A histogram would probably be easier to read and interpret. If you have a decent sample to compute the histograms from (easily collected using a script that traverses a user's contribs), it might even be possible to detect sock-puppets with a simple bag-of-words model.

I have a few but I've only posted a few times on each and they'd not provide a representative histogram. I dislike the site because it's designed and structured to facilitate censorship as well as advertising. It likely also displaces other venues that are actually usable. Many times if people don't like what you have to say, you'll fall below the minimum "karma" required to post. It's not a site that you can use for serious discussion.

What I had in mind actually was using BoW to find socks of Wikipedia 'insiders', but it would probably be more useful to try and extract other information about the sort of rhetoric and language patterns common to all of them.
