    Cheat User ! why ?

    hey guys i make this thread now that it seems that RedLynx are not interrested in , not sure ? i have reported this also "Leaderboard Scoring [Report Bad Scores Here]" in this Thread !

    so now : there is a new Track on the TC called Donkey Mountain made by User TeriXeri , please watch the replay from user plastikcity , in the leaderboard you can see that he made 0 faults , but on his replay you see that he has made actually 15 faults with the same time ! (and the replay is not broken this time lol) ! its not the first time i noticed this from this user plastikcity , i think 60 percent of his scores are cheated ! how is this possible and why user needs to make this ?

    i also think too (agree with MurdocLoch) that such user should be banned from the leaderboards !

    sorry that i have made this post here in the "User Created Tracks" Thread as i didn´t have known where to create as the most of you track Creators watching this Forum !

    We are actually very interested in this. This user also has the number 1 time in one of my tracks as well.

    People having 0 faults and a better time than their replay is showing when you try to watch it might not be indicative of cheating, that's the server's fault for not using the right replay.
    I've had this happen a few times with people on my friends list whose other times are legitimate and with working replays corresponding to their best time.

    I agree with banning people from the leader boards who got nothing but corrupt replays with the rider crashing somewhere on the track and having at times impossible scores.

    However in one instance a player got nothing but corrupt replays but he only set times ranked under 100-150s most of the time - not sure if he's cheating and tries to make it seem legitimate or if his system/connection is at fault.
    Since I'm uncertain about that, I'd rather PM a Dev/CM with the name of the player than name calling him in the "Leaderboard Scoring [Report Bad Scores Here]"-thread.

    It may not mean they cheated. On my first track Acrophobia I got 60 faults my first run, which I later improved to 2. If you watch the replay it still shows my 60 fault run.

    hmmm but what makes me wounder are that i personal have noticed this things especially on user plastikcity !

    on this track:

    Leaderboard 0 faults 2:29.524

    replay 15 faults 2:29.524

    how are we to explain the different ?

    as i said noticed this especially on this user on more tracks as well ! in my opinion there is definetly something wrong !

    i agree with confused and Wake. more or less its an issue with the leaderboards. because i have like 8 or so tracks as of late and steve_255 is mainly the top player of my tracks. when my maps originally comes out, the leaderboards says he got about 0 faults. click on his replay which isnt broken, he really has like 4-5 faults maybe more. i think leader boards just need an update. not baggin on steve, hes a really good player. but i dont see him as a cheater ^^.

    also in a few of the older maps on XBLA this happens in the replays i had seen it as well.. so leaderboards > cheating. really waiting on that update shifty ^^.

    I have no idea, but the server probably doesn't update the leaderboard with the new replay so their old replay is still shown. Like I said, I really don't know.

    That is a bit strange it would have the same time in the replay but not faults.

    same user on Track "Lustige Talfahrt" (was the fastest i could find for now)

    Leaderboard 0 faults 1:17.183

    replay 5 faults 1:17.183

    if it would have some differents in the time and faults i would probably agree , here you can see this as well , leaderboard 0 faults same time replay 5 faults exactly same time , maybe i see this with wrong eyes (don´t know) ?

    maybe only shifty can find it out whats wrong there

    Re: Cheat User ! why ?

    From what I've seen of plastikcity (broken replays constantly, even on my track Multiple Choice Exam in RL Picks, and stupid times) I feel there is foul play a gwarn

    Edit. reading previous replies, it does look a lot like cheating/hacking but in a way that isnt too obvious and easily overlooked. I'm not pointing the finger but I'm sure it's
    Possible and therefore people will.
