Data flood checking and improved performance of gaming processes

A method, comprising:

• identifying, by a processing device, activity data that is related to activity of a plurality of users on a gaming platform, wherein the activity data is used by the gaming platform to perform a gaming process;
• identifying first data of the activity data based on a first characteristic;
• determining a number of times that the first data of the activity data meets a first condition of a plurality of conditions;
• responsive to determining that the number of times that the first data of the activity data meets the first condition satisfies a first threshold, determining that the first data is illegitimate flood data that negatively impacts performance of the gaming process;
• in response to determining that the first data is illegitimate flood data, removing the first data from the activity data;
• and
• after removing the first data, performing the gaming process using the activity data having the first data removed therefrom.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• identifying activity data that is related to activity of a plurality of users on a gaming platform, wherein the activity data is used by the gaming platform to perform a gaming process;
• identifying first data of the activity data based on a first characteristic;
• determining a number of times that the first data of the activity data meets a first condition of a plurality of conditions;
• responsive to determining that the number of times that the first data of the activity data meets the first condition satisfies a first threshold, determining that the first data is illegitimate flood data that negatively impacts performance of the gaming process;
• in response to determining that the first data is illegitimate flood data, removing the first data from the activity data;
• and
• after removing the first data, performing the gaming process using the activity data having the first data removed therefrom.

A system, comprising:

• a memory that stores instructions;
• and
• a processing device coupled to the memory, wherein the processing device is operative to execute the instructions to perform or cause to be performed operations that include:
• identify activity data that is related to activity of a plurality of users on a gaming platform, wherein the activity data is used by the gaming platform to perform a gaming process;
• identify first data of the activity data based on a first characteristic;
• determine a number of times that the first data of the activity data meets a first condition of a plurality of conditions;
• responsive to determination that the number of times that the first data of the activity data meets the first condition satisfies a first threshold, determine that the first data is illegitimate flood data that negatively impacts performance of the gaming process;
• in response to determination that the first data is illegitimate flood data, remove the first data from the activity data;
• and
• after removal of the first data, perform the gaming process using the activity data having the first data removed therefrom.
