Average received log lengths

Question

In our South Austrlalia  facebook group we once again had a discussion about bad logs eg just writing TFTC.

Many commented that generally 'the better the cache, the better/longer the log will be'.

There are many metrics about cache quality (FP, FP%, Wilson). A new measure could be 'Average log length'. It would be great to see a new stat displaying this. Also by graphing the average length by CO, you can determine who's caches are generally best appreciated.

This stat is already available by cache name in the profile stats ('Hides' tab under "Log Length, words:" ) so it may be relatively easy to create a graph for this metric.

Answer 1

This has been suggested 1-2 times before. Our investigations shows that log length has nothing to do with cache quality. Or to be more correct, they are related, but can not be measured with the length of logs. At least not in a way that we could figure out.

I am also unsure if there would be any need of a 5th version of "best caches" (FP, FP%, FPW, what's hot).
