isn't the date joined and level ratio better than that?
Better? No Equally valuable info? Yes
level / days is more about activity than quality imo. Enough 2 vote posts in a short time can get you a good ratio for that calculation. Why not have both displayed on the user info page.
By level I should have said point to daily posts/comments.
I still think that is more about activity vs quality. Activity ratios are easily skewed with lots of posts regardless of quality. You always get at least one point for a post.
What I propose is 100% quality driven (decided by the users). How many posts/comments in relation to how many upvotes recieved from the community defines the average quality of posts made by a user.
