Maybe start banning bots

114,237/3 = 38k bans per month on average, which is still more than 33,472.

You are wrong to accuse them of fibbing.

You are right here, I divided by 4 for some reason which was incorrect. Math error on my part. I’ll edit the post.

The only way that can be read is that the numbers only apply to the period between the linked update and the December post,

I think that’s an overly literal and most likely incorrect way of reading that post. You might be correct, but I’d bet against it. The update in August said

@GnomeSayin-11972

So far this year we’ve banned hundreds of thousands of accounts

which in the overly literal interpretation means at least 200,000 but given the year-end total of “over 284,000” implies a number between 100,000 and
+284999
- 66945
-114327
=103817

So IF your overly literal interpretation is correct and the year-end update covers late October through late December, then in the first two thirds of October they banned between 0 and 3,817 accounts, inclusive. Slackin’.

But I don’t think Gnome is into the overly literal interpretations like you are, given the “hundreds of thousands” to describe less than 104,000.
