I am trying to find a good way to calculate the drama indicator of a reddit post programmatically as you can see in the title.
Until now all I can think of compering number of upmarseys and comments. If comments > upmarseys much drama
if comments are equal to upmarseys some drama
if comments < upmarseys there is no idea if there is drama or not
I am also thinking of looking average upmarsey and average comment from one week post history of subreddit, but I didn't try that yet.
One also can try to look dramatic users with dramatic post history. I know that reddit uses this to bust ban evading subs by tagging and stalking problematic users. But this seems too much since we don't have free access to reddit api.
I would love to hear more ideas about this. I want to build a drama watch bot where bot can suggest post that involve some drama.

Probably this is your best bet. Does the reddit API give any more info than what's visible on the website? i.e. you can see number of downmarseys too or something?

I don't think so but what you COULD do is take posts with a largege number of upmarseys and then take that number of upmarseys, then measure it again later to and...
if (newUpmarseyCount < OldUpmarseyCount +100)
Or something like that then you know it's controversial at least
