How to judge the "account_flag"?

[MVP_lCE™]

From 1 to 10?
How much is good? And how much is bad?
Does it represents something we have to focus on?

Nobody know what is account_flag? :(
But weird, still saw some people recommended others to refer to account_flags like he knows. Funny.

I was just looking at this myself, noone knows what it's for. Alot of people have 1. Some people have 3, I saw 1 guy had 7 on a google search. I think 0 is a possibility aswell. Not sure.

I have 3. Someone said a 3 is your being looked at for cheating. Which would make sense cause I used to blindhook alot on pudge, recently I dagger dive alot with Ursa. I had a guy recently accusing me of hacking. Said they'd watch the replay. Seriously though, they're ganna be near a tower to defend. I'm a freaking Ursa I can dive and if someones there they are ganna die. And if the whole teams there I'll kill someone and die after. Haha, I'm super agressive thats how I like them Dotes!

3 means cheating? Okay. That is a bit funny. Well...blind hooking. So? Everyone can do it, right? Random hook can be said as blind hook also.
Is it a code to represent the game play types?
Or a score to count the penalty?
Anyone has more idea? :(

Not much but at least some info at https://dota2.gamepedia.com/Matchmaking, quoted:

Behavior Score and Account Flags
...
Account flags are represented as an integer value. Most players report having an account flag value of 0, 1 or 3. It is known that account flags with values 7 or 10 indicate that the player is in a special pool, separate from the rest, known as shadow pool. Players in the shadow pool will remain matched against other players in the shadow pool independently of their behavior score. Matchmaking time in the shadow pool is generally much longer than in the normal pool.

Nah, i enjoy playing not really much in community and look like you are 4-5 younger than me.

You don't know when I was active and inactive in community or gaming. How old are you actually?

Oh cool, you can see if your shadow pooled. Wonder what the difference between 0 1 and 3 is.

yep, I have 11 and no idea what it's for.

also for people who said 7 was a "shadow pool" they're wrong, that just means you're going to get a 6-month ban penalty soon. No idea what 11 is for though.

[Try your best please:)]

i have 75 :)

[kanwulf.Neoxa]

75 too, its probabily a code not just a number.
