A new wave of autoban? Another DT1 member got sig ban: - bill gatorBanned from displaying signatures until May 18, 2021, 08:56:42 PM
What could have be the reason for this ban again? bill gatot is one among the profiles i look-up-to, seeing this happening recently made me astonish in the way higher rank members accounts are draining down the grave on signature Ban. Let there be mercy and leniency from whosoever is behind this.

747x Autoban
Another day, another 137 Autobans:
213 more Autobans since yesterday:
And 318 more Autobans again in a day:
Only 67 new Autobans:
These 685 users have been Autobanned in the past 4 days:
Then, if I calculated correctly, the total number of banned users: 2556 ![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif)

Can you also do a count for every rank that has been banned up until now? Looks like a massive newbie accounts are the only ones who fills up the large number of your list. Might also want to see the percentage of banned accounts to the current active ones here... (Sorry AI, I'm not good at stats and you're the only one who can do the work 😂, I hope you don't mind my request )

The whole thing is kinda self explanatory, someone or group of users, could be bots nobody knows or maybe the moderators (handling the plagiarism reports) do know are reporting plagiarized posts in their numbers and as a result offenders are punished with permanent ban for regular users and other users who're considered as net positive and good for the forum are giving less punishment ( between 1-2years signature ban and 60days temporary ban). The whole banning of accounts for plagiarism isn't new but the numbers of banned account had been on the raising in the last couple of weeks.

Did they develop an automatic tool to check members' posts en masse, then moderators check suspicious posts manually and give out bans as required? Are there any false reports? In short, how does it work?

Everything is more or less explained in a few first posts, you just need to start reading from the beginning. In short, somebody is start reporting a lot of users, and considering number of reported / banned accounts he / she is probably using a bot for detecting plagiarism. Somone's been very busy reporting copy and pasters.
Yeah someone was working on a tool like this one, I know who but I will not post the name maybe he/she wants to stay anonymous anyway
The person who is reporting them should probably just be made a mod and I've suggested so in the past. Seems silly us having to verify them and handle them all. It's quite time consuming.

Asked same question here you can read comments below my question. My question is why now?
And yes all reports are reviewed manually by moderators and given ban based on the usefulness of the accounts to the forum. Some get temporary 60days ban and signature ban between 1-2years while others get permanent ban.

But why now
Why not? There isn't any specific reason to "why now"; There was way too much plagiarism content, so someone decided to create a bot... and that's it. and why so many?
Because it is a bot after all. It is probably checking old posts, and possible every new post created. Checking that many posts and reporting them is inhuman so a bot can handle it pretty well. Did they develop an automatic tool to check members' posts en masse, then moderators check suspicious posts manually and give out bans as required? Are there any false reports? In short, how does it work?
A bot reports, the mods check, if it's plagiarism = ban. Easy.
