What is a Ban Rate?
A ban rate is a percentage that measures how often bans occur relative to the total number of opportunities or chances. This metric is commonly used in gaming, moderation systems, and competitive environments to track disciplinary actions.
Formula
The ban rate is calculated using this formula:
$$\text{Ban Rate} = \frac{\text{Total Bans}}{\text{Possible Chances}} \times 100$$
Where:
- Total Bans is the number of bans issued
- Possible Chances is the total number of opportunities where a ban could occur
Example Calculation
If there were 150 bans out of 1200 possible chances:
$$\text{Ban Rate} = \frac{150}{1200} \times 100 = 12.5$$
This means that 12.5% of all chances resulted in a ban.
Common Applications
- Gaming: Track champion/character ban rates in draft phases
- Content Moderation: Measure ban frequency relative to user actions
- Platform Analytics: Monitor enforcement rates across communities
- Competitive Analysis: Compare ban patterns across different contexts
