Hi, Players! I’ve compiled some data from the forum, covering around 817 community blacklist submissions from 2015 to 2025. Only submission with correct format of "ign/reason/detail" were included in this analysis — incorrect format submission were excluded. Cases of misunderstanding, or which players had resolved the issue, were still included in this study. The way I categorized these submission is based on my opinion and text matching. There are 4 cases that I couldn't categorize due to complexity — please ignore those. Also, keep in mind some cases are mixed condition, e.g. pq-boss-run-related + scam. So there may be some errors. I picked some words from chatgpt recommendation, and build a wordcloud by counting how many cases are tagged with the keywords. I hope this serves as a helpful reminder to all players - be kind! All data were publicly sourced from: *NEWER* Community Blacklist [retired] New New Community Blacklist Community Blacklist Please find the chart, wordcloud, and data file attached. Regards, Scotty Data File: P.S. The forum doesn't seem to allow Excel uploads, so I've uploaded the file to Google Sheets instead. Wordcloud generated here.
That word cloud gives me some opendota word cloud flash backs. I am pretty shocked that scams outweigh APQ reportings and I'm deeply upset that we actually have 120 harassment incidents over pixels.
