Not necessarily true at all. I've been on this site for over a year, visit the site almost daily, and have done enough to reach contributor status, but only have 2 pages of favorites simply because I don't use the feature. If I like something enough I just save it.

I also save the pics I like onto my HD and tend to only use Favorites as a way to tag certain ones for quick future reference (an element in the picture, discussion in the comments, etc.).

It's somewhere to start in trying to gauge activity though. While there may be users that don't use the option much (e.g., you and me), it's at least a quick reference to what a certain person likes and whether or not they have the appropriate mindset to be a janitor on danbooru.

People with a lot of favorites that are high quality by danbooru standards have a higher probability of being both active and a good judgment of image quality, which is what I believe the starting criterion is considering.
