Census

Every species ranked by landings. A landing is the first request of a session, and a session is one species on one network with no gap longer than 30 minutes.

A session that failed Customs is counted under the impostor, never under the name it used. For a species that names an operator, the count includes sessions that could not be verified, and says how many.

Alignment

Two scores from 0 to 100 for each species, from what it did here in the trailing 30 days. Lawful is about keeping the site’s rules. Good is about being honest about who it is and gentle on the island.

Each score is the share of opportunities a species handled well. The share is worked out for each input and the inputs on an axis are averaged, so each counts the same. 67 or more earns the top label, 34 to 66 the middle one, and anything lower the bottom one.

A named operator is scored from verified sessions only. A session that failed Customs is scored as the impostor and never as the name it used.
Where an operator documents no check, nothing can be verified. The species is then scored on its own, marked unverified, and nothing is said about the operator.
A score needs at least 200 requests and 5 sessions in the 30 days. Below that the answer is “Insufficient data”.
A fetch sent on someone’s behalf is never counted as breaking a rule, and the order that makes them is scored on identity and rate only.
Provisional. Two caps sit on top of the scores, and their thresholds are not settled: a species cannot be labelled Lawful when 10% or more of its sessions asked for a disallowed path, and cannot be labelled Good when 10% or more of its sessions failed Customs. Both will be set from the first 30 days of real traffic.

Insufficient data: no species has 200 requests and 5 sessions in the trailing 30 days yet, so nothing is placed.

The nine squares. Lawful runs left to right, Good runs top to bottom.

The counts behind each score

No species is scored yet.

The inputs

Input	Axis	Measured at	One opportunity	Handled well
Reads robots.txt before anything else	Lawful to Chaotic	The buoy	A session that asked for anything other than robots.txt	It had read the file first, in that visit or in the 24 hours before it
Stays out of disallowed paths	Lawful to Chaotic	The Forbidden Door	A session	It asked for no path that robots.txt disallows for it
Waits out Retry-After on a 429	Lawful to Chaotic	The Turnstile	A return to the Turnstile after it answered 429	The return came after the wait it was given
Honours nofollow	Lawful to Chaotic	The Side gate	A session served a page that carries the nofollow link	It did not follow the link
Claimed identity verifies	Good to Evil	Customs	A session whose claim Customs could check	The claim passed
Keeps within the published rate limit	Good to Evil	Quarantine	A session	It never made more than the limit allows inside one minute
Pages taken in the Pitfall and the Climb before leaving	Good to Evil	The Climb	Each page the bound allows a session that fell in	The session left without taking it

Not measured yet

These are in the method and take no part in any score, because the log cannot answer them yet.

Input	Axis	Measured at	Why not yet
Honours Crawl-delay, where the operator claims support	Lawful to Chaotic	The Slow path	The site has no checked list yet of which operators say they support Crawl-delay. Request spacing is recorded for everyone and shown on the Rules page.
User agent names an operator and a contact address	Good to Evil	Port 443	An event carries the species a user agent matched and nothing else about it, so whether it gave a contact address is not in the log.
Offends again after Quarantine	Good to Evil	Quarantine	The warden holds and releases a bot from what the log says, but a hold and a release are not themselves written to the log yet.
