You'll send Stefan after them? :O

I always check them twice.

I wonder why Radiohead comes to mind... XD

JBertolli · « **Reply #4 on:** December 20, 2007, 04:00:12 PM »

Isn't that what the Confirm stat page is for? People need to notice their typos on that page.

Groudon · « **Reply #5 on:** December 20, 2007, 04:02:35 PM »

Yes, but not many people bother to notice.

KnucklesSonic8 · « **Reply #6 on:** December 20, 2007, 04:03:54 PM »

I've been guilty of that a couple times myself.

But for me, I do look them over, but they seem right to me and I don't give it a third thought I guess.

That rarely happens anymore, though, as I usually type it right the first time. :P

GerbilSoft · « **Reply #7 on:** December 20, 2007, 04:11:17 PM »

Idea: Implement a 30-second delay on the Confirm Stats page, which forces you to wait 30 seconds after loading the Confirm Stats page before it will allow you to submit your stats.

Also, we could implement a setting that would allow users to turn the delay off after they've been registered for a month or so, or something similar.

KnucklesSonic8 · « **Reply #8 on:** December 20, 2007, 04:12:45 PM »

Great idea. Except, maybe stick it to 15. 30 is too lengthy especially if you're only submitting one stat.

I could make it something like 10 seconds initially, then +2 seconds a stat past the first stat with a maximum of 30 seconds.

Gerbil: There we go.

That'll work perfectly. Or, why not cut it down to 10 for the sake of argument and then implement the ruling you were talking about.

Good thinking.

1. I always confirm my stats before I even go to the confirmation page >_>

2. Better idea: keep the delay until [user] has hit submit x times, giving them time to get the picture, especially if they don't submit that often.

Stefan · « **Reply #15 on:** February 11, 2008, 05:37:47 PM »

thread necromancy.

sin.

the two belong in a sentence condemning thread necomancy.

put it together.

I check my stats usually a couple times before posting,but I might make a mistake sometimes.

silvermetal18 · « **Reply #18 on:** June 02, 2008, 03:16:12 PM »

I always check mine and leave goofy faces as the comments

Parax · « **Reply #19 on:** June 02, 2008, 03:17:47 PM »

You just bumped a 4-month old topic to post that?

finalgamer23 · « **Reply #20 on:** June 23, 2008, 12:34:46 PM »

So....your saying f it beats someones record we should verify it??
Seems reasonable but think about it...not many people are willing to post what they really got without lying.

Selphos · « **Reply #21 on:** June 23, 2008, 12:51:45 PM »

Final, that's the entire point. If someone can't come up with proof of their stat, and we have given them sufficient time to get proof, then we will assume they are lying and give the proper punishment.

If I missed some part of the process someone please correct me >_>

ive only posted 3 things..only because thats all i have..I havent got to play the game in a few days..bummer

Selphos · « **Reply #23 on:** June 23, 2008, 04:29:15 PM »

No, no, no. You're not obligated to give proof always. You're only required to obtain proof of your record if we find it suspicious. Of course you can keep some proof handy just to show us you're trustworthy. :P

EngiNerd · « **Reply #24 on:** June 23, 2008, 07:34:33 PM »

Heck, you don't even necessarily need to have proof if you broke a record. Just if it's suspicious.
Really, these guys have some way of finding fake stats, and it's eerily accurate. So stay legit and you won't have to deal with anything.

GerbilSoft · « **Reply #25 on:** June 23, 2008, 07:48:20 PM »

I decided to upload a video describing how our automatic fake stat checker determines if a stat is fake. You can see it here.

gtfo, noob. Do you really think that helps the topic to randomly run around with rickrolls?

he helps run the forums so he can do whatever.
but yes..posting times of like 1-5 seconds or the glitch score from egmmans space level dont count...why?

on the level if you know the correct spot to hover at you can end out with a total score of over 1,000,000

Selphos · « **Reply #28 on:** June 23, 2008, 11:07:22 PM »

"he helps run the forums so he can do whatever."

Just because he's an administrator and all that bullshit doesn't mean he's immune to rules.
Unfortunately rickrolling isn't a crime, it justs irritates the shit out of some of us...

But yes. There are certain techniques that we do not accept, such as that one you gave as an example from Cosmic Wall. Such techniques make competition less about skill, and more about memorizing how x will give you infinite points. And obviously if you can get an infinite amount of points what's the point of competing over who can get more?

Some less game-breaking techniques are usable, however. You need to submit them to the Freestyle division if they are not allowed normally. For example, the Cannon's Core glitch with Mission 2 and Chao World is usable if you submit to freestyle.

i checked my game today..will submit more score related stuff later..I lack 5 emblems....
Knuckles all A rank

Rouge all a rank
Egman all a rank
tails all a rank
sonic all a rank..

however the videos from here help a lot in showing how to get a ranks or do things far faster..
i think the only thing i wont get a great time for is cannons core mission 3 or 1.
