Degen

Here’s what led to bans this season:

1. McDegen Bot Overuse: Users who sent 60% or more of their tips to the McDegen bot were banned. Mint.club wasn’t intended to be a quick monetization method, but unfortunately, that’s how it’s been used.

2. High Tip Reciprocity: We analyzed how often tips were reciprocated. For example, if you tipped someone 100 DEGEN and they tipped you back 100 DEGEN, reciprocity was 100%. We leaned in favor of users by analyzing the 40th percentile. If 60% or more of the users you tipped reciprocated at least 95% of the amount you tipped them, you were flagged. For example, if you consistently received 95 DEGEN back for every 100 DEGEN you tipped more than 60% of the time, you were banned.

Who really got affected by this Tip Reciprocity. Most of the average allowance users will def. get banned and that is what happened in last season. High allowance will always get away because their reciprocity is not always like low allowance people. Check this locked degen vs banned numbers. Low allowance people will always gets banned because most of the time their reciprocity is high. This is so bad and TRUST is gone no matter what you do !!!

Really sad mahesh. Don’t see much point in this anymore. 
I always defended degen. We were told we were on the dark side. People laughed at us. We stayed here no matter what… when all left we still stayed and tried to onboard new people. Turns outs that some people were banned and others not? And then others were unbanned ? Why???  Not giving much trust to the people who believed in the project.

THIS is the huge flaw - low allowance means every tip is a larger % and we'll always get screwed by this type of rule.

Really there should be a threshold for these types of implementations - as to keep a safety net to avoid banning valid users like so many artists.

Incredible how someone that runs a project for over a year can’t even figure this out! Mind blowing 🤯

It really suck... Same old story... Small ones always loose

Great point. And also, nothing can win back the trust of the community after this. A huge loss for the degen project. Poorly executed indeed.

Agree at million percent! Degen went in the very wrong direction. Trust is lost.

As a community we can't let this happen it's unfair.

Cuz they know how to farm it. They give a big amount of like 15 k every couple of days to each other, that's why they're not banned. And Jacek knows it well.

I think that this is very important point to consider.
