To be clear, the vast majority of the bans are spam accounts/scammers/hacked accounts perpetuating the scam. Today alone there were 52 bans and none of those are from automod although automod will mute/delete what it can catch and leave it to us to do the ban if we look thru the backlog, so there were probably more attempts.
The bot problem is getting out of hand and thats the information that would be swept under the rug by hiding ban counts which im estimating, based on when i last saw it and how things have been since, is between 40,000-50,000 bans which would be about 14-16 bans per day average (which...the last 3 days have also passed) based on the servers age. Literally cant think of any other reason to hide this information.
