Average Votes Per Video

Who has the highest average votes per video? Is there an easy way to find out? Can we give some sort of sift-honor for efficiency? I mean, we're all about quality, not quantity, so why not reward those that have consistently contributed quality videos....?

Okay, I'll be honest, I think I have a pretty high ratio (49.67). I'm just wondering if I'm special.

Ahhhh! I deny everything!!! oh, wait... =P

I've always thought it would be great feature to be able to sort like that as well. I'm a big fan of quality over quantity. So I try to find really good stuff to bring to the sift.

The highest ratio I've found is this guy. But it is a result of an insanely popular video combined with only submitting 3 videos. For a sorting mechanism like this to be useful, there would need to be some way to take into account the number of videos posted by the user vs. their ratio to really get a sense of the quality they sift. I hope I'm making sense =)

oh and im up to 56.36 now *stabby stabby*

22.69 up from around fourteen. I personally care a lot more about my comments to votes ratio. Before the 3/11 Siftpocalypse, it was 4:1 votes to comments. I've been trying to get it back to that level ever since. I'm not helping by making this comment.

While we're at it, please move the "load all comments" function to the top, perhaps directly under ADD COMMENT, so one does not have to scroll all the way down the thread in order to load them all.

I know kronos isn't here right now, but I totally agree with him. It doesn't matter how many votes your vids get, it's all about eclectic taste. Look at sifters like Farhad, Schmawy or Eklek - they're the heart of this place and they don't really care how many votes their vids get, they only care about spreading knowledge, obscure vids or their personal likings. I have great respect for that kind of thinking.

Nonono, this is the heart of this place nowadays.

I wasn't around here during that time but looking back at that massive wall of P's something fishy must have been going on. >> ^aspartam:
Wasn't it proven that that video was insanely popular because of some sort of hacking/gaming? Just look at how many first time sifters voted for it, never to vote again.

[...] it is a result of an insanely popular video

Well, the statistic is flawed at least since 4.0 anyway, isn't it? As far as I know, the numerator includes votes on all your videos, even PQ'ed ones, while the denominator sums up published videos only. Thus a large PQ actually increases your average while discarding a 1-vote-video decreases it.
