👉 Ban engineering refers to the strategic process of identifying, monitoring, and removing undesirable or harmful entities—such as spam accounts, malicious bots, or disruptive content—from online platforms to maintain a healthy and secure environment. This involves implementing technical measures like automated filters, machine learning algorithms, and real-time monitoring systems to detect and block these entities. Ban engineering also includes human moderation for complex cases and collaboration with third-party services to enhance detection capabilities. The goal is to prevent abuse, protect user experiences, and ensure compliance with community guidelines and legal standards.
