- A full stance reversal scores higher when it appears in many posts; swings are discounted for posters with fewer than five clear posts in either era.
Field notes
The page separates explicit support and opposition from mere candidate mentions, so a joke or news reference is not counted as a declared stance. Poster lookup is limited to people with at least 50 thread posts and is described as linking to dated 247Sports posts. Later comparisons use separate thresholds: the Toxic Meter requires 30 football posts, while the swing measure discounts posters with fewer than five clear posts in either era.
