The `/zadao` command opens an interactive menu where anyone can pull up stats for the last 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days. {% hint style="info" %} `/zadao` is a stats viewer, not an alert. It works in groups and DMs โ€” anyone can use it, no admin permission needed. {% endhint %} *** ## What You Can See | Section | What it shows | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **๐Ÿ“Š Full Report** | The complete picture โ€” community activity, platform stats, and the Top Contributors leaderboard, all in one view | | **๐Ÿ‘ฅ Community** | Discord and Telegram member counts, net growth, active users, repeat users, total messages | | **๐Ÿฅ‡ Top Contributors** | Top 10 by **quality-weighted contribution score** (quality + answers + helping newcomers + mod-weighted reactions + consistency), each with a one-line "why" โ€” combined, or split by Discord / Telegram. See below. | | **๐Ÿ† Top Members** | Top 10 most active by raw **message count** in the chosen window โ€” combined, or split by Discord / Telegram | | **๐Ÿš€ Platform** | ZADAO platform metrics โ€” new signups, bounties launched, submissions made, gigs created, new partners, platform volume (TVE) | Every section is scoped to a time window you choose: last 24h, 3 days, 7 days, or 30 days. *** ## How "Active" and "Repeat" Are Counted | Term | Definition | | --------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **Active user** | Sent at least 1 message in the chosen window | | **Repeat user** | Was active on at least 2 different days in the window โ€” a stronger engagement signal | | **Net growth** | Members today minus members at the window start (positive = grew, negative = lost) | *** ## Use it on Telegram 1. **Open the menu:** * Type `/zadao` in any chat (group or DM). 2. **Pick a section:** * **Full Report** ยท **Community** ยท **Top Contributors** ยท **Top Members** ยท **Platform Stats** 3. **Pick a time window:** * **24h** ยท **3 days** ยท **7 days** ยท **30 days** 4. **(Top Contributors / Top Members only)** Pick a leaderboard: * **Combined** (best of both platforms) ยท **Discord-only** ยท **Telegram-only** 5. **Read the result.** Use the **Back to Menu** button to ask another question without retyping `/zadao`. *** ## Use it on Discord 1. **Open the menu:** * Type `/zadao` (the response is ephemeral โ€” only you see it). 2. **Pick a section, then a window** using the buttons. 3. **Result is shown in an embed** with a **Back to Menu** button to keep exploring. The same data is also available conversationally โ€” just ask Nova: > *"Who are the top 5 active members in Discord this week?"* *** ## ๐Ÿฅ‡ Top Contributors โ€” the quality score The **Top Contributors** leaderboard (and the **weekly recap**) ranks members by a **contribution score**, not raw message count โ€” so simply posting a lot doesn't put you on top. Each member's score combines: | Signal | What it rewards | | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Message quality** | Substantive, helpful, on-topic messages (rated by Nova) โ€” spam and filler score 0 | | **Answering questions** | Actually answering questions other members ask | | **Helping newcomers** | Welcoming and guiding people who recently joined | | **Reactions received** | Reactions on your messages โ€” **moderator/admin reactions are weighted highest** | | **Consistency** | Showing up across multiple days, not just one burst | Each member also gets a one-line "why" next to their score, e.g. *answered 7 Qs ยท helped 3 newcomers ยท 14 react pts ยท active 6/7d*. Daily caps keep any single long post or one busy day from dominating. **Top Contributors** (quality score) and **Top Members** (raw message count) are both available in the `/zadao` menu, so you can compare who's *most helpful* against who's *most active*. The weekly recap headlines **Top Contributors**. *** ## Weekly Auto-Recap Every **Monday at 09:00 UTC**, Nova posts a full weekly recap to the configured ZADAO Discord channel and Telegram chat. The recap covers the previous 7 days: community activity, platform stats, and the **๐Ÿ† Top Contributors** leaderboard (with a "Most active by volume" footnote for the raw-count view). > Example recap topics: *47 new Discord members, top contributors of the week (who answered questions, helped newcomers, earned mod reactions), 12 new ZADAO signups, 8 bounties launched, 3 new partners, $4.2K platform volume.* *** ## Privacy Note To compute community stats, Nova logs **message metadata** โ€” timestamp, sender username, and character count โ€” plus **reactions** (which message, who reacted, whether they're a mod). To score contribution quality, message **text is stored temporarily** and is **automatically deleted after 14 days**; only the resulting scores and counts are kept long-term. Message-metadata records older than 365 days are automatically deleted. *** {% hint style="info" %} This command is currently scoped to the official ZADAO Discord server and Telegram group. If you'd like the same tracking for another community, reach out โ€” generalizing it is a small additional setup. {% endhint %}
