IMO it’s not unreasonable to ban users who are outliers in terms of complaints from other users.

- roenxi 5y agoIt isn't workable. If you ban the 2% most complained about users there will still be a 2% most complained about users. There should be something as close as possible to an objective standard of what is and isn't allowed.
- esperent 5y agoDo you have any evidence they are doing this? I rather think they are using a threshold like > 10 complaints in a certain time period.
- Mordisquitos 5y agoSupposing they do use a threshold based on an absolute value, by what measure would they have chosen this value in the first place? How, when, and why would they review this value? In the end, if their decision process is based purely on a number, it will eventually become a popularity contest or an excluder of outliers. It's turtles all the way down.
- Dylan16807 5y agoIf you don't delete historic data when calculating outliers, you can avoid that problem. Or using a dozen other methods. You're describing an extreme strawman of an algorithm.
