Meta May Meta - featuring stats from the Clear the Queue event + more inside!
Hello transcribers, this month’s meta post is brought to you by the Engagement Team! All of the mods have so much fun creating and running the variety of games, events and discussions with you all! This post will primarily feature info about the recent Clear the Queue event, but we’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback you have for us about our other events too.
Just over a month ago we hosted our second ever official Clear the Queue event and we’re so proud to say that we did it! We cleared the queue... and it only took 11hours 7mins, 29 volunteers and 548 transcriptions!
We promised you some stats and pretty graphs... And here they are! Big thanks to Tim3303 for making them :D
[29 Participants, 53 Subreddits, 61 Post types, 548 Transcriptions, 37,875 Words written & 229,993 Characters typed.]
I am stunned! The last time we officially tried CtQ stretches all the way back to 2018, we had a great time trying it then but didn’t manage it. But not this time! With volunteers from around the globe taking part we aced the challenge so a massive well done and thank you goes out to everyone that participated, whether they were transcribing or helping out on Discord - WE did it, YOU did it! :D
Not only did we clear the queue, but we also hit our 140,000th transcription during CtQ! That number is so huge and incredible, thank you to everyone that’s ever been a part of ToR!
[Line graph displaying how long CtQ ran for Vs how many transcriptions had been done. Starts with an initial angle of around 75°, after 30mins it becomes an almost straight 45° line.]
After an initial boost, we found our stride and ploughed through for many hours, with several people staying for the entire duration!
[A horizontal bar chart displaying the participants with the most transcriptions: Cloakknight: 128, MurdoMaclachlan: 57, knightttime: 54, --B_L_A_N_K--: 48, astheriae: 42, Tim3303: 35, CuratorOfYourDreams: 27, KomaedaEatsBagels: 25, SirLordSagan: 24, Otus-: 18, Other Volunteers: 90.]
It comes as no surprise seeing who completed the most transcriptions in this time (well done Cloak!) but this Top 10 shows that it’s not just mods or long term volunteers taking part; it was so lovely getting to talk, hang out and transcribe with new and existing volunteers as we made it through the queue!
[A horizontal bar chart displaying the subreddits with the most transcriptions: ProgrammerHumor: 46, CuratedTumblr: 37, CasualUK: 33, hmmm: 33, aaaaaaacccccccce: 30, HistoryPorn: 27, me_irl: 23, therewasanattempt: 22, me_irlgbt: 20, DunderMifflin: 19, Other Subreddits: 258.]
As usual there was quite a big variety to the posts needing transcriptions, I’d be very surprised if that wasn’t the most ever r/HistoryPorn transcriptions completed in a day!
[A horizontal bar chart displaying the post types with the most transcriptions: Image: 158, Meme: 74, Twitter: 48, Tumblr: 41, Picture: 39, Facebook: 30, Video: 23, Reddit: 19, Chat: 18, Comic: 14, Other Types: 84.]
It wasn’t just short and sweet posts being completed that day, we had some mega transcriptions! (And nearly one really mega video transcription… but let’s not talk about that one! :’) )
[A horizontal bar chart displaying the participants with the longest transcriptions (in characters): Cloakknight: 3140, MurdoMaclachlan: 3051, Tim3303: 2508, SirLordSagan: 2324, knightttime: 2193, KomaedaEatsBagels: 2122, halailah: 2023, alexanderhameowlton: 1675, astheriae: 1201, Otus-: 1171.]
[A scatter plot displaying the median transcription length of a user in characters (x-axis) in relation to the number of transcriptions the user made (y-axis). The transcription length ranges from 0 to about 600, the transcription count from 0 to about 130. The user points are spread quite evenly in the 200-600 length range and the 0-60 count range. Notable outliers include a ~(0, 0) point and a ~(220, 130) point.]
[A pie chart displaying the post formats with the most transcriptions: Image: 519 (95%), Video: 25 (5%), GIF: 4 (1%).]
All in all it was a great event and so much fun spending time in voice chat/discord in general with you! But what did you think‽
What did you like about the event, what might you suggest or change for future ones?
Would you do it again and how often do you think the CtQ should run? 1 per year, 1 every season or 1 per month?
I’ll post some more data in the comments, but I’d love to hear from you too! Please share your thoughts on CtQ, the Treasure Hunts etc or any ideas of your own in the comments :D
And again, CONGRATULATIONS, WE DID IT! :D
