Infraction/Report statistics

This is to post some statistics about infractions and reports issued since the current system was put in place in late 2006 until to date.

First number of overall reported posts by section:



Note: OT accounts for about 95% or more of all Collosseum reports. Also NES started out as a Civ3 subsection but I put it into Other Games from the start for this graph.

 

Number of Reports vs Number of Infractions (not including warnings or infractions used to ban spambots).

 

Finally for now: Number of Infractions (not spambot bans) or Warnings by moderator - note that this shows three year intervals and color schemes are not identical between images...

 

civilization 5 was released in September 2010 and the spike in reports and the first spike in infractions related to that - I am still trying to figure out the spike in infractions in fall of 2011 (and have not yet gone back to the actual infractions to do so as its a tedious task...). Though it looks like more of an OT thing than Civ related.

Edit: ah well, figured it out - I accidentally did not remove the spam bans in that post with reports vs infractions - if you remove them the second spike is all but gone, there was a rather severe spam attack on this forum back in fall of 2011 with one week sporting almost a thousand spam bots banned by us...

 

this image now shows all infractions and warnings in grey, all infractions and warnings excluding spambot bans in red and infractions only (excl. spambots and warnings) in green.

 

unfortunately I do not have read access to those stats. Active population is of course not terribly well defined to start with - but posting activity in the respective subdivisions would be something that could be used - but pulling that out is quite tricky actually for a variety of reasons but lack of actual database access is the main one... You are right that it would be interesting to do though.
