Upvote to Downvote Ratio

Good afternoon everyone,
Has anyone looked into (or is it possible to pull) the top 100 all-time posters by upvote-to-downvote ratio? We’d need a minimum post count so the list isn’t skewed by low-volume accounts.
It would also be interesting to see the all-time leaders in total upvotes and total downvotes in TD history.
There should be a live ticker.
Downvoted myself, you people can’t hurt me.

Finally, a solid use case for AI.

I have no clue how to do it, but I’m going to try.

Per Grok
The site tracks upvotes and downvotes on individual posts (net scores appear next to posts in a user’s post history, such as +134 or -13), but it does not publish or display aggregate user-level statistics. There is no leaderboard, ranking, or profile metric for total upvotes, total downvotes, or upvote-to-downvote ratio.
What the site does show
• User profiles list favorite team, location, bio, post count, registration date, and recent activity.
• The public user list can be sorted by post count (or registration date), but not by any vote-related metric.
• Post histories show per-post net vote scores only—no cumulative totals or ratios for a user.
Requests for this data
Users have repeatedly asked admins (including in OT Lounge and Help Board threads over the years) for exactly this kind of ranking—top upvoted/downvoted posters, ratio leaderboards, or totals added to profiles. Those requests have not resulted in any public data release. Comments in those threads indicate that only site admins (such as Chicken and CC) have access to the underlying vote database.
Most upvotes / most downvotes of all time
No official all-time totals or rankings exist publicly for either cumulative upvotes or downvotes by poster. Individual high-visibility posts or threads sometimes get discussed (for example, certain long-running or polarizing threads have been noted in the hundreds or low thousands of votes in older discussions), but these are anecdotal and not comprehensive or ranked across all posters.
In short, compiling a top-100 list by ratio (or identifying the all-time leaders in total upvotes or downvotes) would require internal database access that is not available to the public. If you’re looking for subjective community views on “best” or most-respected posters, those appear in occasional OT ranking threads, but those are opinion-based and unrelated to actual vote ratios.

My stronger hypothesis: The real top ten would disproportionately feature helpful posters on Food and Drink, Home and Garden, and other practical boards, rather than the most recognizable O-T Lounge personalities.
So treat those names as a starting pool, not a credible statistical result. A proper ranking would probably surprise both of us, which is precisely why it'd be interesting.
The data needed isn't exposed to get the list you want.

Speculation of the list is needed before AI releases the results.
