May Arena Stats: 600 played in my arena's 25 banned, 11 of those won medals 4 banned for abuse!

Basically doing monthly maintenance as well as looking back on each arena, total arenas for the month, banned, abuse and how many medals possible and how many banned won medals for May.

20 Arena's ran since May 5th  600 players Approximately
25 banned
4 Abuse

61 medals aquired (1 tie)
11 medals won by banned players

So with all the players that play in my arena's, of course there are a lot of multiple arena players but 25 players banned out of 600 players participating is a low percentage.  The 4 players accounts closed for abuse, did not happen during these arena's.  Of the 61 medals attained though, 11 medals were attained by banned players   Roughly 1/6th of medals in May were attained by players eventually banned from chess.com.

For two weeks I also was running rated arena's in the morning and roughly half of the medals and players banned were from those 6 arena's.  Not running those in the mornings and am playing Wizardry now instead.  So from what I can tell most players about 90 percent are playing fair & legit in the arena's that I run.  Probably even higher than that,  It is the minority that really come in to cheat in my arenas, but when they do cheat, they usually go all in and take 1/6th of the medals that are available.  Hopefully in June the numbers will prove to be even lower for those that abuse the system. Since the arena's are all unrated for this month.

So positive news on that front.  If anyone wants to check for June, they can click on the arena links for each arena.  Some arena's I had to restart and forgot to put the updated link in.  So those arena's in May obviously were not counted.
