Before & After Banwave period comparison

• Before: one-week before the banwave: 764 Autobans
• After (from 11/5 to 23/5/2019 ~ 13-day period: 2575 Autobans

The average of daily autobans are 110 and 198 cases per day for before and after the banwave periods, with the cutoff day is 11/5/2019 (the start day of after period). It means that the average of autobans per day of after period is 1.8-times (198/110 ~ 1.80) higher than the figure of before period.

In addition, if we counted only the last three days, from 21/5-23/5/2019, the average rate of Autobans per day is 405/3 ~ 135, that has dramatically fallen compared to the 10-day period from 11/5-20/5/2019, at 210 Autoban per day in average. The banwave has been likely cooled down a little bit last three days, compared to the rate of average autobans per day of the before period at 110.

I wasn't planning to continue the daily updates, some say I bump too many topics in Meta already.
See LIST: Banned users for a daily updated (very) long list (no ranks or date specified).

It's a large number that hit several highly established accounts, and I'm pretty sure the more lenient plagiarism bans were caused by the fact that so many appreciated members were banned too.

Thanks for pointing out my typo, I don't know how else I could have gotten that number.

LoyceV made a topic there: A wave of bans: 400 yesterday, 300 the day before. What changed?, from which I took data for my topic.
By now, LoyceV updated data in that topic on daily basis, so I think that my topic will be updated on daily basis too. However, in the future, it will depends on data updates in LoyceV's topic.

I will do two things:
- Observe banned users during the banwave, sorted them by ranks.
- Compare statistics of the before and after period of the banwave (the chosen cutoff day is 11/5/2019)

Summary:
- The higher ranks users are, the lower cases of Autobans as well as lower proportional percentages of each ranks per total Autobans.
- The average of Autobans per day of the after period is 1.97-times higher than the figure of before period. Cutoff day between two periods is the 11/5/2019.

Data (from LoyceV)
Previous week before the banwave
764 autobanned users (there is likely a typo made by LoyceV). It should be 764 rather than 747? (If LoyceV see my topic, please confirm this typo). However, there is no data on autobans  over ranks.
