Yeah, wth? Stampede and weee are both great riders, I mean... WTH ORLY???? Please do investigate and fix those 2 guys. They defo are not cheating!
Worth noting there could be other non-cheating riders that were removed, but I only noticed these two. I talk to weee99 a lot and use his ghosts as kind of a marker for how I'm doing (I feel our skills are very similar), and I have raced stampede-8's ghosts a lot as well, back when he was more active and was finding timesavers a lot. All of their ghosts are legit as far as I am concerned.
Well we got our first hacker on the IOS horseshoe/event leaderboard, with 42949 horseshoes....![]()
Hi,
So first I would like to thank you all for alerting to this issue. Despite being careful about removal of each player there was still a risk of this happening.. and it did since our tools were very strict on minimal differences in records. We have restored the scores for both weee9 and stampede-8 according to our server records. Any disparities between totals will be handled by game vs. server syncs once the players play.
Regarding the scope of players affected it should be extremely small but we will keep monitoring and evaluating these corner cases. And of course continue to improve our tools for invalid record detection and removal.

Yes I am following up on this on both platformsOriginally Posted by xitooner Go to original post
Edit:
We are now clearing these invalid results and will continue to do so for the duration of the event.
Thanks guys! You guys rock. Not sure weee99 is ever going to play again, so he might be stuck not being on the boards (which sucks) but I will let him know the deal.
EDIT: Looks like they are both back on there and everything is all good! Job well done.
Thought I'd copy/paste this into this thread as well, only because I forgot there was one for Dodgy Leader Board scores etc. !!
Hopefully someone can look into this and fix the Rodeo Event Leader Board for us all !?
Have a look at the top 74 (Below) and you can see that we have Hackers/Cheaters around the top and the whole thing is Out of Sync and basically all over the place !!
Since posting this, the top 20 is MUCH worse than I've shown in my screen-shots below, with more Hackers etc. Even more with over 40k !!
How can you give an honest grading of the Top 20% to give out prizes when the Leader Board looks like this already !?!?
I hope this can get sorted out soon otherwise I can see a lot of people missing out on the weekly prize when they should be well within the Top 20% !!

Thanks for the info and the screenshots. We definitely take cheating seriously and we are working on to remove the false results. We will be monitoring the situation more closely during the Rodeo Event so that the competition stays fair.
Great job by the way!Originally Posted by T0ffler Go to original post
On IOS, we had 12 hackers on horseshoe LB, but this morning they were gone. 45 minutes later, 4 were already back... But they were removed again While i watched!
Thanks for the back-up. As you mention I probably won't be playing again for a while or ever, but I'm VERY glad to hear that the leaderboards are being cleaned! If it had happened while I was still playing I may not have stopped yet, but I've been busy so it was probably for the best. I'm happy for those still playing that it is being made right, since the leaderboard is the foundation of a game like this. Well done QA team!Originally Posted by justinman114 Go to original post
