Adaptive System for Detecting Abusive Accounts

A method, comprising:

• identifying, by a service provider server comprising one or more hardware processors, a first subset of accounts from a set of accounts, each account in the first subset of accounts satisfying a first abuse score threshold for a first time period, the first abuse score threshold corresponding to a first buyer abuse component;
• determining a first restriction rate for the first subset of accounts based on a number of accounts in the first subset of accounts that have been restricted for potential abuse;
• comparing the first restriction rate with respective restriction rates of one or more other subsets of the set of accounts that correspond to one or more other abuse components;
• and
• based on the comparing, determining whether to adjust the first abuse score threshold.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that in response to execution by one or more hardware processors, causes a service provider system to perform operations comprising:

• identifying a first subset of accounts from a set of accounts, each account in the first subset of accounts satisfying a first abuse score threshold for a first time period, the first abuse score threshold corresponding to a first buyer abuse component;
• determining a first restriction rate for the first subset of accounts based on a number of accounts in the first subset of accounts that have been restricted for potential abuse;
• comparing the first restriction rate with respective restriction rates of one or more other subsets of the set of accounts that correspond to one or more other abuse components;
• and
• based on the comparing, determining whether to adjust the first abuse score threshold.
