Just asking. Is one of the factors that causing the decline of visitors numbers to this forum also affected by the number of banned accounts coz doing cheating on bounties and did plagiarism? If yes, is the impact so significant?
Based on this
Banned users there is 159302 banned users last edited 18 November 2019. But Coin-1 is posted this in same thread :
Total banned 200317 [+12271] users:
- 168 Legendaries (0.08%) [+13 users]
- 456 Hero Members (0.23%) [+38 users]
- 1254 Sr. Members (0.63%) [+93 users]
- 2733 Full Members (1.36%) [+217 users]
- 4401 Members (2.20%) [+420 users]
- 2370 Jr. Members (1.18%) [+388 users]
- 188935 Newbies (94.32%) [+11102 users]
From that we can see that high ranked accounts (Legendary, Hero, Senior) represent only 0.94 % of all banned users, and that 94.32 % of banned users are just Newbies. That less then 6% represents 11382 users with rank above Newbie, and I think this is still one representative figure which has the effect of reducing the number of visitors.
