Can no longer see exactly how many posts you have made per hour

I still don't have an answer to my original question. But I don't really need one if there isn't an easy answer, I'll be fine.

It's a very niche feature I haven't heard about previously. The only "question" from the OP that I could discern was "what happened to this feature," which is a question only a mod or admin can answer.

I mean an admin has already responded to this with the answer of "Waco, Texas", so I'm assuming they don't really know what happened to it either.

There's a madman living in Waco.

The staff collectively thinks about the post-statistics screens so infrequently that we weren't aware anything even changed with them.

We encourage you to think about them as frequently as we do—they are not intended to be a core feature of using the forum.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. All good and not a big deal lol.

Not all of us are autistic.  You probably ought to stop assuming everyone in the hobby is.

A thousand points to Valerie for this one. And now we're gonna move on to "Scenes From A Hat"...

He should have answered in purple text.  Then you'd have taken him seriously.

Scott didn't put anybody anywhere.

In Wichita, not everyone is autistic, but everyone is a nerd.  Too many engineers.

Never said that. I meant a lot of (probably over represented compared to normal) autistic people, not exclusively autistic people.

You certainly inferred it. 

[kphoger]

normal

Don't call me that.  You take that back.

[Max Rockatansky]

I certainly don't count myself as "normal" based off the recreational activities that I regularly partake in.  All the same it doesn't mean that I have some sort of neurodivergence.

Really?  I don't.

I don't think I did or at least I didn't think so. I just meant there are a lot here not everyone. But if I did yeah I didn't mean it that way.

I didn't think you inferred it.  And you're correct, that autism is over-represented on this forum.  And you're correct, that this means an unusually high number of forum members obsess over statistics.  But that doesn't mean you should obsess over statistics.

[Max Rockatansky]

Look how well statistics worked out for Beltway recently in the Key Bridge thread.  He was citing AADT stats to make a point to Rothman about the I-81 viaduct in Syracuse.  Problem was he got called for omitting (cherry picking IMO) less data driven research as part of the corridor EIS.  Numbers don't always tell the full story, even with this hobby. 

Regarding post counts/stats, I still maintain they have very a little use and probably should have been turned off.  What use they have has been overridden by the problems seem to repeatedly cause.

Didn't the last guy who made a comment like that (in the US 23 corridor thread) get banned or put on an 80-day watchlist?

[Max Rockatansky]

Got me.  Look, I'm not offended by what RGT said.  Although i do get annoyed when some of the posters bring up that they assume most (or all) hobby members have some form of neurodivergence.  RGT is claiming that isn't the case with him.  I still think what he wrote can be taken that way.

I think the best description for me appears in Scott5114's profile: "Nitpicker of unprecedented pedantry." After all, this morning as part of my real job I flagged a comma that was italicized when it should not have been and noted an issue regarding whether a footnote jump should go before or after a closing parenthesis.

TempoNick bluntly used autism as a way to insult others, trying to derail the conversation by making the thoughts of others seem trivial. That's a pretty far cry from what happened here, though I do agree that you should be careful about insinuating that everyone on the forum has a neurological disorder.

[Max Rockatansky]

I still want to know if TempoNick drives a Ford Tempo.

I'm sorry if I came off that way, it certainly wasn't my intention.

"Normal" is just a setting on the dryer.

As far as posts per hour, is this whole thread an attempt to increase it?

[kphoger]

"Normal" is just a setting on the dryer.

ok patsy

[cockroachking]

As I write this post, I am only about 2/3 normal. The other 1/3 of me is parallel.

(This is all relative to the ground of course.)

[Roadgeekteen]

When compared relative to humans compared to non human animals, I'm 100% normal. When compared just to each human individually, I'm 0% normal.
