We banned a bunch of accounts today and sent a tremendous amount of warnings.

I did accidently run a batch with a bad config setting and had to manually reverse things.

I think many that got warnings today may be from things up to two months ago.

We don't check warnings like we do bans, so you can get a warning pretty easily but it's nothing to worry about, just a way of us saying "hey, your account showed up on the naughty report."

Could you make it public who all got a warning, just for clarity's sake?

I think it would be amazing if we could correlate these warnings with participants of certain cliques/subverses.

I should make it all public.

I do not think it's a good idea to reveal how the algorithms work nor to sentence people for one instance of it flagging them. But at the same time, I think a very awesome solution would be to make it public how often people are flagged. Once and maybe it was just a chance and maybe it doesn't mean anything. Few times and its obvious your activities are very unusual or (obviously) you are not playing fair.

Judging by mine it is easy to figure out. It doesn't go off of IP or anything accurate. Certain accounts are considered shills, then anyone who both upvoats and gets upvotes by said shill account is considered an alt. I upvotes the porn spammer in ARC and was upvotes by them before. Even though I am the only person in my household that uses Voat and only have one account I was caught up in it because it is a spray and pray strategy.
