MSP Anti-Abuse Team Weekly Report #39

Anti-Abuse Team Weekly Report #39

Friday - June 15th - 2018

---

Skipped a week due to boring numbers. Even then, this is a moderately boring status update with small, but interesting numbers.

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

• 20145 Members before this week's prune was run. (573 new accounts since last week)
• 30 Day Prune has removed 400 dead accounts. (250 more were removed this Prune.)
• This leaves our count at 19745 Members after the prune.
• ~1400 Peak Concurrent users this week. (Keeping some decent engagement numbers in Discord.)

Updated stats on Bans and Blacklist -

• 4480 Discord bans (+247 new from previous)
• 6157 accounts in total are now Blacklisted by @minnowsupport (+480 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:

---

Work continues on the thing we aren't announcing yet, but it's effect on the Blacklist is already quite apparent. Recent work with other groups to help add our list to a Master list is a welcome thing for the chain, and I am sure more will be heard about it soon.

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.

Check out this post for more information.

This would be where I would come up with a pithy closing statement, if I were less sleepy.
