The Charts

Member count data over time:

This shows the trend of members gained over time. I use the number of users counted after each purge each week.

Blacklist Counts by Type:

This gives a breakdown of the major categories we list an account under in our Blacklist.

In summary:

Slow market, summer fun, enforcement continuing... It's made for a slow period in membership gains, etc.

A quick review of things that get you blacklisted:

A single image or even multiple images, with very little text or only a basic bit of information with it.
An embedded YouTube or DTube video with zero additions to the post that provide value.
Attempting to gain multiple upvotes outside our 1 per cool-down by any means.
Any major violation of our community guidelines and rules. (This usually has to do with treatment of other users on the platform.)

Not all of these result in a ban from Discord since we want you to learn and improve.

Check out this post for more information.

I think this is what a holding pattern looks like.

If you have any questions, please contact me on MSP or MSP-Probation
