@krrishd Turns out I'm an internet saint too :D. Too bad this doesn't work.

Oh this is really awesome. I'm so curious how they calculate the scores. Proud of my 3% score- - but even then, my "worst" offenses were not actually haterisms. Idea: Allow users to report non-offenses so that the algorithm can improve over time based on these reports. Sort of like how users who report spam help spam-fighting tools get better. It would also be kinda funny / kinda cool to have an Internet's Most Wanted list of top trolls of all time.

@narekk I love both ideas! I'm definitely going to do the first one and I really like the second one, I'll just have to figure out how to do it. :)

@KevinMcAlear Maybe crowdsource it, have a landing page for people who want to "Report a Troll" and then rank the top ones of those :) Dunno just an idea. Good luck anyway, and holler if you want more feedback @narekk on twitter.

@narekk awesome, I like the idea! Thanks man, I may just reach out. :)

If anyone would like to know more about how it is built I wrote up the basics of how the algorithm works. and my findings in general. I'll keep working on it and if anyone has any suggestions let me know! :) http://kevinmcalear.com/thoughts...

@KevinMcAlear This is pretty awesome! I wonder if this could be used with Disqus usernames?
Kevin McAlear
@larry_lawal Good idea! I'm sure I could figure out something for it. :)
