@Izzy What are you, Greek Orthodox? 8P

@Izzy I think there was actually some discussion of that here a couple weeks ago.

It seems that although Mi Yodeya didn't score high in the hat leaderboard, this site had the highest, or one of the highest, number of hats per person who got at least one hat, at 3.66 (399/109). I checked a few other sites, and didn't find even one that had an average more than 3 (though I haven't checked all of them and so I can't be sure).

Izzy

@MonicaCellio what was the conclusion?

@IsaacMoses well I'm part Polish, if that means anything.

@Izzy I was just joking about the fact that you're asking about Nittel now, rather than in late December

Izzy

@IsaacMoses ah, well that's part of the reason anyway, my chasidus holds it too

But so does Satmar, and they're Hungarian...

Think I need to research this

Unusual Mitzva opportunity, I suppose.

@Izzy I'm not sure there was a conclusion. You might want to look in the chat transcripts from a couple days before, though I don't remember there being a lot of discussion so it might not be worth the dig. Sorry!

@MonicaCellio Yeah. Thanks!

Izzy

@MonicaCellio Ok I'll do that thanks!

All: Sometimes there are things that are borderline offensive, or borderline off-topic, or borderline spammy -- I'm thinking especially of comments (i.e. comments on questions and on answers) -- which the moderators won't delete unilaterally because, well, they're borderline. Nonetheless, if you flag them, we will (sometimes!) delete them. Moreover, IIRC enough flags will cause a comment to be deleted even if the moderators don't act on it. So please flag! -- judiciously, of course.

also borderline obsolete. Note that if its obsolescence is dependent on the flag handler's knowing who is doing the flagging, please specify explicitly as comment flags are anonymous.

@ba That seems to say that we have a relatively low rate of newbie/established-user participation

6:40 AM

@IsaacMoses There were 29 with one hat. This site seems to have about the same amount of new users with 120+ reputation (no less, or else 101 reputation will be counted which doesn't indicate participation) is about the same as other sites in this site's hat range (such as SharePoint and Seasoned Advice).

Though if the hat thing is an accurate measure of participation from new users, maybe the reason is because most of the questions are incomprehensible to someone unfamiliar with Judaism. That would also explain why Japanese had similar results (over 3, but not as much as Mi Yodeya), since it's an uncommon language with an uncommon alphabet.

Couldn't stop myself. :D

@HodofHod that is...bizarre.

@MonicaCellio W actually had a game here once to see if anyone could figure out whose spam it was, but it ended up being too difficult.
