Sure, using median might help, as would grouping. Any suggestions as to the criteria? :)

I'd like to see a XP per response level stat ( Re^n: ), but accessing the DB is outside of your possibilities.

Yeah, if only i had db access. It'd be fun to write and run all those queries.

Well you can work around it...

... you can easily order a monks writeups by reputation.

And if you cast votes at certain thresholds (like quantiles) you can even tell the vote range and calculate a statistically solid estimation.

But I wouldn't expect tye to be too happy if you do this automatically and at large scale ;)

update

e.g. after ordering your 863 posts best first and voting in a logarithmic scale I see

Rank  Votes
430    5
215    8
107   13
53    18
26    21
13    26
7     30

Ya know, that sounds cool and stuff. But, i sadly have to admit, have no idea what any of it means.

Ordering Writeups by rep works even if you cannot see the rep? That is, is it accurate?

And if you cast votes at certain thresholds (like quantiles)

Please explain that a bit more. I keep thinking i know what you mean, but i don't.

The purpose of the above query is just on SioB, the one static page, and the data that is there. It might be fun for more pages to include queries but that would not be large scale. Eventually, though, i might use the xml for all the polls and poll ideas to have some fun querying with that.

And my voting? What exactly are you doing? Admittedly, the big words make it sound interesting. :P

I will neither confirm nor deny the veracity of that statement, though i think you meant to add a comma to it. :)
