Thanks Pine!
So far there were a few false positives but they have been identified and their accounts re-enabled.
I'm periodically monitoring the activity feed for any more false positives but I don't expect more since I adjusted the filter in response to what I've learned.
(Sorry for the late reply, this got left unsent in my drafts folder by mistake)

Thank you, Mukunda. I am experiencing a shortage of good news today, so I'm glad to read about your work on this.
Hopefully people whose accounts are accidentally disabled will be understanding, and hopefully their recovery experiences will be simple and straightforward.

Anti-vandalism functionality has now been deployed in Phabricator for a while. After adjusting the parameters in response to a few initial issues and letting it run over the weekend, I'm now fairly confident in the algorithm. It should reliably detect and disable accounts which are doing automated edits (except for the bots that we have white-listed ). In addition, it should be unlikely to affect users due to normal user
activity
like task submission / editing / commenting, etc. When a user account is disabled due to antivandalism, a notification is posted into the phabricator event feed[1]. If any account is disabled due to a false positive, then any phabricator admin may re-enable the account in the
usual
way within phabricator's 'manage user' UI.
If anyone has any questions, or notices a problem, please let me know!
