While reviewing my own guidelines to assess an user's trustworthiness for loans, I ran into a number that quantifies how much an user has been, on average, active or involved into the server. Basically this is what you do:

• take the total amount of features the user has (in $)
  • this is semi-public information, in the sense that you can get a rough estimate by seeing their forum medals
  • this is an inclusive measure of:
    • how much irl money the use has spent on the server
    • how much in-game money the user has earned in-game (and then spent) for having someone buy them the features
    • how many coupon codes the user has earned while voting, competing in build contests, etc
• take the total amount of days since the user joined the server
  • this is semi-public too (an estimate would be the time since they joined the forum)
• divide the first number by the second: that's it!

My USD/day ratio is roughly $1.9/day. This means that, even if something more than a third of it has been bought with coupon codes (it has), I still have benefited the server with more than $1/day. Not bad.

What is your USD/day ratio?

 

Nobody beats me so far! Yay! :p

 

Wow, $4/day is a lot, what fraction of that was purchased with coupon codes/ingame money/irl money?
