Due to data dumps from LoyceV, we don't have ranks of Autobans one-week before the banwave, we don't have data to compare average daily Autoban rates of each rank between before and after period. Let's make comparison based on Ratios, sorted by ranks.
Formula- Ratio = Autoban rate of After the banwave period / Autoban rate of Before the banwave period.
However, I guess the ratios of lower ranks, like Brand new, newbie, Junior member or member are likely higher than ratios of higher ranks. Mainly because lower-ranked users are mostly shitposters or farm accounts, and they usually do plagiarisms to save time. If the plagiabot runs with all-rank targets, I believe the ratio for lower ranked users will surely be higher than the ratio of higher ranked users.
Maybe things will become clearer if LoyceV can spend a little time to rerun data analysis for one-week period before banwave.[/list]
