NickyJ asked some months ago, if we did not have any statistics about infractions and such stuff. No, we didn't, but I was interested myself in this, so I just did one. I hope this can give us some overview...or at least something a bit interesting to read 
.
Please note that there are no names of single users present.
In the year 2011 all users created together 168 pages of reports, which are in total 7292 reports, with an average of 20 reports per day and a standard deviation of 8.27.
Additionally 36 private messages and 44 visitor messages have been reported.
We got the most reports with 53 on August, 5th, and 50 reports on February, 19th and we had three other days with more than 40 reports,
Lowest number of reports we had on December, 2nd (2 reports), and around the new year (December, 31st and January, 1st, with 3 each). No day passed without any report.
Overview (attention: big! Better to open the image separately).
Please note that the graph is a 7 days moving average graph, so every point is the mean of the datapoint and the following seven days.
Reports per forum
We got reports from 144 different forums, 36 forums of these with only single reports (mostly modding or DG subforums).
The vast majority came from the off-topic forum, with 3718 reports (51%), followed by Civ5 General Discussion with 1361 reports (18,7%). Only 6 othe forums had more than 100 reports (from low to high: Civ5 - Strategy and Tips, Humor & Jokes, Civ4 - General Discussions, Arts & Entertainment, Site Feedback, All Other Games), lowest with 107 (1,5%), highest with 211 (2,9%).
Most unusual forum for a report: The administrators forum (1 report).
Below a table of all forums with 50 or more reports:
Reports per user
The 7292 reports were a result of 785 different users who reported at least one post.
343 users reported only once a post, 129 users only twice, leaving 313 users with three or more reports.
The most active "reporter of posts" reported 799 posts (11,0%), the second most active 499 (6,1%) and the third most active 261 (3,6%). Six other users reported more than 100 posts, 25 other users with more than 50 posts.
The mentioned top 9 reporters make up 30% of all reports, the top 34 reporters 54%.
All moderators together generated 4837 infractions and 1014 warnings. Ignoring warnings, an average of 13,2 infractions were issued per day, with a standard deviation of 16,2.
Infractions per day
Regular users
The highest infraction count for regular users was on Mai, 12th, with 36 infractions, followed by Mai, 22nd (29) and June, 2nd (23). There were 65 other days, on which 10 or more infractions were issued.
We had 11 days, on which no infractions for regular users were handed out (6 in December, mainly end, and 3 in November), and another 15 with only 1 infraction.
Bots
Most infractions were issued at June 16th/17th, with 266 and 95 infractions, respectively. That were the days when it was discovered that bots with only homepage links and no posts are hiding in the birthday calendar, and Camikaze and Knight-Dragon cleaned it out.
We had three days with more than 30 infractions, all in July, and 12 more days with more than 20 infractions.
On 16 days no bots were banned via the infraction system, mainly in the first quarter of the year.
Preemptive banning of advertisers was stopped at the end of October, the IP block list from StopForumSpam was installed at the beginning of November. So please notice the last peak in the infractions at the middle of October.
After the OT rules were clearified and the RD discussions were started, an overall drop in the infractions can be noticed, with a rise in between (probably due to the testing how exactly the rules work now).
Overview (attention: Big! Better to open the image separately).
Please note that the graph is a 7 days moving average graph, so every point is the mean of the datapoint and the following seven days.
Infractions per type
186 different types of infractions were issued.
From these 136 were only handed out once. In this category mostly fall custom infractions, e.g. combined flaming and trolling.
From the 4837 infractions 2526 (52,2%) were issued for "Spammed advertisement" (so ad bots). Most infractions for real users were (minor) trolling with 524 (10,8%) and trolling (420, or 8,7%).
Three types of infractions were handed out more than 100 times (Spam, Minor Flaming, Flaming).
16 infractions related to piracy were issued, 47 for double logins.
1 infractions was handed out for the abuse of the report system.
Infractions which can lead to a direct temporary ban (advocating (mass) murder, death/violence threads, encouragement of suicide or self harm) were issued 9 times.
Below a table with everything which was issued more than 10 times:
Infractions per user
3093 different users received at least once infraction. 2774 got one infraction (if "Spammed advertisement" is substracted this makes 248; note that bots can accidentially also get more than one infractions, so a slight inaccurary here), 102 got two infractions.
The two top offenders reached each 42 infractions. 15 other users received 20 or more infractions (two permantently banned in the meantime), 44 others with more than 9, but less than 20 infractions. The group of people with more than 20 infractions consists mainly, but not exclusively, of OT users.
Infractions per mod
Most total infractions were handed out by "Mod X" with 1535 (31,7%), followed by "Mod Y" (1203 infractions or 24,9%). Two mods issued more than 200 infractions and five other mods more than 100.
Most spam infractions were issued by "Mod X" (1263), "Mod Y" (600), and "Mod Z" (174). No other mod handed out more than 100 spam infractions. Note that most infractions were probably caused by profile infractions for bots without any posts and that this practive has been stopped.
Three mods, which have infracted at least one poster, did not ban any bots.
In contrast to this, 2 mods nearly exclusively infracted bots.
Please note that not every permaban is done with an infraction, so that some are missing here. At least one of the posters who seems not to have infracted any bots banned a couple, but did this in the other way.
There is a change in the places if the spam infractions are substracted.
The number of infractions for real users is lead by "Mod Y" (603), followed by "Mod X" (272) and "Mod A" (211). Only two other mods handed out more than 100 infractions for regular users (189 and 111, respectively).
