What percentage of Ban evaders are reported by mods?
As we mentioned in the previous post, only around 10\% of ban evaders are reported by mods – which is driven by the lack of tools available to help mods proactively determine who is ban evading. This means that a large number of evaders are never actioned, but many are still causing issues in your communities.
