MSP Anti-Abuse Team Weekly Report #29

Anti-Abuse Team Weekly Report #29

Friday - March 23rd - 2018

---

Nothing major to report, just a nice statistics update with a bit of commentary.

The details of this weeks prune of the member-list -

• 16507 Members before this week's prune was run. (588 new accounts since last week)
• 30 Day Prune has removed 311 dead accounts. (35 less were removed this Prune.)
• This leaves our count at 16196 Members after the prune.
• ~1500 Peak Concurrent users this week. (Chat participation feels a bit lower though.)

Updated stats on Bans and Blacklist -

• 2601 Discord bans (+142 new from previous)
• 3011 accounts in total are now Blacklisted by @minnowsupport (+160 from previous!)

The Charts

Member count data over time:

This shows the trend of members gained over time. I use the number of users counted after each purge each week.

Blacklist Counts by Type:

This gives a breakdown of the major categories we list an account under in our Blacklist.

In summary:

---

Definitely slower growth in the new joins this week. We feel there is likely a correlation with some of the more persistent multi-account groups finally giving up.

---

A quick review of things that get you blacklisted:

• A single image or even multiple images, with very little text or only a basic bit of information with it.
• An embedded YouTube or DTube video with zero additions to the post that provide value.
• Attempting to gain multiple upvotes outside our 1 per cool-down by any means.
• Any major violation of our community guidelines and rules. (This usually has to do with treatment of other users on the platform.)

Not all of these result in a ban from Discord since we want you to learn and improve.
