# Slashing Mechanism

Maintaining high-quality and high-integrity data is crucial for the Network's health. To mitigate spam and malicious data, we have implemented a Slashing mechanism that leads to temporary account suspension in certain offenses and, if persistent, permanent account ban.

Below is the violations table containing the offenses, tolerance levels, and consequences. Each offense is explained in more detail in [Slashing Reasons](/the-network/slashing-mechanism/slashing-reasons.md).

| Offense                  | Tolerance | Consequence         |
| ------------------------ | --------- | ------------------- |
| Exact Duplicate Post     | 5         | Progressive Ban     |
| User-Level Duplicates    | 5         | Slashing + 1 Strike |
| Network-Level Duplicates | 10        | Slashing + 1 Strike |
| Non-Original Posts       | 5         | Slashing + 1 Stirke |
| AI-Generated Posts       | 3         | Slashing + 1 Strike |

The actions that lead to violations are detected in a hybrid system that encompasses [MemAgent](/the-network/memagents.md) detection and review by our [Guardian System](/the-network/dispute-and-guardian-system.md). Humans and agents work together to ensure a robust and fair system to prevent abuse and ensure the long-term health of the network.

Note that we **will not penalize** users for [non-aligned or outlier data](/the-network/reward-mechanism/technical-details/post-quality-memagent/outlier-likelihood.md). The slashing system is built to prevent only abuse and dishonest behavior. We strongly encourage all of our community members to avoid the actions above and upload **HONEST DATA.**

**We want to see your world, environment, and way of thinking.**

If the [Quests](/get-involved/explore-quests.md) on the app are not giving you enough options to upload honest data, please reach out to us on Twitter or Discord and help us ideate more Quests to empower you to collect data around you.

To dispute the violations, slashes, or bans, please email <dispute@eidon.ai>.
