So the matchmaking equivalent to hellbanning

I wonder if anyone has actually put any real thought into effectiveness of such concepts? Creating a parallel universe to stick your undesirables; 4chan and reddit do something similar (though the user self-influcts it) with their containment boards, so the history definitely exists

>containment boards

What are the containment boards? I assume you aren't talking about /r/thedonald.

On 4chan at least, containment boards are a subforum created for people who are talking about generally unliked subjects. /mlp/ is an example, it was created to discuss my little pony Fandom to stop it being discussed elsewhere on the site.

DoTA 2 has been doing this for years now with toxic players. I don't recall reading anything about how effective it ended up being, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I recently started playing DoTA again after stopping for about 2 years and I have run into a handful of toxic players, but it doesn't seem to be as frequent or as bad as it used to be. For example, when I stopped playing two years ago it was basically a 50/50 chance you would be in a game where someone would say really terrible things about Brazilian or Chinese players for the entire match.

Sounds a lot like Brockian Ultra-Cricket.

Three-factor authentication? What's the third factor? Something you know, something you own, and... maybe something you are (biometrics)?

It's a mistake/misunderstanding in the article. They're using two factor authentication: https://old.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/cciyx6/712_res...
