The "thread kill" count is based on the last poster for each thread starting on page 2 or later for all of the non-PbP forums. Announcement threads appearing on every page were deducted from the count. The new Food and Excercise forums do not yet have a page 2, and therefore were not counted at all.

Spreadsheets with all thread-killers are here:

Glade Kills (Excel)
Glade Kills (Open Office)

Top thread killers by absolute number of threads:
Code:
Poster         Thread Kills    Post Count    Kills per post
Müs            81              2206          3.67%
Diamondeye     75              2100          3.57%
Micheal        71              1895          3.75%
Rafael         69              1681          4.10%
LadyKate       63              1434          4.39%
DFK!           57              1562          3.65%
darksiege      55              1226          4.49%
Kaffis Mark V  54              1197          4.51%
Shelgeyr       45              348           12.93%
Numbuk         45              414           10.87%


However, this really doesn't tell the whole story. A poster's activity level certainly has some bearing on their kill count. That is, all other things being equal, someone with 1000 posts is likely to have more thread kills than someone with 10. So I've also included kill percentage data (thread kills per post). From this weighted kill count, I've calculated your "kill percentile" based on the presumption of a normal distribution. This should be taken with a generous grain of salt since the data doesn't really quite fit a normal distribution. (I'm not sure why):

Image

Here are the top ten thread-killers weighted by post-count:

Code:
Poster       Thread Kills    Post Count    Kills per post

Amdee        11              74            14.86%
Sarmaran     4               27            14.81%
Dedolito     1               7             14.29%
Shelgeyr     45              348           12.93%
Wwen         25              196           12.76%
telloran     4               32            12.50%
Emer         2               16            12.50%
Arbas        1               8             12.50%
Adrak        29              248           11.69%
Oonagh       9               78            11.54%


The problem with this approach is that it tends to be overly punitive to people with lower post counts. This become really clear if you do a scatter plot of kill rate vs. post count. Posters with 500+ post counts are rarely above 6%, and posters with 1000+ post counts are rarely above 5% (slightly less than average). Müs, for instance, is somewhat below average in terms of kill rate, in spite of having the highest absolute kill count. There's a great deal more variance in posters with lower post counts, which is not all that unexpected, I guess.

107 out of 155 (69.0%) gladers have killed at least one thread.

Posters with appreciably high post counts and significantly low kill rates:

Monte -- 1704 posts, 22 kills (1.29%)
Khross -- 1032 posts, 10 kills (0.97%)

The poster with the highest post count and no thread kills is Ienan, with 108 posts. Roofus Gunthar is a close second at 100 posts. Sean gets a distant 3rd place at 32 posts.

Edit:

Forgot to point out that Shelgeyr has the highest kill rate (12.93%) for anyone with >100 posts (348). Numbuk probably gets an honorable mention here, too, with 414 posts and a 10.87% kill rate. But as I said earlier, posters with <500 posts tend to exhibit a lot of variance.

Do you have any way to correct the moderators for threads in which their kill is an announcement of a lock?

(Not sure it makes much difference, but just wondering.)

Mmm...you probably could, but I doubt it would change the statistics much. Most of the moderators have pretty hefty post counts, so the 3 or 4 threads they may have locked that way wouldn't change things much.

There's not way I can catch Mus or DE in post count, not after IT slayed Glade RB at work.

However, I think I could catch them in this.
